I'm bringing my mommy.

Oh.

And a teddy bear.

Oh. I've said that so many times today.

Oh yeah, a teddy bear.

Guys have you clicked with anyone specifically that you're excited to maybe spoon with in the bunks or anything?

No spooning.

Oh. super excited about being able to connect with all the fans and being able to like you know, kind of give them a thank you performance.

You're not, this is not new to you. You're you're kind of uh legit musician. You've done a lot of performing.

Oh, thanks so much for saying that. I'm glad you. I'm glad you've looked at my previous pass. So karaoke on TV, you know.

Yeah.

Are a lot of dancing this tour?

There is. Actually. Um I can tell you for sure in my in my little piece I'm going to have a dance breakdown.

But um also I'll probably going to do a dance break down.

Yeah. See with the robots.

I read online that you had auditioned prior. Is that correct?

And Yeah, we both did.

Oh, you did?

I from Chicago.

Yeah. The year before. Um and yeah, did you out my fifth time?

Wow.

Yeah. So this is started as a baby. Randy Jackson has watched me grow. Isn't that crazy? Giving up is not an option.

And who snuck up on you when you were on the show that like wouldn't give you the time of day before? Anyone specifically? Like ex-boyfriends, ex-teachers?

Oh, a whole bunch of that. I'm getting text messages. I have to change my number because I'm getting text messages from people I haven't talked to in years that wouldn't give me the time of day.

And we cannot wait to see you live this summer.

Oh, yeah. It's going to be fun.

Yeah. Yeah. Get to finally let out all this adrenaline building up from not being on the show and on the stage and go around and give back to all the fans that really got us here in the first place, you know. Very, very excited about the tour. It's going to be pretty epic. So, um yeah, just really excited to start doing doing the uh the end of our rehearsals, thank God, and really get on that stage and start performing for the people. I can't wait.
