[on one of her songs she sang during her tenure on American Idol: The Search for a Superstar (2002)]: I believe that everybody wanted that 'And I Am Telling You' moment every week, and when you're singing different genres of music ... those styles don't necessarily have that big song that everybody is expecting every week. I think I did my best with what I was given. Show less «
