"I grew up listening to Dolly Parton and just loving her music." — Diana DeGarmo

I always knew I wanted to be involved in entertainment in some way. But I really can't say I'd be where I am now if I hadn't been on 'American Idol.'

I want to be a country singer more than anything in the world.

I really truly believe I found my identity with country music.

Good music is timeless, whether it's a country song, rock, or R&B.
