"Being a female, I know what it's like to go through a bad break up and not get to say what you reall..." — Gabby Barrett

I was raised listening to so many wonderful females with great music.

Country radio has been extremely good to me, which I am extremely grateful for and and means a bunch. But there is room for many other people.

Something a lot of people don't know about me is I sucked my thumb until I was in like eighth grade. It's cause, when I was a baby, I sucked my thumb and I guess my mom and dad never weaned me off of that, because they thought it was cute. And then it's like an addiction. That's your security blanket.

The judges have been so supportive and amazing even after 'Idol.'
