Why Do You Want To Be An AMERICAN IDOL

I truly believe that I understand what it entails to be an AMERICAN IDOL. For the past few years, I have focused, prepared and dedicated a great portion of my life to becoming a person who fits all of the criteria I defined as being an AMERICAN IDOL. It has been my dream since I was a little girl and who's to say that little girls' dreams don't come true?

Most Embarrassing Moment

I had on four inch stiletto heeled boots while walking down stairs. Of course my heel got caught, and down I fall about fifteen stairs…ALL the way to the bottom and onto the floor.

Favorite Judge? Why?

I favored Paula because she is an entertainer and has a personal understanding of what performing is all about.

Least Favorite Judge? Why?

I really did not dislike any of them. After learning more about them, it was revealed that they all are admirable people who I admire for their knowledge and their accomplishments.

Anything You Would Not Change To Become The American Idol

I would not change the style of my voice, meaning voice quality, etc.

What are you going to call your first CD?

"Melanie Noelle" or "The Diary of a Diva"!
