Change the world through self love

My friend Eliina has been told she looks like an American Idol contestant. Out of the bunch, she figures the comment was probably refering to pink-haired Amy Adams of Bakerfield, Calif.

That comparison is pretty freakin' off … and so is Adams herself, it turns out. Here's some of what the 24-year-old told her Fox interviewers:

What other talents do you have?

Professional Make-up Artistry, I can make different noises and voices.

Favorite album of all time?

John Mayer "Room for Squares."

Most embarrassing moment?

Being spanked in the bologna aisle when I was 11 and my friend from school coming around the corner while my mom was still yelling. So horrible!

If you couldn't sing, which talent would you most like to have?

I would love to be a genius, I think that it would be so awesome.

Why do you want to be an AMERICAN IDOL?

I believe that we can all change the world in small form. Being granted a chance to have people believe in your talents enough that you can touch the world in masses, there is no telling how you can change the world. Whether it be through music, charity, or simply, self love.

Thoughts?
