Favorite Song: I have many favorite songs. It depends on what is going on in my life. My heart is on my sleeve, so if I'm happy, it might be "September" by Earth, Wind and Fire. If I'm down, maybe "Eye Is on the Sparrow." But there's one song—it's a dance track but the words are so moving— called "Finally." No matter what I'm feeling, I love that song.
Musical Inspiration: I admire any artist who has worked hard and stayed focused to achieve their dream, like Michael Jackson, Madonna, U2, Marvin Gaye. I admire and am inspired by artists who love to sing and you feel it when they perform.
Why Do You Want to be Oprah's Pop Star? It would mean that more doors have been opened for me to learn and better my talent. I feel very fortunate because just the opportunity to compete in this challenge is teaching me so much about myself and how determined, focused and strong I can be.

Talk about Jackie's performance!
