Watch: First round | Finals
Championship        
LaShell Griffin
Age: 36
Hometown: Detroit, Michigan
Occupation: Stay-at-home mother of five
Favorite Song: "Open My Heart" by Yolanda Adams. It's a song that allows you to have that one on one conversation with God. Listening to that song really makes you feel like your heart is open.
Musical Inspiration: My husband Lee. Lee has so much compassion when he sings. He puts everything into his songs—you can't help but feel what he's feeling. He has a way to draw you into his heart. What comes from the heart reaches the heart.
Why Do You Want to be Oprah's Pop Star? It would mean unbelievable doors opening for me that would benefit my family and so many more. It would also show a positive side to Christianity that so many people have not seen or chose not to see. Winning this challenge would be the beginning of my lifelong dream becoming a reality: "Wake up, girl. It's real. Hold on, don't give up and keep on believing. The best is yet to come!"

Talk about LaShell's performance!
