“They are very much like me. They love music, kind of nerdy. Most of my groupies have been with me since Idol. I have a different kind of fan base because of Idol. I don’t think people see me as unattainable; it’s not like the Britney Spears fans or Beyoncé. Because of Idol, I was in people’s homes every week, and that’s how I got into the business. I think everybody sees me more like a sister than a star.”
