All that stuff - 'teen idol' - that wasn't me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
They were marketing me as a teen idol, when the stuff on the record was not what teen idols were doing at the time.
Being a teen idol is what I've waited for my whole life.
I had this talent for these stupid little teenage songs.
I felt like I got more comfortable on 'Idol' when I just started being myself and not trying to be what I thought I had to be.
Being a teen idol or being a heartthrob on all the magazines, with Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, and Scott Baio - it was embarrassing! I never understood it. I mean, why me? I never really got it.
I didn't want to be the typical teen idol. I didn't want to be Leif Garrett. I didn't want to be Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy or Parker Stevenson. I wanted to do my own thing.
'American Idol' has taken over my whole life.
I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies, you're a teen idol by default.
I was a teen idol and that has a short shelf life.
Everybody is a teenage idol.
