>> James: NOW JENNIFER, THE AMERICAN IDOL SERIES FINALE IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, AS WE PRETTY MUCH SPEAK.
WE HAVE A WHEN YOU A CLIP OF YOU WHEN YOU WERE ON THE SHOW.
DO YOU EVER WONDER WHERE YOU WOULD BE IF YOU HADN'T
AUDITIONED.
AND HAVE YOU STILL GOT THIS DRESS?
>> THAT DRESS WAS, WAS IT EASTER DRESS OR SOMETHING, HI IT MATE
MADE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS SHARP.
BUT I THINK I WOULD STILL BE HERE SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.
EVERYTHING WAS-- NOW WHEN I GO TO IDOL, I WAS JUST THERE, AND
IT'S ALL THE SAME PEOPLE.
THE SAME TECH CREW, THE SAME PEOPLE THAT WAS THERE WHEN I WON
MY OSCAR OR AT THE GRAMMYS, SO IT IS KIND OF A RIOT TO SEE
EVERYTHING COME FULL CIRCLE.
>> James: BEFORE IDOL WEREN'T YOU WORKING ON A DISNEY
CRUISESHIP.
>> I WAS ON A DISNEY CRUISESHIP.
>> James: DID YOU HAVE TO BE A CHARACTER.
>> I WAS CALLIOPE THE HERCULES THE MUSICAL THAT IS WHAT I USED
TO DO BE O THE SHIP.
AND THEN AFTER THAT WAS IDOL.
AND AFTER IDOL WAS DREAM GIRLS AND NOW I'M SITTING HERE LOOKING
AT YOU.
