I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...even though I have never met her in person, her personality flares on television, she's fun, bubbly and reminds me a bit of myself at her age......and I think it's great what she's doing about trying to eliminate malaria in Africa, I'm a registered nurse and would love to get involved and help anyway I can.....I also belive that she is extremely talented and just luv her and my 4yr old luvs her so much that he wishes to perform with her one day....lol...he's quite a character himself......
