When Kelly was younger, she wanted to be a marine biologist, at least until she saw Jaws. While living in L.A. two years ago, she was an extra on the television show called Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and was paid to record demo tapes for Hollywood record producers. She does promotional work for Red Bull by passing out free samples and works as a cocktail waitress at a comedy club in Arlington, Texas. When asked why she should be Idol-ized, this beautiful talented singer said "I have the pipes, I have the stage presence, and I have the drive,". Singing isn't Kelly's only interest, she has always wanted to pick up on the guitar because she thinks it's just the coolest instrument.
Her lucky charm is a silver bracelet inscribed with the words 'Own the Power', given to the semifinalists on American Idol by Paula Abdul.
"Like every other girl in the world, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!" as Kelly giggles when asked what her most embarrassing moment was.
Kelly's favorite singer is, "Reba McEntire. What a voice!", and her favorite song is "Kissing You" by Des'ree.
