~ Andrea Henry ~

#1 Fan: "I have three: my mom, my dad and my best friend Vanessa. Every little detail of my performance, Vanessa will cringe. If I'm singing and she's in the audience, she'll get so nervous for me, she won't be able to take it. She makes me cry sometimes."

Best Piece Of Advice: "Be yourself and have fun. If you love music people will see that."
