American Idol winner Candice Glover tried out for the show twice before finally winning this season. In a conference call, the vocal powerhouse revealed why she decided to try out for a third time. She explained, "Well I definitely was hurt and brokenhearted when I got cut, but for some reason even though I kept saying that I wasn't coming back, I kept thinking that maybe 'this one time, it'll work', 'this one time it'll work' and I would always say no, but then I'd find myself looking at auditions again online and going and saying if it doesn't work this time, I would just find a way to branch my music career another way, but I'm so glad that it worked."
She also revealed how she prepared for this season. She said, "I just listened to ever single genre of music out there and got my musical knowledge up and just focused on being myself more and being different and not worrying about being excepted, 'cause in the previous two years, I cared about that a little bit more than I should have and think that is why it really didn't work out. But this time, I was confident and it worked out."
