Jessica Reedy - &lt;B&gt;BET.com:&lt;/B&gt; Did you think you'd make it this far?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;B&gt;Jessica: Absolutely not. I didn?t think I?d make it pass the auditions. Did you hear that talent?! I wouldn?t dare say I?m the best singer. I?m not even in comparison with the best singers in this world.

Jessica Reedy - &lt;B&gt;BET.com:&lt;/B&gt; Do you feel like a celebrity  now?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;B&gt;Jessica: No. I’m so serious. I feel ordinary. When I go out, when I see people who’ve seen me walk around at the mall for 20 years and all of a sudden their mouths are dropping, I laugh. This guy was like, “I can’t believe it’s you.” I went to high school with him.

Jessica Reedy - &lt;B&gt;BET.com:&lt;/B&gt; Talk about when you became saved.&lt;br&gt;&lt;Br&gt;&lt;B&gt;Jessica: I got saved because I didn?t have any peace. I couldn?t sleep at night. I was tired and crying every single second of the day. I told God I needed some peace. I started slowly changing my  outlook on life. I started training my thoughts. It?s extremely hard to always stay focused on God. I don?t have time for nothing but God. I didn?t want God to be mad about nothing. I just got obedient.

Jessica Reedy - &lt;B&gt;BET.com:&lt;/B&gt; What will you do if you win?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;B&gt;Jessica: If the Lord blesses me to win, I’m going to make sure that the songs on the CD can help someone. I wanna sing outside the church. Who is going to save the clubgoers? Who thinks about them? I don’t think that God blessed me from what I used to do to think I’m better than anyone else.

Jessica Reedy - &lt;B&gt;BET.com:&lt;/b&gt; What was the best advice you received along the way?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;B&gt;Jessica: My complaint was I could not hit those high notes like Latice and Y?anna. Every rehearsal that?s all I talked about. I think mentor Donald Lawrence got tired of me. He was just like, 'would this girl shut up about this range thing. Who cares? Stop it.'

Jessica Reedy - &lt;B&gt;BET.com:&lt;/B&gt; Why do you sing gospel and not secular?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;B&gt;Jessica: I sing Gospel because I love God. I don’t want to be a double minded person who stands for something, but goes a different way. Why wouldn’t I want someone to know the God I serve? Not saying anything’s wrong with other music, but I love God. I want to make it to Heaven. While I’m here on earth, I want God to be happy with me.

Jessica Reedy - &lt;B&gt;BET.com&lt;/B&gt; Is there anything else you want to say to the &quot;Sunday Best&quot; audience?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;B&gt;Jessica: I want them to understand that Gospel is a message. It is not a style. People are getting caught up in 'I don?t sing like a gospel singer.' How does a gospel singer sing? It?s about what?s being delivered, not how it?s delivered. &lt;/B&gt;
