Ryan Starr

Age: 19

Birthplace: Sunland,CA

Favorite Song: "faithfully" By Journey

First Concert - Phantom of the Opera. I know it's not a concert, but it felt like it.

Last Concert - Jars of Clay

Most Embarrassing Moment - Singing "Happy Birthday" for my best friend and getting nervous in front of a room full of people and forgetting the words.

Why Do You Want To Be An AMERICAN IDOL - To be able to influence or help the masses in a positive way would be a dream come true. An American Idol is someone who has a chance to do that through the music they make, along with the deeds they do.

Favorite Judge? Why? - Randy is very wise when it comes to the production side of things. But, on the other hand, Paula has been on our side of the stage before. So she can really relate.

If you couldn't sing, what talent would you want? - I would want to be able to paint portraits of people.

Least Favorite Judge? Why? - None. All of the judges have a quality that is very important and I value their opinion. I am content with them.

Anything You Would Not Change To Become The American Idol - I am always looking to improve, and I am a strong believer in constructive criticism.
