Gossip Teen

The super sweet 17 year-old Aaron Kelly, who has an interesting and beautiful life story, made it to the top 5 of the ninth season of American Idol. Aaron was adopted and raised by his aunt who he calls mother and defines himself as a country singer. He is a fan of Miley Cyrus and is ready to work on his debut album.

You had a chance to meet your idols, Rascal Flatts. How did you keep from being star struck?
Aaron: Yes, that was incredible! In the beginning I was star struck by everybody I met. And then you get to where you learn that they are just people and they like to be treated as people more than they like to be treated as stars, and so I felt the more I went through, that’s how it became. When I met Rascal Flatts, I was still pretty excited! But I tried to keep my cool and everything. I got to take a picture with them all and getting to talk to them, they are really nice guys.

What did you learn most from the celebrity mentors on the show?
Aaron: The mentors have taught you to put yourself into your song, don’t just sing the song; believe the song, because if you believe it, than the audience is going to believe it.
