Though she could not make it to the top 14 of American Idol 16, Alyssa Raghunandan believes the show gave her career the jumpstart it needed. Having earned words of praise from the judges — especially Katy Perry, the 15-year-old says the reality series is the first step towards realising her dream of being a pop artiste. "Being on American Idol means the country gave me a chance. The celebrities and people I'm working with saw some potential in me," gushes Raghunandan.
