And speaking for Jennifer, it's just a really cool thing to be able to look them in the face and go, look. For her too, because she was like, I didn't win and I won an Oscar.

Like, it's not, even after you, like, after I won Idol, people were like, oh, she's a millionaire. No, it wasn't. Like, they say million dollar contract. No, I didn't. They said I'd get a car.
