Outgoing American idol contestant Katie Stevens has admitted that she won’t be able to go to her high school prom, because if her ongoing Idol commitments.

In an interview with People, the 17 year old Connecticut girl admitted that she will be too busy rehearsing for the Idol tour this summer to think about Prom dresses and corsages. She said:

I actually don’t think I will be able to attend prom or graduation because that’s when tour rehearsals will start. But I’m going to go back home, hang out with my friends, keep up with school so that I can graduate and get my diploma. But I’m really looking forward to the tour and, hopefully, after that, writing an album.

When asked what kind of music she sees herself recording, Katie admitted that she looks up to former Idol winner Kelly Clarkson and would like to emulate her style. She said:

In an album, I would like to record things like Kelly Clarkson, where she has the soulful voice, kind of R&B, soul, pop with rock background.
