Angela Martin has revealed that she is remaining hopeful about her future after being eliminated from American Idol.

The 28-year-old failed to make the top 24, but told People that she is optimistic about her future in music.

"I remember talking to my daughter, [saying], 'Mommy is going on American Idol'. But the judges told me to keep going and I sound good. I saw the love of Ellen and the judges and the other parents who were there on Idol. I met some incredible, talented people," she insisted.

Martin added that she wouldn't mind trying out for The X Factor when it makes its American debut.

"I tell anyone I meet I am going to go on the X Factor," she said. "I am going to audition for anything. I really do hope something happens! I want to sing and perform. I love music."
