The teens aspiring to become the next "American Idol" for the 2008 season are vocal about more than just their passion for singing.
Potential stars like Amy Catherine Flynn, who got a green light from judges at the Knoxville, South Carolina, auditions on Wednesday, are making it no secret to the public that they support sexual abstinence.
When the 17-year-old Catholic High School student was asked to share something about herself, she said she was the captain of the school's dance team and a STARS (Students Teaching And Respecting Sexuality) panelist.
Flynn said she goes to schools to talk about abstaining from sex, drugs and alcohol.
Before she sang her rendition of "Reflections" to the judges, Flynn even gave Simon Cowell a short speech on abstinence.
If Flynn makes it past the Hollywood semifinals, which will air next month, she would follow in the pro-abstinence footsteps of late American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, who says she wears a purity ring as a symbol of her commitment to sexual abstinence before marriage.
At the Dallas auditions last Wednesday, 19-year-old Bruce Dickson also stood by his position on abstinence.
Asked to share something about himself, Dickson told judges and millions of viewers that he had never kissed a girl.
"What?" Randy Jackson asked. "On purpose?"
"On purpose," Dickson said. "On my wedding day, that will be my first kiss."
He told judges that he wanted to "save everything for that one special woman".
But his commitment to purity was not well received.
Jackson's advice to Dickson after judges voted him out was to "go kiss some girls".
