"Bo, you're my baby. I love you, Bo," last year's winner told the syndicated tabloid show "Extra."
"He's just got this bad-boy rockish thing, and he's got the long hair and all the girls love him. But he's mine," Barrino said of Bice, who faces Carrie Underwood Tuesday night in the final competition. The winner will be announced Wednesday night.
"A lot of doors are opening for me right now," Barrino said of the video she filmed for her new single, "Free Yourself," atop a planned national tour and book she is writing.
"I've got a lot of stories to tell," said the 20-year-old single mother. "I dropped out of school at a young age. I had a baby at a young age."
