PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
"So my whole experience on the show was Simon saying, 'I want you to sing more of the blues soul stuff and everything' -- but not every theme week fit into that. What I chose throughout the entire competition was a representation of the kind of artist I'm going to be after I get voted off. I'm going to be a rock soul singer. I'm going to make that kind of record. I'm proud that I stayed true to that throughout the entire competition."
"For me, what was more important was showing American what kind of record I'm going to make after the fact," he said. "I never wavered from the fact that I sang rock and soul. That was more important to me than getting the three thumbs up at the end of the day."
Regarding his song choice for Mariah Carey week: "A really cool soul version, blues soul version again of 'Vision of Love,'" he explained. "It was hot, too, so I'm a little bummed."
