The Message to the Fans (Each finalist has a handwritten message.)
"To the best fans in the world! You guys rock! I wouldn't be living this wonderful life without you! I love you all so much! Thank you!"
Q & A (Each finalist was asked basically the same Q's)
What are you most looking forward to on the tour?
The tour buses! I think the whole thing is going to be amazing and the top 10 will get a chance to chill again.
Have you been preparing for the tour?
I have wanted to go on tour since I started singing and I can't believe that it is actually happening. I'm gonna try to be as fresh as possible.
What would your fantasy tour dressing room be like?
Any dressing room would be cool as long as there are some jams playing.
Does it take you a long time to get ready before going on stage?
It takes about an hour but the hair and make-up crews work wonders.
Do you get nervous before going no stage?
I always get nervous, but I try to not let the nerves get the best of me and I just take deep breaths.
How will you entertain others on the tour bus?
Well, I'm with 9 other awesome entertainers, so I'm sure there won't be a problem with having a good time!
Who is your favorite pop artist?
I don't have a favorite pop artist because I have so much respect and admiration for any artist who is out there living their dream and making it in this crazy world.
What has been the most rewarding aspect of being on American Idol?
All the exposure and publicity has been wonderful, and the people that I've met that will now be a part of my life for a long time have made my life so much better. I love all of you.
What was the worst part about being an American Idol?
The thing I missed a lot was spending time with my family and friends, but they all have been so supportive and understand that this is an experience of a lifetime.
What has been your favorite song to sing on the show?
I really enjoyed singing "Come to My Window" with everyone in Group One on the results show, because we had all been walking around singing it for a week, and I'm glad we got to perform it with each other.
Who was your best friend on the show?
All of us have a different connection or relationship with each other, but Julia, Trenyce, and I loved to cut it up together and the 3 Amigos will reunite again I hope.
To whom would you dedicate your first album?
I would dedicate my album to my best friend, Jessica, who passed away a couple of years ago. I know that she is my guardian angel, and I look to her when I feel lost and need to regain my strength.
What was the first CD you ever bought?
My first CD was probably NSYNC; it was such a killer CD just like all the others of course.
Who are your musical influences?
I loved Randy Travis and Reba McEntire when I was younger. Now Debra Byrd and Michael Orlando from the show absolutely amze me and are musical genuises.
What singer makes you star struck?
Kelly, Justin, and Tamyra were so pleasant to meet and it was crazy knowing that they had been in the same position as all of us.
What did you miss most from back home?
I love LA and hope to make California my permanent home. I miss hanging with the girls and sleeping in late, but this experience has much greater rewards.
What would you like to do with the rest of your life now that Idol is over?
I never want to stop! I really hope that I can continue singing and hopefully get involved in acting and other areas of the entertainment business.
What was your favorite theme night on American Idol?
I really enjoyed country night because I grew up singing country music. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for the incredible country artists out there.
What was your most embarassing moment while on American Idol?
My most embarrassing moment is when I forgot to wear waterproof mascara on the results show and my girl, Julia, and I were in the bottom. I wound up looking like a raccoon, but it was fun to laugh at later.
