Your whole life has changed since American Idol. What has stayed the same?
Me personally, I’m still the same. My life at Главная hasn’t really changed all that much. I just went to school today and when I’m home, it’s all the same and it doesn’t change until I’m out on the road.
When the Показать wrapped, there were all these rumors about Ты and Lauren. Are Ты single now?
I’m still single. I’m a busy man nowadays and I don’t have much time to focus on anything except work.
A couple of weeks назад when Ты were Пение the national anthem, the microphone wasn’t on. What went though your mind when that happened?
I was dealing with the mic for about fifteen минуты prior, I was telling them the mic wasn’t working and they told me that it would start working when I started Пение but it never did. Once they panned on the flag, they gave me a new mic so it wasn’t a huge deal.
Were Ты nervous at all to sing the national anthem?
Ты better believe it. That’s a big song, so I just wanted to go up there and do a good job with it and stay true to the way it’s supposed to be and that’s what I think I did.
Is there anything Ты do to fight nerves that Ты have?
I just kind of roll with it. Sometimes, when I hear the right music, I’ll try to get myself pumped up … once I get on stage and I see the crowd, it just kind of flows and I’m fine.
Do Ты think Idol helped Ты deal with pressure?
Oh definitely, we had to Переместить quick on that show. Being a coffee Магазин singer here in North Carolina to playing local gigs to all of the sudden playing in front of 25 million people, that’s a big step up so Ты had to kind of grow up and deal with that pressure. It taught us a lot of ways to do that.
How have your Друзья and family reacted to all of this?
What’s cool is that most of my Друзья think it’s wild, but they still treat me the same. It’s been great with family and friends, but it’s the people who didn’t really know me who got weirded out. With my friends, it’s like nothing ever changed … I’ve grown up with them in church and playing baseball my whole life.
So they’re not going to let Ты get too big of a celebrity head.
Oh no! They keep me grounded.
