Some interesting quotes:
-
About “Georgia on my Mind”, “…after a certain point, and having the theme weeks given by the producers the song didn’t fit. I tried [to clear] “Try a Little Tenderness” during the love song week and that didn’t fit, either. I might sing “Georgia” on tour.”

When did he feel he could win?, “I would say that about three weeks ago I started really feeling comfortable with the audience and the songs. Then I knew that there was a good chance I would win this thing.”
-
Post-Idol Highlight, “The Tonight Show (with Jay Leno)...As a musician and struggling performer, I used to watch The Tonight Show and all the entertainers that come on it. For me to actually be interviewed on The Tonight Show was a moment that I’ll never forget in my career.”

About the Mainstream Music Scene, “I think it’s getting pretty good. John Legend and people like that, it has such a soulful feel. I like hip-hop and rap, and there’s all kinds of feelings that’s associated with that. Music is not in a bad place right now, in my opinion.”
