Over the weeks, we watched as the green performer took on songs such as "Trouble," "Everybody Knows," and "Wonderful World." Each week, Alex was told that he had a unique tone to his voice and overall the judges really warmed up to the North Richland Hills, Texas native. Check out what the judges had to say:
Alex Lambert was ready to go the distance, and America was ready to follow, but sadly during the week 3 eliminations he was voted off. Leaving America heartbroken after his tearful goodbye, Alex Lambert spoke out on a crowed press line about the judges’ encouragement, his much hyped mullet, his future plans, and his emotional exit.
What you did after the show to unwind and whether the judges talked to you at all?
Well, they talked to me and they pretty much told me that I need more experience and it’s true and stuff, but I don’t know, I felt like vocally it was my time, but I didn’t have enough experience on the stage and that’s pretty much what they were telling me. They all know I have a good voice and they tell me I have a lot of future ahead of me.
Do you think it was the judges’ encouragement that helped you grow more or the stage time because Ellen really encouraged you, like you were saying, about the banana thing, but what do you think really helped you more? Or, was it more the support of your peers?
I would say it was all me, like the only person that was going to help me overcome my stage fright and my nervousness was me and it was all in my head. I mean, I could have gone up there and had a great performance, but in my head I was thinking to nail the song vocally and I wasn’t really worried about performing. I guess I never thought that the show was so much of like a performing show as a singing competition and I had it in my head so much like I want my vocals to be so much better than everyone else’s and I guess I lost track of the fact that it was like a television show.
How often would you perform in the past and what would be the situation? Where would you be performing and how many people?
Before American Idol (TV) I had performed at a few coffee shops. The most people that ever showed up was probably like 40 people and most of the people there were my friends and my family. So, I don’t have any experience singing in front of people that I don’t know, so that was like the main problem for me. But I feel like if I had more experience like the sky’s the limit for me.
Had you continued on the show do you think that the stylists would have tried to force you to get rid of your mullet?
The stylists had already asked me if I wanted to cut it and even if they did tell me; yes, they probably would want me to cut it, but I wouldn’t let them ever cut my mullet.
Do you know what kind of artist you want to be and what kind of music you want to make?
I know exactly what kind of artist I want to be. I really would like to do a bunch of acoustic stuff, but I would also like to be on some R&B tracks and like a whole bunch of different stuff. I know my voice and I know what I can and can’t do and I know what would sound good on what. I believe that I could sound good on just one genre of music. I could put it on anything.
Closing Remarks.
This isn’t the last of me at all. This is just the beginning.
