By Jamie RubyLast week the top 10 contestants competed to become the next "American Idol," and one was sent home. Curtis Finch, Jr. of St. Louis, Missouri received the least amount of votes and was eliminated from the competition on Thursday. Finch, who talked to the digital media on Friday about his journey, will be part of the
American Idol tour this summer.
Finch talked to SciFi Vision about why he chose
American Idol to audition for. "
American Idol is the show of all shows. It searches around the world for talent all across the world and so people really get a chance to be discovered. And so without
American Idol, there would not be
The Sing-Off or
The Voice or these other shows that people in my opinion. You know, there always has to be an example of something. There always has to be a soundboard for somebody to learn something off of and so
American Idol is that. It's the original. It's the best, the number one show. I love it."
The singer also discussed what kind of album he will make. "I see myself being a very inspirational type singer just talking about love, just talking about how you can overcome and how you can make it, and so I don't really know what it entails at this moment, but I just know that I really live to inspire everybody across America."
