Colbie Caillat Is Happy ‘American Idol’ Said No

Colbie Caillat tells USA Today she enjoyed watching Casey James performing her hit song ‘Bubbly’ recently on ‘American Idol’. “I thought it was cool,” the 24-year-old said. “Guys don’t normally sing that song.” Colbie added it’s always a shock to hear songs she’s written performed by other people. “There are other artists whose songs I love and people sing them on the show, and I get excited,” Colbie said. “But it’s weird to know that people know of my songs. It’s still hard for me to grasp that I am like that for other people.”

As for her own failed ‘Idol’ audition years ago, Colbie has no hard feelings. “I wasn’t ready for it at all,” she said. “I was shy. I was nervous. I didn’t look the greatest. I wasn’t ready for it yet. I was glad, when I auditioned, that they said no.”
