Constantine Spouts Off On Kelly’s ‘Idol’ Disloyalty

OK! magazine caught up with ‘American Idol’ finalist Constantine Maroulis and asked if he plans on distancing himself from ‘Idol’ like season one winner Kelly Clarkson. “No. Everybody knows that’s what gave her the opportunity for the country to see her,” he said. “Without ‘Idol’, she could still be waiting tables. She’s extremely talented and a big star, but I don’t think we can ever forget where we came from. That’s like if I were to turn my back on theater, saying, ‘I’m agove that now.’ That’s not something I’d want to project, because that’s what first appealed to my fans.”
