The finale was really cool. I got to share the stage with someone I really respect in Archie, and we did some really cool things and now moving forward I get to tell you about what is hopefully the next phase of our relationship. It’s gonna start with these kind of videos, talking to you and trying to keep you up to date on what’s going on as we prepare for not only this ‘American Idol’ tour this summer, but hopefully a fantastic record.”
