Interviews!
Here are Jason's and David's little interviews I found.
Enjoy!
JASON CASTRO
LESLIE: What's something about you that viewers of the show didn't get to know?
CASTRO: There's a lot. But one of the things that you only know if you get close to me is that while I came across pretty easygoing, I'm a deep thinker. I read a lot. That doesn't come across.
LESLIE: Since you really are more interested in the music than the interviews and the fame, how are you doing with that?
CASTRO: (Laughs) With fame is supposed to come fortune, and we've gotten the short end of the stick on that, with the fortune part. (Smiles). I feel like I'm already further along with the fame part than I'd like. It's weird to say I feel famous, but I just wanted to make a living in (music), to be comfortable.
LESLIE: Too late. You're famous.
DAVID COOK
LESLIE: As a "rocker" who was a little older and more established as a performer than some of the other contestants, you, like Chris Daughtry, got labeled by some people as a sellout (He nods, rolls his eyes). It's not me saying it. It's that some people don't appreciate, as a lot of musicians have told me, how different the business is. They say you have to use what you've got.
COOK: There are some people still stuck in the Dark Ages. The thing that's both scary and exciting is that there's no formula anymore. American Idol, as successful as it is...look at the track record. Some of the winners have become amazingly successful, and some have had to take a different track with their careers. It's just a starting point.
LESLIE: You impress me as sort of a perfectionist.
COOK: (Smiles) Absolutely. I have seen enough of the (seventh season of American Idol) to know that for my own sanity, I shouldn't watch it. I'd be like "Why did I let them do my hair like that? Why did I sing that?" I know that nobody's perfect. But I'd be interested in doing something perfect and saying "See?"
