Did you have any idea that you'd be eliminated that night?
I knew the night of the show that I would be in the bottom three. I just knew it. [I] got a feeling from what the judges said and just the way the night went. But it gave me a little bit of a reality check and let me know what's up with American viewers and let me know what I need to do to step up my game.

If you had it to do again, would you sing "Jolene," again?
I did consider doing a Carrie Underwood song, but there were already two other people who sang Carrie Underwood, so I felt that it would be too much in one night. I went with "Jolene" because that was a really beautiful song. I loved the lyrics.
