You mentioned that your daughter loves the show, but wants you to come home. How does your family play into your Idol life?
[McKenna's] excited about seeing her daddy on TV, but the one thing that a three and a half year old little girl understands is that I'm not home. Right now that's what I'm going to focus on is getting home and making sure that she knows I love her. And we know that later on in life when she's a little older she'll fully understand, but I do know that she was absolutely excited to see me every day and I hear she replayed the DVR quite a bit all the time.

Will you bring your family on tour?
I'm sure they won't be there the whole time, but I do plan to involve them a great deal.
