What is it like being the first person ever to be saved on Idol?
I can't wait to see my name on a trivia card. I feel blessed and honored. I have never felt so much love in a room before and it was a really cool feeling. I think it was probably one of the coolest moments of my life. It made me feel real special and I hope that people think that it was worth it.

Would you support bringing the save back next year?
Yes, for sure, it's a great thing. I don't think it was a waste of time at all, because it shows people that the judges can see something in someone. They didn't pick me because of my looks, they picked me because they saw something in my talent and that's a good thing
