Was Camile Velasco the best contestant
from her group on "American Idol"
this week? |
"Yeah, I think she was definitely my favorite. I don't know if I'm biased because I'm from Maui (too), but I thought she was really good. She's really cute and she has a great personality." |
"I think so. I think she was holding back and she could be better, but she was the best (of the group)." |
"From her group, I think she was the best. She's (being) compared to a younger Lauryn Hill - that's a great compliment." |
Do you think Hawaii residents would
still support a local contestant on the
show if they had absolutely no talent? |
"Oh yeah. People from Hawaii are just, like, all about other people from Hawaii." |
"They probably would support, actually. Just because. I think I wouldn't vote at all." |
"Well, if they suck and they carry the Hawaiian name, I don't think they would support them. I wouldn't. That's shame." |
Would you try to grab 15 minutes
of fame if it meant embarrassing
yourself on national television
like William Hung? |
"Probably not (laughs). I don't have a huge desire to be famous. Maybe if they paid me the first time. I wouldn't wait in that line, either!" |
"No. I'd rather watch other people do that. I'm an engineering student too, so that was kind of funny (watching William Hung). But that's not me." |
"I would. That guy's cool! If I didn't know what I was doing, I would do it just for the 15 minutes (of fame)." |
