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)."
