Idol’s Aaron: “I needed to believe more”
May 6, 2010
It’s been widely reported that American Idol’s ratings are down this season, but there were still 32 million votes cast after Tuesday’s performance show — just not enough to keep Aaron Kelly in the competition. “I think the judges wanted to see a little charisma. I got my confidence up, but I needed to believe a little bit more. I felt the more I went into the competition, the more gained,” says Aaron, whose rendition of “Fly Me to the Moon” earned some positive response from the judges and from this week’s mentor, Harry Connick Jr. Aaron was so impressed that he thinks Harry would be a great replacement for exiting judge Simon Cowell. “He’s very honest and would fit the bill perfectly,” Aaron said after the show.
And even though he’s going home, the 17-year-old is still feeling lucky. “I got a chance to meet Rascal Flatts and take a picture with them,” beamed Aaron. “That was one of the highlights, getting to meet someone that inspired me so much. They thanked me for doing their music on the show, and it was an honor to do it. I look up to them so much.”
Next week, the remaining four contestants perform movie-themed songs under the guidance of returning mentor Jamie Foxx.
