Although we only saw a snippet of Paul's initial audition, he caught our eye from the very beginning. But it was in the Vegas round when he performed the duet "Blackbird" with Kendra Chantelle that he blew us away.
Since making the Top 24, Paul has proven that you can have a very unique style and still get votes. He has a large fan base and not just because of his quirky musical style. His movie star good looks and incredible smile have charmed many fans.
We learn more about Paul from his exit interview. He says that he had a feeling about being the one that was going home this week, and he was totally at peace with it.
Paul has been touring for five years, most recently with the band Grand Magnolias. He says, “That’s where my heart and soul is… my blood sweat and tears.” He is looking forward to reuniting with them.
He was hoping that they would have an Original Songs week on American Idol and is pleased to have had the chance to perform a song he wrote earlier this season.
As far as regrets go, he notes that some of the song choices were not right for him. He will miss the “super tight knit” American Idol community. He is happy about his time on the show and had fun.
In regards to his good looks – he says he’s never had professional whitening done on his teeth; it’s just good genes. Before the show began, a friend of his from back home made the Rose Garden suits for him.
Paul confirms that he is dating Nikki Reed, the Twilight actress that he met at the Little Red Riding Hood premiere a few weeks ago. He’s impressed by the famous people he’s met since he’s been on the show.
His easy going attitude, “roots rock and roll” style and general joviality will be missed for the rest of the season. He is eager to get back to his original music and wishes the rest of the kids the best. “There are some superstars in this group.”
