Being the opening act is really the best possible scenario for me, ... I've been with my band for 15 years and now I get the best of both worlds.

I know that if I win, I'm going to have to deal with people who're not going to accept me.

INXS has been around for a long time.

For me, that is my ... greatest accomplishment ... getting an original song to break through and connect with people, ... And I am really, really proud of that.

My concern going into this was that my music is a little different than their music. J.D. seems like he's in the same style, ... I totally respect INXS' decision, it is their band and they've given me so much.

I can't say I wasn't disappointed not to get the gig, it's what I came here to do, but it seemed like it was meant to be.

I'm being told how much this has changed my life, but I haven't stepped outside into the civilian world for weeks, ... My family doesn't treat me any different, but a lot of people ask me for autographs. That is completely different for me, but I'm a lead singer, I love attention.
