American Idol - Ferras - Hollywood's Not America

Ferras "Hollywood's Not America" is now streaming on americanidol.com: (also has an interview and photos from the video shoot)

"Because this was my first record, I decided to draw on the artists who've inspired me -- Elton John, Bowie, Queen, the Beatles -- because of the huge impact they've had on my own music," Ferras explains. "But I also wanted to make a record that's personal and tells a story, and every song is either something I've experienced, something I hope to experience or something I can really connect with. These aren't just random pop songs, they come from a real place; they explore feelings."
