Drew Stevyns - America's Got Talent

I interviewed Drew Stevyns from America's Got Talent this morning. Since I'm part of the "media" now, I thought I'd give it a try.

One of the shows' most memorable moments was when David Hasselhoff said that he was "turned on" by Drew's performance of "Careless Whisper" last Tuesday. Drew said: "If that's the only thing I do in this competition, my job is done. I'm glad I can help him out."

Incidentally, Drew did a "cover of cover" -- he did the Seether version of "Careless Whisper" -- similar to what David Cook did on American Idol. David Hasselhoff also mentioned that Drew reminded him of Daughtry. I asked Drew about these comparisons and he said: "It's all a throwback to the 90's. I'm sure, listening to them they grew up listening to Nirvana, Alice in Chains, the same way I did. I think we all grew up listening to the same type of music and singing the same way."

He said that after the show, he plans to: "cut and album, get in front of a great band, and hit the road."

Drew has a YouTube account with some original music, but he doesn't have Twitter yet.

Finally, when I asked about his romantic status, he said he was single, but the ladies might have "competition with David Hasselhoff." Haha.

I thought the interview went well, except that I realized later on that I was on a conference call with the other finalists from the show like Kevin Skinner and Barbara Padilla. I was told last night that I was only going to talk to Drew so I only prepared questions for him. Oh well, credit it to experience -- which is what I wanted to do in the first place.
