Michael Slezak, TVLine.com's resident American Idol expert, returns for another Idology exit interview, featuring Season 12 seventh-place finisher Burnell Taylor.

In this interview, Burnell discusses the back-and-forth decision over his audition song, as well as other topics including the trainwreck trio performance with Devin Velez and Lazaro Arbos, and his trouble with rock week. In addition, he discusses some other singing competitions he's auditioned for, while also responding to criticism that he didn't know The Beatles. In my opinion, it's the best exit interview yet. Burnell just comes across like a really cool, down-to-Earth kid, and he makes some good points about American Idol itself.
