In an interview after the American Idol Top 8 results on Thursday, finalist Sam Woolf was obviously a bit shell-shocked by what happened on the show. After coming in last in the votes, Sam had to sing for his life in hope of being saved by the American Idol judges. Facing that big moment of truth was truly an “oh my god” moment for Sam.
“I was just like Holy sh… crap man, this is like real. I honestly was like oh my god. I don’t know, it was crazy,” Sam said in the interview from Synergistic Productions. “I feel weird right now that just happened.
Sam said that he was confident in his performance on American Idol 2014 this week, but ended up on the bottom just shows him that “anything can happen.” He thought everyone had “killer performances” this week, so it was really hard to pick who would get voted off by the viewers.
“I don’t really try to hope for things. You just kind of see what happens, you kind of let it be,” Sam said. “This definitely like hit me and I definitely have to step it up. I know what I have to do now. I have to connect, and let loose, and just sing.”
Sam thanked his fans “for all your support” and said he is “very happy” to have the chance to sing again next week!
As a fellow Interlochen Alum… I believe Sam has an incredible talent and such a pure voice. I love his original works and his takes on light alternative songs. He does need to come out of his shell and light up that stage, but no matter what, I think he has a BIG future in the music industry.
I agree. He has a pure voice and needn’t resort to screaming or screeching [looking at you Jena and Malaya] to deliver a melody. Go Sam.
Sam is a good singer, but he need experience or something to make him an entertainer. He isn’t the American Idol yet. Hopefully this shock will make him come out of his shell more. Alex is the same. He’s amazing but just hasn’t given the big, memorable performance yet. Whatever, Sam looks absolutely manic in that horrible picture above! I happen to like Jena’s voice. She reminds me of a cross between Annie Wilson and Haley Williams. Caleb needs to be knocked off his pedistal a bit. He’s gotten a little too cocky. I wish we could get another season like 5 or 8 again.
Not gonna happen. This show jumped the shark a long time ago. It is truly painful to watch. All of the singers this year are awful, and not one good performer/entertainer. What a disgrace to pay these judges all this money, when they must know how terrible these singers that they chose really are. Pathetic.
