"I got what I wanted."
Stegano Langone, who was eliminated from American Idol on Thursday, said in a Friday interview that he never even wanted to be the American Idol. Langone says that he simply wanted to get his foot in the door of the music industry.
"When I came out for American Idol I never wanted to be the American Idol," said Langone. "It was getting my foot in the door of the music industry and taking a step forward in that way. I am so happy about my experience, so thankful for all of this and blessed.
"What I came out here to do, I did it. I succeeded. I got to lucky No. 7, and it doesn't really reflect on who I am as a musician or a performer at all. It's a show. That's one thing you've got to remember, it's a show, and now it's time for me to really move forward. There's a wide open crowd and market out there right now, and I'm ready to pounce on it."
Idol contestant James Durbin reportedly had an emotional meltdown after Langone was eliminated from the show. But Langone says that he was able to calm Durbin down.
"I told him not to worry about me," Stefano told E! Online. "I did everything I set out to do on this show and it's going to pay off and I'm going to do great. I told him, 'Just keep focusing on the show and what you gotta do to keep succeeding and I'll be back in a couple weeks.' I talked him down a little bit. He's a big crybaby."
Langone and Durbin grew close during their time on the show, to the point that Langone says he will be a part of one of Durbin's most important moments.
"He's a brother to me, and I'm going to be his best man in his wedding," said Langone.
As for his future, Langone compares himself to John Legend and Stevie Wonder and claims that he didn't even show America all that he was capable of during the show.
"I have the range of Stevie Wonder," he said. "I have that range and I have that soul, especially when I get on the piano. People haven't seen that John Legend feel. I have a lot of stuff in the bag that I haven't really shown yet. I haven't gone and done my original stuff, I haven't gotten behind the piano and shown vocally what I am capable of. I am really going to show the world not just what I can do on American Idol but in the music industry the kind of impact I can make."
