I totally forgot..., ...that Stefano's audition had a sob story. Options

[AJfanBelle]

I was just randomly rewatching it and I'd totally forgotten about that.

I guess Idol deserves props for not pimping out the sob stories this year.

[Believe]

Yeah, I like that the producers are not into sob stories anymore.

Funny Story: I remember watching Stefano's audition and going ''Psst...he's not that good, and his story is not that interesting...he's ok...''
And when I became a fan after I need you now, I'm like ''Wait, let me watch his audition'' and they I see him and I'm like ''Oh...he's that guy I didn't like''

I loved him from his audition.

You know I just watched it the other day, it's so sad too, I mean he almost died! I didn't remember either. Well the talent is so good this year, they don't need to keep bringing these things up for votes. Obviously that doesn't sell records anyways. Some of the changes this year are so great.

Best change: Twitter.

I like that! Makes me feel more connected to them. Must be hard for them though, to have people criticizing you all the time, but it'd be good to get feedback and song ideas and such. Then if you feel crappy you can just look at twitter and have a bunch of girls saying nice things about you

[Shmegz]

Yes. It's a nice way for them to be connected to their fans when they want to. I feel like I know Stefano's whole schedule. And I love that I know he's looking when I tweet him, even if he doesn't respond he sees a lot because he's noted things like in his head. (For example: Two days before the shirtless picture me and a few girls were telling him like nonstop about how we wanted a shirtless picture..in a classy way of course ) And then like 20 minutes later he tweeted so he had to have seen that you know? It's funny how he's like always creeping in the background, at least I've noticed that with me and a few people I talk to on there bc he's following us. But it just proves you never know when he might be looking. The sneaky devil.

I think some people don't realize people actually look at their twitters. Sure, maybe not every single tweet, but they do see it! It's hilarious, Blake Lewis used to put people in their place, when they'd say rude things to him and they'd be so shocked he was reading it, then they'd be all nice it was so funny.

I can't believe he posted that picture lmao. but I am grateful LOL! I always wonder do they realize they are tweeting to like 54,000 people that they are going to take a shower?

[Shmegz]

I know! I think Stefano sometimes forgets how many people are judging his tweets. In all honesty it's good because he should be himself and say whatever he wants to say! But sometimes he gets so cozy and comfortable with talking to his fans that he forgets how many people are really following him. I don't mind though

I still remember his audition. My mom was having a purse party and we had Idol on in the background (although I was trying desperately to watch it the whole night ) and then he came up on the screen and I was like, "Well hello beautiful" and I told everyone to shut up so I could find out if he was good or not. Sure enough...

[Shmegz]

Awwwww

[ROCIOv]

yeah, I remember when he talked about the accident and said the first thing he remembers is the fire fighter screaming: "He's alive! He’s alive!".. in that moment I thought: "Oh my god, it must have been terrible!" you know? like, they were thinking he was died! OMG! horrible. and then I heard him sing and I loved it. really. I loved the song and his voice is perfect to that kind of music. and obviously I loved his looks too, not gonna lie. and when he was with his family saying he was going "to hollywood", and his mom said "to American Idol" and he was like: "ooh, come on, mom!" too cute.

I re-watched it and he says a quote that really touched me, how he says it: “Living through that and being in a wheelchair and not being able to play my piano, that just makes you so much hungrier and that flame in you that says “I want this”, it burns more than anything.”

I remember seeing the accident on the news. They said there was a possibly fatal accident caused by a drunk driver and the victim was in critical condition and all that. How the medics didn't know if they were going to make it and I remember thinking how scary that must be to be that person that could be dying. If only I would've known it was Stefano.

I can't imagine that, that sounds scary...

I know. I mean they show things like that all the time because it's the news. But this was right by my house so not knowing if I knew the person or not. Turns out I kind of did.
