DeAndre Brackensick on His 'Idol' Elimination, Famous Curls, and More

en you please yourself, everything comes together. You feel comfortable and people love it when you do what you want. The judges voted me in because they loved me, so why would I change myself if that's not what I even got in there for the first place?"

On those famous curls.
"It's natural. I use a little leave-in conditioner, but it’s natural even without stuff in it."

On his musical ambitions.
"I want to be an old school R&B artist. I want to bring that back because I think music is really lacking that. I want to bring back instruments because people don’t really use them as much now. Everything’s computers. I just want people to know that there’s other things out there, too."

On his falsetto.
"I think why I got kicked off is because my voice and my style is not popular nowadays. I’m trying to bring back something. It’s something that got lost and unappreciated in this new generation."

Did DeAndre Deserve to Go Home? Vote!

On what's next for DeAndre.
"Tour, number one. Then, hopefully getting a record deal out of this. Whatever comes my way, I’m trying to grab it as much as I can — whether it be modeling, acting, anything! I just want to keep working. I want to be exhausted the day I die."
