“I am going to record my album that I have recorded previously but I’m not going to do it on my iPhone,” said the ebullient singer during her backstage exit interview. “I’m going to go into a real studio, with headphones and everything. The real deal. I’m stoked!”
Cook’s American Idol journey has been a fruitful one, as she’s been able to introduce millions to her unique musical stylings and persona:
“It’s validation . . . I’ve been told ‘no’ my whole life. I’ve been told to be normal and stop acting weird and fit in my whole life and this worked . . . I showed so many little kids out there that this okay to do, and it’s okay to be a little bit out there. That in itself is just so beautiful.”
