"American Idol Exit interview with MTV"

Will Makar

Even though his “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)” was arguably his best performance throughout the semifinals,the 17-year-old from the Woodlands, Texas, failed to build a big enough fanbase to carry him through.

MTV: Any theories on your departure?

Makar: I think my performance didn’t really connect, and that might’ve been the problem. But vocally I really felt it, and I’m proud of myself with how far I made it. It’s a big accomplishment for me.

MTV: How do you connect on this show?

Makar: In my eyes, connection [comes from] really feeling the song. What does it mean to you? I really didn’t show that. It was upbeat and I was trying to have fun, and I did have fun, but I just didn’t feel the connection and I should have.

MTV: Rumor has it you do a mean Chewbacca. Ever consider pulling that out of your arsenal during the show?

Makar: [He growls.] Ahhhrrr! Maybe I have a future in “Star Wars.” - Corey Moss
