Believe it or not, I reluctantly agreed to be interviewed by (myself) about Scott. The following took place between 12pm & 1pm.
How come I did not hear the metal pounding? (I was referring to the music of that tv show 24.)
(laughing) I guess you noticed that one, huh?
Do you feel like answering a couple of questions?
Well that depends. What do you have in mind?
You should know, cuz you're me!
Ok...ok, enough of the small talk & let's get down to business. (sigh)
My first question is, why do you "Idolize" Scott?
Funny you should ask. I looked up the word "Idolize" in the Webster's Dictionary. It means, "to worship as a god & 2nd definition is, "to love & admire to excess."
You mean "Idolize" like a Greek god?
I knew you'd bring that one up!
Sorry about that, I should've known better. But going back to my question, you really haven't answered it.
Well, I think the media frenzy about AI is phenomenal & it got me into watching season 4 from the beginning til the end. I didn't start voting until it got down to the final 12 but he has been my favorite from the start.
But why?
It's a fact, people do love & admire Scott to excess & it comes from the heart. I just feel very proud & happy for him.
Well, let's play a word association game, you ready? American Idol.
Hey, that's 2 words.
Just shut up & go with the flow, will you?
Whatever! I can end this interview now, you know!
I'm sorry, ok, let's start again. American Idol.
Gimmick.
Scott.
MY IDOL!!!
Simon.
Mad Cow...ell! (laughing)
Paula.
D'Clapper!
I like that one! Randy.
Dawg.
Dawg.
Lunch.
Lunch? That's interesting?
Yeah, it's my freaking lunch break, how about buying me some hotdog!
Oh, forget about the word association game & let's go back to Scott. You met him at the LA concert last August 2005. What was it like?
You tell me, cuz you were there too!
Do you mind, I'll ask the questions here.
(long silence) Well, he's soft spoken, polite, a true gentleman from the Midwest. He has the nicest complexion, great smile & THE BEST HUGGER OF ALL! He makes you feel special.
Do you think a lot of anti-Scott turned around after getting to know him?
That's a 100% fact. He's very likeable in person. AI sent the wrong image to the viewers that he's anti-social or difficult as what was portrayed during the Hollywood group audition.
Who do you think is Scott's inspiration?
His son, his family & his faith.
How long will you continue doing this site for him?
As long as he doesn't tell me to stop, then I'll just keep on going. I enjoy doing this, it's very therapeutic.
Tell me about the Kris Kringle you had in the Dawgpound.
I never have any idea who picked my name or number until I got a call one night from Mamma Savol & Scott.
Didn't you mistook him for a plumber? What's that about?
(laughing) We were expecting our plumber to come that night after canceling or not showing up for 3 consecutive days. When the phone rang I told Peter that it must be Preston calling to tell us he's on his way.
What was your reaction when you found out that Scott was your Secret Santa?
I was speechless...excited...I felt like screaming but didn't want to scare him off. (laughing)
If you have any advice to give to Scott, what would you say to him?
Scott, keep on making music, cuz you were born to sing to the world! Let your voice be heard. Never forget your humble beginnings. Always stay close to your love ones. Invest your money wisely. Stay healthy. And always believe in the power of your dreams!
Awe, that was so touching! (wiping my tears away)...I guess I have enough materials here. Thank you for your time.
I had a great time too! By the way, thank you for buying me lunch.
Anytime!
Well, I'll see you when I get home then!
You bet!
Bye!
