The fact of the matter is, I don't know where I actually fell in the voting, maybe it was. All those things could have been factors.
In terms of the voting, I can't blame it all on what people like to say - homophobia or racism or whatever it may be - I hadn't had my strongest performances. Do you think any part of that has to do with you being so visibly queer and the demographic of the voters? The judges never faltered in their confidence in me, which I greatly appreciate, they believed in me the entire way through and that's why I made it to the top 10, because they believed in me. And that did seem to change as the show went live. I saw it coming, but I wanted to make sure I enjoyed myself and represented myself and my community as best as I could during my time on the show.Īt the start of the competition, you very much seemed like a favorite and it was clear the judges were responding well to you. I had not had a strong couple weeks once the live shows started: the first week I was sick and the second week I just hadn't been performing up to par. During my performance, all I could think was "I'm just going to enjoy myself, have the best time possible and make sure I enjoy every minute of being on this stage and on this platform to the absolute fullest." I honestly was expecting to go home because of the way the voting turned out last week, I already had it in my head that this probably was going to be it and there are multiple factors that went into that. I picked the song not just because I thought it would be a good song to sing, but because it relayed a good message. "Circle of Life" was a song that represented who I am, not just my journey as a person but me being representative of the LGBT community, it represented a lot fo the struggles we go through, a lot of us take this journey of self-discovery to find who we are and find our path in the world.
