Quentin Alexander is no longer a contestant on American Idol Season 14.
The talented singer advanced all the way to final six, but he heard his name called on last night's Idol episode after falling into the Bottom 2 alongside Rayvon Owen.
Considering Alexander clashed with Harry Connick Jr. last week after the judge interpreted the singer's comments to be a sign of disrespect to the show, it was only natural for reporters to wonder:
Did Quentin regret that on-air argument?
Nope. He did not. Said Alexander backstage on Wednesday evening, after learning of his elimination:
"I am glad Harry reacted the way that he did to what I said because it gave me an opportunity to clarify for America, the people who were probably thinking the same thing that he was, that I wasn't at all trying to be disrespectful.
"If that had any influence on the votes and the fact that I'm going home then so be it."
Overall, it's hard to imagine any singer being more relaxed (even zen!) than Alexander so soon after an ousting.
Referring to an amazing note hit by Owen during his cover of a Fleetwood Mac classic, Alexander marveled and said:
"I don't even look at it as 'Oh, I have to be better than him' or 'I have to be better than anyone else.' The thing that I enjoy the most is how we enjoy each other's performances and how we get really hyped up over something as simple as a note."
Looking forward, meanwhile, Alexander will actually officiate Joey Cook's wedding.
Could he see the two former American Idol hopefuls working together in a professional capacity beyond that?
"Joey has got a lot of things going on right now with the wedding and her own music," Alexander replied. "I want to say definitely in the future there will at least be a song because the thing that me and Joey have to offer the world is different."
