• Matt Giraud: "This has been so much more fun than performing on the (TV) show because you're not under as much scrutiny."

Giraud, 24, adds that being on "Idol" already has helped with a new venture. He is the host of an online singing competition at Yobi.tv.

"Contestants submit videos, and I'm the Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell of the whole show!" He's also doing some songwriting and booking gigs once the tour ends.

On Michael Jackson's death: "There was a hole in my heart. His band was rehearsing across the hall from us, and I know they were just as excited about their upcoming tour. I'm grateful I got to perform 'Human Nature' on the show."

On the judges: "Kara is a very smart lady who added a lot this season. And it didn't hurt that she was a big supporter of me!"

Really, Matt? I don't think anyone noticed that Kara liked you. It's not like she told you 'there ain't nothing small about you'! LOL
