Kady Malloy 'American Idol' Interview
Are you happy with the songs you chose?
The first song I did, 'Groovy Kind of Love,' I actually did because someone else was doing my first song choice. I had to pick a new song and I picked [it] because my mom used to sing it to me when I was little. [I chose] the Queen song this week, because I knew that even if I was going out I would go out doing my favorite song <i>ever.</i>
How did you feel about <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/simon-cowell/329871' target='_blank'><FONT COLOR='#2864B4'>Simon's</font></a> comments on your personality?
You know, I never really understood what he was saying [laughs]. Maybe one day I'll understand but I still don't really get it. I just felt like I couldn't please Simon no matter what. I did my best and I think I did well and I went out with a bang like I wanted to.
What did you think about getting criticized for already having recorded an album?
I just don't think that that's very important because this industry's so unpredictable and anybody can fail at an album. These days anybody can pretty much get a record deal, so a second chance is fine.
The judges seem to have already crowned <A href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/david-archuleta/564981' target='_blank'><FONT COLOR='#2864B4'>David Archuleta</font></a> as the winner. What do you think?
I think that everybody in the Top 12 is just so talented in their own way. It's kind of an equal playing field now. I think everybody's a dark horse.
What will you do next?
I definitely want to open up an animal shelter and I'm definitely going to keep working on my music. I eventually also want to open up a camp for kids and I definitely want to be a spokesperson for gay rights. My best friend is gay, Freddie Mercury was gay, who is my idol. I just think that you shouldn't define somebody by their sexuality. And I think that gay people not being able to get married ... it's just like history repeating itself.
Any word from <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/britney-spears/301848' target='_blank'><FONT COLOR='#2864B4'>Britney Spears</font></a> about your impersonation of her?
No word from Britney. I'm still waiting for her to call me about lunch [laughs]. I love Britney and I'm a big fan of her and it's kinda cool that I can sing like her.
