American Idol Amanda Overmyer Exit Interviews Amanda Overmyer American Idol

Amanda Overmyer was voted off American Idol on March 19, 2008. The Rocker Nurse gave her exit interviews and E.Online and MTV were there for the questions. Here is an out take of those interviews:

Q: What were you thinking when you found out you were in the bottom three?

A: That more than likely I would be done.

Q: Really? Because most people thought Kristy Lee Cook would be going home.

A: I just know how different I am and know that I target a certain audience, a different audience.

Q: Were you upset about the way things ended?

A: I just got voted off a TV show. I was just happy to be there and felt privileged to have millions of Americans vote for me just to keep me on until [the top] 11. With someone like me who’s completely different from — you know I’m cut out of a different mold [from] everyone else in the competition — I found that very, very warming that I had that much support.

Why do you think the judges were so obsessed with you smiling? What was up with Simon saying ”It’s okay to smile” to you?
That particular day I had caught the bug that everyone else had already. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to sound like, ”Oh, woe is me. I am sick.” Now that I’m off the show, I can tell you I just didn’t feel good and wanted to get off the stage as quick as I could.

Do you think that little spat you had with Simon on Tuesday night when he scolded you that ”you haven’t sold any tickets yet” hurt you?
I was just being honest with him. With Simon, the only thing with him is he’s a male and men have huge egos and pride and they gotta have the last word, but he didn’t get the last word. I did. I didn’t consider that an argument. I was just being honest when I said it’s fine if I’m selling 50 tickets in a bar in Lafayette.

Q: Was there any pressure from the “Idol” stylists to change your look?

A: Not at all. I was kind of able to just do my own thing. That made it really nice. That was something I was kind of nervous about — that it would be a fight — but they were really good to me.

Q: Are you familiar with Vote for the Worst?

A: I heard that I was their girl. [Laughs.]

Q: Did you take that personally?

A: No, it didn’t personally hurt me at all. Votes are votes, you know? From what I hear, they weren’t too harsh on me. [Laughs.] I think a chunk of them liked me for real.

Q: What’s next?

A: I have no experience in this industry, and I’m completely as green as they come. So I’m not going to venture to say, “This is what I’m going to do,” because I don’t know what the best way to go about doing it is, so I got to ask some people, but it will definitely be in another rock genre. I definitely want to get out, tour and do the big biker rallies, but how to get there is what I need to be educated on.
