Catching up with Amanda Overmyer
Amanda Overmyer wasn’t crushed by her elimination from American Idol last Wednesday, she’s taking it in stride.
“(Being cut from Idol) wasn’t the most traumatic thing that’s happened in my life,” she told People magazine.
“I was thankful to be there and privileged to have millions of Americans vote for me just to keep me on (that long)… I’m cut out of a different mould of everyone else on the competition; I found that very warming that I had that much support.”
As for what’s next, Overmyer will see what happens.
“I’m a very ambitious and driven person by nature and I’m going to take calculated risks to achieve success, but… success to me is a strong healthy family and success in whatever job you do and I wouldn’t have it in me if this is just 15 minutes of fame.“
