At the "American Idol" season 7 finale, Jason sang "Hallelujah" as a solo. (edit) Jason has a tiger ring that makes him embrace the power and beauty into his performance. (edit) Jason's most memorable moment on the "American Idol" stage was when he sang "Hallelujah". (edit) Jason would like to perform at the "House of Blues" in Texas. (edit) If Jason had 24 hours to do whatever he wanted, he would go to the beach with the person he loved, whom he hasn't met yet. (edit)

Jason: (on how he felt about being famous) It's kind of a weird thing. I don't really get it. I've never been a guy who has been starstruck, so it takes me off guard when people go so crazy but, I mean, it's cool. It means they like you, so it's flattering. (edit) Jason: (on if he knew that he drove the Jeff Buckley version of "Hallelujah" to #1 on iTunes) I couldn't believe that. I realized the amount of power 'American Idol' has. It was such an honor and if people haven't heard that song, they should have and I'm glad now they have. (edit) Jason: (on if he thinks winning is important on "American Idol") It very much matters who wins or at least how far you get, because every week you are on gives you that much more of a chance. You are never guaranteed anything in this business but I think we've all been given the opportunity to have some exposure. Now people know who you are and maybe take a second to listen. (edit) Jason: (on what he felt about Simon's comments that he wasn't the same Jason during the later part of the competition as he was when he started) I was feeling the same thing. I was feeling me losing that power because I couldn't connect with the songs in the given time. I really had a hard time when we kicked it up to two songs. I just wasn't committing to either one. I couldn't connect with them, I couldn't fall in love with it -- you need time for that. (edit) Jason: (on how he felt about being so closely analyzed during his time on "American Idol") I always remember watching the news and watching every move that [presidential candidates] make, so it really doesn't come as a surprise. When you are deciding who to vote for, it's natural to observe everything that they do. (edit)
