"I told him not to worry about me," Stefano told E! News about James storming off the American Idol stage last night. "I did everything I set out to do on this show, and it's going to pay off and I'm going to do great. I told him, 'Just keep focusing on the show and what you gotta do to keep succeeding and I'll be back in a couple weeks.' I talked him down a little bit. He's a big crybaby."
Stefano and James were roommates since Hollywood Week on American Idol, but Stefano says the "bromance" won't be stopping here.
"He's a brother to me, and I'm going to be his best man in his wedding."

"What I came out here to do, I did it. I succeeded," he explained. "I got to lucky No. 7, and it doesn't really reflect on who I am as a musician or a performer at all. It's a show. That's one thing you've got to remember, it's a show, and now it's time for me to really move forward. There's a wide open crowd and market out there right now, and I'm ready to pounce on it."
"I cannot wait to start this long and successful journey."
