Performing on Idol was fun and singing with Queen on the finale was an honour. Getting on the cover of Rolling Stone, getting a record deal, releasing the album – they’ve all been unbelievable.
You’ve had to justify your sexuality in American press interviews since Idol. Does it irritate you?
A bit. It’s not a big deal for me and I don’t understand why it seems to be so significant for other people. There are benefits to being visible, not that many artists are openly gay, but there’s also a responsibility that’s been projected on to me.
Do you think attitudes are different in Britain?
America’s a lot more conservative, for sure. I don’t think my sexuality will be such an issue internationally.
