I think some viewers at home wanted me to win for their own reasons because they were rooting for something and they attached a lot of social pressure onto, “What does it mean if this guy wins?” It’s not about that, guys; it’s about singing. I don’t want to be [the poster boy for some cause]. I have my own personal beliefs that I feel very strongly about. But I don’t know, at this point in my life, if this is a platform for that, I think this is more about music.
