Quote:'American Idol' Alum Stefano Langone Caters to Latino Fans With New Album
..."After you get off the show is thanks for coming see you later. Then they (former contestants) are back at home and a lot of people go into depression.”
“I turned down the ticket and I stayed in a motel for a few weeks,” Langone said. “You have to have an idea, and be driven because if not you are screwed.”
With a new album in the works set to debut in Sept., Langone said he plans to “give back” to his Latino fans as well, as he plans to have a few songs in Spanish.
“I wanted to give that back to my fans,” Langone said. “That’s part of what I bring. You want to connect. I’m all about being intimate. So much is about the music and the fans.”
“The Latino community is so supportive and has really embraced me,” Langone continued. “It has been such an honor. “To get that love is incredible.”

So was his "idea" to cater to Latinos by having a dual-language album? I don't buy that it's about giving back. I think he's business-minded and he thought he could leverage the Latino market to interest a label -- anything to get a deal and potentially make a name for himself.
