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.
No question that it is a business decision.
However to give Stephano a bit of credit, the words quoted above were pretty qualified. I don't think he was claiming to be any saint or humanitarian in the matter. It looks like he says " I appreciated the Love I got from this segment of fans and I want to toss some love right back at them". The key word was "that" , implying to me "that love" .
I almost read it as him being upfront saying " I want to give all my different fans what they want to hear"
Now, if he doesn't truely have spanish speaking fan groups it is more more a load of crap. If he does actually have tons of girls writing him in spanish etc, its a pretty "legit" thing to say "hey I hear you.. this one's for you".
All in all He seems to be pretty light-hearted about teasing himself for some of his kinda cheap priorities.
I wouldn't have been surprised if he -also- said something like "Maybe the spanish songs will help me get a (air quotes) "date" with some hot latinas" and the interviewer kindly left that out of the article. --
I can't help smiling about the "ex wants sex tonight" line in the song as a "falling in my lap " windfall ... he's got the priorities of a 20 year old guy.... or, well probably even older guys.
(I hope that all came across as me trying to be a bit funny, not really taking issue)

^ LOL – I do hate to be childishly critical, but… YES, and he could just piggyback Durbin when a strong wind gets up under them ears and they'd both be off to the Star Command space station. I say dump the pink hair James and grow some wing coverage before you end up on Mars with Curiosity taking pictures of dirt.

Buzz Lightyear: [cough] Um, okay, but it won't be the same coming from me.

LOL Lovinda, how do you remember this dialogue? Another flick that I love. And I don't mind being childishly critical, like that phrase!
