Michael Becker/FOX
At least hes impressed to see who was eliminated before him!
Here, Hawk talks aboutcovering The Cure in his one and only performancebefore the judges.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You have you been watching the show live, right?
I was like, Im in good company!
I feel okay about it now.
I was more worried that they were going to be non-singers like me.
That wouldve been more of a statement like, Well, you guys arent cut out for this.
And how did your ego handle that?I told myself that they just didnt like the Cure!
Tell me about your life as a singer.Its been very little to none.
My family has experience singing.
My sister was a backup singer for Michael Bolton and John Denver.
I had a lot of help, especially from the voice coach.
Was it easy to get you to do this?
But the idea that I was anonymous was probably the thing that most spoke to me.
I felt that I could do it without having the embarrassment or being self-conscious.
The costume provides youliteralcover.
Thats all I can say.
We had a Cure song for our wedding march.
Were you nervous as hell?
How did it feel?It was just a great relief to finally get it done.
I built it up in my head of being so scary, but it was an almost cathartic experience.
I told myself I could do it.
Youre pretty sure you’re able to sing.
Lets just get it done!
I definitely practiced probably more than I should have.
You have a minute and a half to do it right.
I watched parts of it and I remember thinking when I saw the playback, that I sounded okay.
So is this the start of a grand career in reality TV?No.
This was a perfect fit because it was anonymous.
It was something Ive always wanted to try.
I have no interest in dancing.
I have no interest in being put in the jungle.
I have no interest in trying to get a job as a chef.
This was the right option.
