Stefano Langone was voted off American Idol this week, but he says he’s proud of how far he got and looking forward to what’s next in his career.
In fact, he says he purposely held back on Idol because he wanted to save some of his patented special “swag” for fans to hear on his debut album.

The 21-year old Washington native shared his personal story with American Idol judges in San Francisco last night: in 2009, he survived a terrible fire, from which was doctors gave him little chance to walk or function normally again…

Inspiring stuff, to be sure, but it was Stefano’s rendition of “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” (below) that helped him advance to Hollywood. Then again, those “movie star good looks,” as J. Lo said, likely didn’t hurt.
