Sometimes, dreams do some true. In his post-elimination interview, Stefano Langone revealed that he never planned to actually win American Idol. Well, mission accomplished.

“I never really wanted to be the American Idol. It was getting that foot in the door in the music industry,” Langone explained to the press. “One thing I really wanted to save and keep close to myself was my original music and my piano playing.”

“I am going in a different direction than any other American Idol really has,” he said of his future.
