His music education is so far beyond the normal person I think and what he has to offer to America and just in terms of learning new things about the art of singing, the art of playing, all of that.

Well, if they wanted it they would do what it takes to get there and they don't even have a 10th of a percentage of an understanding to do what it takes. These people that are auditioning for this show are so lucky to have a minute of your time whether they make it through or not because the essence of 'American Idol' is looking for a new superstar and Jennifer embodies superstar.
