I’m not the kind of person who would really vote for someone on this show.

I think that as far as the save goes, it really speaks to your work ethic, and your professionalism and what they see of you, not just on the stage in that little minute 30 that America really sees,–the judges get to see a bit more of us, and how your reputation is around the set and whatnot, and around the crew. I think it just speaks to who you are as a professional for them to take that chance to save you, to say to America, ‘Think about this again, this person has really shown us to be a professional and to be somebody worth taking a look at.

When Ryan said Casey was safe, did you know you were going home?The way the season has gone and who votes on the show, I always felt like I could be the odd man out regardless. My audience is not the one that votes on the show. What do you mean? Who’s your audience?Just older folks and families. I met so many people out who are like, “Oh, Big Mike! We love you! You’re the best!” and I’m like, “Are you voting?” And they’re like, “No.” And yeah, then you’re missing the point of the show and the competition. But I understand. I’m not the kind of person who would really vote for someone on this show. It’s just the way it is. So you think other people had more young girls who can text a vote 3,000 times a minute?Yeah. Those people are not necessarily my audience. It looked like you had one little girl in your corner: your adorable daughter. Any regrets about missing her birth?It was a tough moment. I don’t know about regrets. You can’t really live your life like that. Do I wish I had never missed it? Of course. But I feel like I needed to win for my own spirit to make up for some of it. Do I feel like I came up short? Of course. But I don’t feel like I disappointed anyone. I came out strong every week. I prided myself on my preparation being good.Let’s discuss you picking everyone up, from Ryan Seacrest to Alicia Keys to Crystal Bowersox. What’s up with that?I’ve always lifted people up. It’s just fun. I love to give big hugs. Who doesn’t like big hugs? A lot of people aren’t as tall as me so it’s easier on my back if I just lift them up to my level.Did you ever hear from Maxwell or Kate Bush about “This Woman’s Work”?No, never heard from anyone. But our bubble is tight on the show. I’m hoping to perform with one of them in the finale.Kate Bush?? On Idol? He really does live in a bubble, doesn't he.

He picks people up because he finds it fun. He loves to do it. He thinks it's easier. What's missing? How about the person getting lifted? Aren't there two viewpoints in this story? Do full grown adults like to have other adults pick them up? He doesn't say. It's all me, me, me.Let's be clear. He lifts people to physically dominate them. He only picks on defenseless small guys like Aaron and the women folk. He doesn't do it with guys like Casey or Lee who could, or have, told him to back off. I suspect that even Andrew, as small as he is, could back Mike off. Guys like Fat Mike are often insecure sissies who constantly need to reassure themselves by being around smaller weaker people and physically dominate them. That's the reason for the unusual behavior. He is unmanly and likes to bully smaller people. Like he says, "it's just fun."

(2) When asked during the Twitter session, who he felt was eliminated too soon from the competition, he said "myself." (When previous Idol guests were asked this question, both Aaron Kelly and Tim Urban said "Alex Lambert.")(3) When asked who he thought would win Season 9, he once again said "myself," instead of one of 3 remaining contestants.(4) He left immediately after the Tweet session, but not before he waltzed into the kitchen, raided the refrigerator, and helped himself to a beer before he left.
