My first Vlog after being cut from American Idol season 9

[MissLisa1970]

American Idol is played out! It's a dying show & it hasn't been worth a shite since season 8. For example? You not making it to AT LEAST the top 10 of season 9! What is Lee DeWyze doing now-a-days? He's been cut from his RCA label. You're WAY better than Lee. Then there's season 10 with the winner Scotty McCreery, again you're WAY better. So not making it is perhaps the best thing to happen to you. Only 2 winners have made a successful career-Clarkson & Underwood, so you're definitely better off

@MissLisa1970 Thanks. I really appreciate the support! I agree with you 100% about AI. I'm definitely working hard and trying to make it on my own. Got a lot in the works... so stay tuned! =)

I don't think you should worry about being cut from "Idol". I live in Germany and the whole process is degrading for a true artist such as yourself. I sent you a friendship request on Facebook. I also want to say that you have an awesome talent and you were probably rejected from "Idol" because you are already a developed artist and they want to create a persona for their selections. You are too seasoned and professional for them. The fact that they don't want you is a blessing...believe me!

[AlexNesterMusic]

@bwilli5850 Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words. Looking back at this video, I realize how much my attitude towards the whole thing has changed. I did have fun and I made a bunch of friends and in all honesty, I should thank Idol for bringing some new fans my way! Lol! But It's definitely not the way I would have wanted to be discovered. Again, I appreciate everything you said! It made my day!!! =)

[Godismyreward]

You should have never been rejected but you are so classy and handle it well. KEEP SINGING!! I am a new BIG fan!!

[chuckyshutt]

Alex Nester is the most talented and gifted singer/sonwriter/performer ever! LOTS OF LOVE FOR YOU,ALEX!

[andreinaarios]

If u go again so will I. =) I went 2 the LA auditions and didn't even make it past the first round. =( O well.

[tonggit014]

you are so great!~

Alex you are an impressive young lady! I THINK that I happened by at the Simi Valley mall when you were singing...Your story is inspirational, shocked we didnt see your talent on AI (my little girls are addicts). Speaking of, my 11 year old has Cystic Fibrosis, and our 2010 Walkathon, will be in Simi for the first time-hoping you will reply to this, and be interested in joining us and performing for our incredible volunteers and supporters.

I am suprised Idol didn't feature you somewhat! I love your voice. With or without Idol...I know you got music in you and I hope you succeed even more in your goal.

You can't go wrong,you are "unique"

[dosroberts]

With the power, talent and professionalism you show, you are beyond the what they pump out on Idol. I look forward to seeing you make it on your own!

You'd have made it far with American Idol, but you'll make it far without it as well...you're so gifted and so genuine that it doesn't matter which way you went about it! Keep up the awesome work and we will all be right there to support you!
