They say old habits die hard, and nobody knows that more than recently eliminated "American Idol" contestant Stefano Langone. His time on "Idol" was plagued by a pesky penchant for singing with his eyes closed, which prevented viewers from connecting with his emotional performances.
"When Jimmy Iovine told me, 'You gotta be sexy,' I'm sitting there like, 'Why haven't I been sexy on the show yet?' " Stefano told MTV News on Monday (April 25).
So when it came time to sing Ne-Yo's "Closer," Stefano knew he'd crash and burn without upping the flirt factor.
Luckily, Langone had a secret weapon during rehearsals that ultimately helped him perfect his sizzling open-eyes smolder: estrogen. Vocal coach Debra Byrd whipped Stefano into shape thanks to what she called her "estrogen meter."
"If [Byrd's] estrogen meter was high enough, then I passed. If it wasn't, [she'd say] 'No, that wasn't right. The estrogen meter was saying that was lower. You need to go higher. We need more on that line.' So it works out," Langone laughed. But don't expect to see Stefano's lady-killer side in real life.
"Women for me right now — before, maybe not, but right now, it's definitely second to all the music stuff and my family," Langone said, adding, "I'm on a mission right now, man. And ain't nothin' gettin' in the way of my mission."
