Andrew Garcia was celebrating making it into “American Idol’s” Top 12 last night in Los Angeles, but the spectacled singer is planning another big night in the near future – the one where he will propose to his ladylove.
“I am [going to marry her],” Andrew told AccessHollywood.com’s Laura Saltman on Thursday of his girlfriend Christine. “I love her so much.”
Andrew, who has a son with Christine, said he plans to really go big when he proposes.
“A bomb! A big ol’ rock,” Andrew said.
“How are you going to propose?” Laura asked the blushing gent.
“I’m still thinking about it ‘cause I don’t want to just be like, ‘Marry me!’” Andrew replied. “I want to do something — something big.”
When asked if he’d consider proposing on national television, should he win “Idol,” Andrew got a glint in his eye.
“Oh my God!” he said. “I’m going to do it.”
“We have to shake on it,” Laura said.
“I will do it!” he smiled adding that he has to get the rock first.
In the meantime, Andrew will continue rocking out on television to songs he believes are good choices, even if the judges don’t agree.
“I love what I did with that song – Christina Aguilera’s ‘Genie In [A] Bottle,’” Andrew told Laura referring to the song he performed on Wednesday, a choice panned by most of the panel.
“They got to get over it, that’s all I got to tell them,” Andrew said, referring to the judges comments that it didn’t live up to his Paula Abdul “Straight Up” rendition from earlier in the season. “I don’t want them to be mad at me I mean. I still love… what they have to say about it, but get over it.”
But the singer also admitted her can’t get enough of comments these days, telling Laura he has Googled himself since he joined the show.
“Yes. Me and my friend Lee [Dewyze]… We always Google ourselves,” Andrew laughed. “We just are like, ‘Oh my God! People are saying… But I don’t even care… I’m just like, ‘Id rather them talk about me than not talk about me.’”
