Zac
Efron's American Idol Obsession
2/21/08
High School Musical star Zac Efron has confessed to a secret passion -
he loves U.S TV show American Idol.
The teen actor loves the talent contest so much he often hides at the
back of studio shows - and watches the wannabes perform live.
He tells MTV, "I like American Idol because it deals with regular
people who really have a dream and like to perform.
"There was a period where I was actually going to the shows of
American Idol.
A few years ago, I went, like, almost every week. That was the season Taylor
Hicks won.
"It was great. It's a completely different experience live. You
really get to see who is a good singer, and who can really captivate a
crowd. And you can tell it's really influential on the judges'
decisions."
