AMERICAN IDOL’s Andrew Garcia Loves His Fellow Finalists, is Thankful For Pete Wentz

As AMERICAN IDOL season 9 contestant Andrew Garcia tells it, AI is all about the love.

Sure, AI isn’t a reality show where participants go looking for love — because clearly that works out so well — but they apparently find it in the relationships they form with each other.

If you peeped our video of the Top 10 singing Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” last week, you may have noticed Garcia dancing with this season’s winner, Lee DeWyze — the two were doing a move that Garcia says they might duplicate on tour — and yeah, it seemed quite clear that these kids (gasp) actually get along.

But there are other perks from Andrew’s run on the show.

Fans of IDOL know that he didn’t necessarily have the easiest time of it, but taking chances with songs did pay off in an unexpected way for him… in the form of praise from FALL OUT BOY’s Pete Wentz.

How did that all happen? Garcia gives us the scoop…
