HOLLYWOOD,CA-Sonika Vaid’s American Idol journey came to an end on Mar 24, a week after performing the Frozen song “Let it Go.” While working with Disney is at the top of Vaid’s wish list, she also wants to stick with pop if she continues to pursue music. “Disney is always a dream. That would be really awesome,” the singer said. “I just really like pop and maybe a little bit of R&B, but now that I sang rock on the show, that’s always...
an option, but pop is something I am really going to just stick to.” After two weeks of winding up in the bottom two — and being saved by the judges — Vaid was eliminated, just missing her chance at a homecoming celebration in Massachusetts. “I feel like I saw it coming because I had been in the bottom for the past two weeks,” she said.
Vaid is not sure about a summer tour.”No one has told me anything yet,” she said. “There are always surprises though.”
Another thing she is going to stick to is her studies. The Massachusetts-born artist is currently planning on transferring to the College of Holy Cross to continue the pursuit of a degree in biology.
“I definitely will at some point finish my degree,” she said. “I think for right now I am going to focus on music. This whole experience has really opened my mind up to the idea of doing this professionally.”
Vaid, the eldest of six children, was always a bit shy and “felt invisible” in school. Before Idol, she didn’t perform much outside of high school performances. “When I would sing for the high school it was very quick and I didn’t really focus on performing more,” she said. “Prior to all of this I would just sing chorus and music once a year in school.”
And although Vaid is sad to leave the show and the “amazing people” she met on her journey, she is still rooting for her friends in the top four. “All four of them really deserve to be there and they are all so talented,” she said. “I wish them the best.”
