I don't think it's by any means an end to my career.
I had to focus on some personal areas in my life with the little bit of privacy that I have.
In all honesty, I'm not able to talk about contracts. It's nothing with 'American Idol' in particular, it's just things I really need to take care of in my life.
It is a reality show... this show is never without drama.
It's just things you need to take care of in life. I will always be singing. This won't be the last you hear of Mario Vazquez.
My gut and intuition told me it wasn't time to do this.
Mario signed a contract with record executive Clive Davis and Davis' Arista Records on August 2005.
Both Parents are from Puerto Rico
He dropped out of Idol so he can pursue his singing career in his own terms.
His first single "Gallery" was written by Ne-Yo.
She sang backup on Michael Jackson's "Invincible" album on the track "Whatever Happens."
Mario has been signed to a record deal with J Records, which is also the label of prior idol winners Ruben Stoddard and Fantasia.
