Regarding the Idols Live! tour, he said, “We are in rehearsals right now, and we are getting everything in place. It is going really well. It is a lot of work and it is a lot to learn, since we are signing our lead songs, group songs and we are singing back-up for one another, but so far, so good. We are having such a good time.”
Owen noted that the tour this year is going to be different from previous years. “It is in a more intimate setting, and you get to really know us and we get to tell our stories. It has a different vibe,” he said. “There will be a lot of different dynamics since each of us are different. We all get to have our moments. All together, it is going to be a phenomenal show.”
He covered the song “Jealous” by Labrinth and his music video was directed by Blythe Thomas. “Labrinth is very well-known in the United Kingdom, and he is such an amazing artist. That was one of the covers that I wanted to perform on the show, but I never got a chance. It is such a heart-wrenching song and something that I went through, emotionally. I just wanted to use my voice to show the beauty of the lyrics, and I wanted simple videography that captured what the song was saying,” he said.
On Wednesday, August 5, the Top 5 finalists this year will be performing at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. “It is going to be a great turnout, and I am really excited about that. A lot of legendary artists have performed there,” he said.
Owen listed Celine Dion, Betty Who and British songstress Jessie Ware as his dream female duet choices.
