For Texas' Grant Knoche, he was grateful for all the support his home state of Texas was showing him. He even noted that he made a mash-up of his song, 'Mr Independent' with Kelly Clarkson's 'Miss Independent', noting that if this was the closest he got to a duet with her, he'd take it as a win. Knoche was a one-man army when it came to his music, seeing that he didn't have a team behind him, but that didn't stop him from doing what he loved. Now, he was on a mission to have America fall in love with his music.
