Canvas background demo

 

Jasmine Murray and Jorge Nuñez tell ET what it feels like to be the first contestants from the Top 13 on this season's "American Idol" to be sent home -- and they reveal what their plans are after "Idol."

"Well, actually, I'm still wondering why is it that I'm so happy," Nuñez tells ET. "…What I thought was, you know, I did my best. I worked really hard, and I did something that not everyone does."

The 20-year-old contestant from Puerto Rico tells ET he plans to finish college, saying he has just one semester left to be finished with his degree.

Sixteen-year-old Jasmine Murray tells us that being in the Top 13 of "American Idol" solidified her decision to pursue a career in music.

"I know that I learned from being in this that this is what I want to do with the rest of my life," she says.

The talented teen also plans to finish high school and will then pursue a career in entertainment.

Watch the video to hear more from the eliminated contestants.

"American Idol" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. and Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on FOX.
