This week, we said "Goodbye" to Mark Hood from Team Pharrell. In a follow up elimination interview, Mark said, "I'm feeling all right, you know. It's hard but I'm feeling okay."

Q: Did you have a feeling last night that it was possibly your time?

Mark Hood: You know, I thought I would have to do my second save song but I thought that I had a chance to stay. I didn't think I was going home...But, you know, everything happens for a reason.

Q: Do you think it was an advantage you were on Team Pharrell the whole time, or do you see it as a disadvantage because may you missed out on additional insight?

Mark Hood: It was absolutely an advantage because Pharrell is a genius. He is absolutely one of the most incredible, amazing individuals that I have ever worked with or even met... Me and Pharrell have a connection on a deeper level than music, like there's a life connection, a mental connection. So I actually don't know if I would have had that with anybody else so I'm very happy that I was with Pharrell the entire time.

Q: Do you have a favorite memory from your journey that you can share with us?

Mark Hood: Well one of my favorite memories that America has seen is meeting Rihanna and working with her. It was so cool... And I just loved every minute of being with her and Pharrell because we just vibed so well and I just laughed the whole time.

Q: What advice would you give somebody going in for an open call audition with "The Voice"?

Mark Hood: Most importantly it's singing with your heart. My heart got me through this competition and they were making me all the time... What comes from the heart reaches the heart and that's very important.

Stay tuned for more upcoming elimination interviews this season from "The Voice."
