By | Reality Rocks – Thu, Feb 16, 2012 3:55 PM EST

Reality Rocks stopped by the Grammy rehearsals last Friday, where I was thrilled to run into "Glee Project" champion Damian McGinty. I instantly unleashed my inner Gleek, and recruited Damian for a quick chat about his surprise win on "The Glee Project," how he transitioned into the "Glee" cast, whether he will return as a mentor on "The Glee Project" Season 2, and what it's like to now work with his co-winner Samuel Larsen, who made his official "Glee" debut this week.

Your Irish eyes will be smiling as you watch Damian's adorable interview below!
