When Dreams Come True. . .
Congratulations, American Idol!!
First: brilliant move, creating personal videos on each of the contestants!! Who's going to not vote for Kellie Mae now??? No one wants to make her Grandpa cry!! He can't even talk about her without his little chin quivering, do you think people want to be responsible for making him sad??? Way to further complicate the process for the general public. Now, not only will their vote be swayed by just that night's performance, wardrobe and song choices, but way, way, way deep in their subconcious they'll be thinking "All that poor, poor man has is that little boy and that girl, who, unless she wins this contest, will end up working at the Grain and Feed, where they won't even let her work the cash register because she's dumb as a post!" Great!! Practically guarantees that Kellie will be around for a long, long, time.
Second: sending Bucky home!!
So, after they had reduced the entire cast to tears, with the exception of Bucky (who must be a robot) and made us suffer through the unfortunate "snot rag" incident, they finally got around to telling us the bottom three.
My reaction: vindication (I knew Ace would be there), shock (Elliott???) and amazement AND joy (finally Bucky is where he belongs). And when they finally told us that Bucky was going home, I almost went into shock. It's hard for me to fathom that the same public that could put Elliott in the bottom three could also see that Bucky needed to go home.
Final verdict: I didn't hate last night's show (I'm a sucker for tear-jerkers) AND I was rewarded with knowing that, next week I don't have to hear Bucky sing again.

So, let me see if I understand. Your not upset that Bucky is gone? LOL
Well, I still think he'd be fun to go have beer with sometime.
I must admit though that his farewell song was painful.
Bucky was the right one to go. He had a great personality and stage performance, but couldn't sing well....at least not the song categories that they had to sing. He's a good country bar singer.
I didn't like Elliot's song choice, but the judges did. I guess that makes me part of the public, because they put him in the bottom.
What's next?? Who's next??? Hard to figure...
