Sure hope not. I stacked the votes for Bucky.

American Idol rocks!!! I'm pulling for Chris. Now I like watching it - will never pick up a phone and vote. I think they should vote people off, not vote for people they like. It always means a good one gets voted off, becuase everyone goes - hey - they were really good - they won't need votes. The grey hair guy looks like he has spasms every time he sings - one word - annoying. Also like katherine, but come on - after you sing act like you belong there- she acts like a little kid.

Worst winners of all time - Rueben and Fantasia - what were they thinking - they might have sold 10 Albums combined.

I watch with my 11 year old daughter and we are on totally different pages. She likes all the young ones even if they can't sing and I like Taylor(the gray haired guy). I think the girl who forgot her words should be off tonight but doubt it.

Must confess Mrs SCAR and I love it and have watched every week since season 1. I have William Hung on tape still and I stored a few good episodes on TIVO. It is an awesome show and no you are not gay if you watch Idol. But if you watch idol with your boyfriend, then you might be gay. Seriously it is a great show... Taylor Hicks is really good, Gideon should have been in the final 12 and Kevin is the worst singer to make it this far ever. Plus he has no charisma, stage presence or anything but people love him because he looks like a lost puppy out there. Ace has a great chance of winning and his rendition of Michael Jackson's Butterflies was a risky move last week but I loved it. I think Kelly was horrible last night but I hope Kevin goes home. Chris Daughtry was the best last night for sure. Stevie Wonder is the hardest artist to try to cover.

I loved the fact that Kevin, at 16 years old, is cocky enough to go right at Simon with a nice comeback last night. I'd almost like to see him around to PO Simon.

Bye bye, Melissa. She butchered the words to the song, but she did have a couple of other things going for her.

That wasn't good enough to overcome the mixed up lyrics though. But I'm not mad at her...Kevin wasn't even in the bottom 3 so that leads me to the question of how many 9 year old girls actually have cell phones now? That is crazy.

I'm tellin' ya... Kevin has his fans.... their ages may not add up to 21 but they are still a powerful group. I thought Bucky would have been lower... I know he does a rock/country sound but I didn't thing he was strong enough to draw a following. We'll see how far he goes.

I like the 1/2 hour format for the results show... it's to the point and we can move on about life :)

Thanks for filling me in guys! I was at church teaching kids so I did not get to see it! I think America did good last night and I do believe I will vote next week in hopes to get Chicken Little off!

Bren, I have watched for 5 seasons but never voted up to now. I am seriously thinking of voting just to get it right. I think America has gotten it right for the most part. There are always 1 or 2 people that leave a few weeks early for some other clown that should go. Truthfully Melissa was the worst one on Tuesday and she should have gone off but Chicken Little's sky should be falling for sure next week.

I really felt Kevin should have been gone a couple of weeks ago. His "charm" has worn off. I was shocked he was not even in the bottom three. Melissa certainly had a couple of assets that Kevin certainly can not bring to the table!

Kevin must have scored serious fan points for ripping on Simon Tuesday night, too.

I personally hate it when the contestants fire back at Simon. Simon's just honest and the good ones always take it without firing back. Simon obviously knows what he is doing.

Kevin is a big DORK and needs to be just removed. He was kind of cool in the beginning when you felt bad for him and he looked so innocent. Now he just acts like he is a stud - come on 4 year olds like you because you look like Chicken Little and the lisp - come on.

Kevin's Got to Go. Kevin's got to go. (Everybody) Kevin's Got to go. Kevin's Got to go...

Seems like every year someone sneeks in. Two years ago, the red-headed crooner, and last year, the large white thug wannabe.

Could anyone actually see "Bucky" as the American Idol??? How would you promote him to the public? Every song he sings has that rasp in it. And i thought the " Jessica Simpson" hair thing would for sure have sent him to the bottom.

Bumpity Bump!

Bye bye, Kevin. Figure Bucky and Lisa will be next to go, then the drama will REALLY start. Other than being reasonably hot, I think Pickler should go after those two.

Chris Rocks!

Chris is definitely the best in my mind but he has a long way to go and I hope he can keep it up. 10 more weeks, and opinions of America can change. Right now I think it is his to win. Bye-Bye Kevin...it is about time. I agree that Lisa and Bucky are next.

I'm just impressed that we've made it to three pages and no one has accused RD of rigging the contest or being the one who's responsible for people getting voted off.

Chris was great this week. I agree he's definitlely one of the top three candidates. But as you said, it could change as we have many weeks to go.

I love Taylor also. He reminds me of Huey Lewis, I think that is his name. For those young ones he was in a band in the 80's.

Bren, interesting comparison to Huey Lewis (and the News). I hadn't thought about that or heard that one before but I can definitely see it/hear it.

I'm not going to lie, I catch my self tune'n in to see how doped up Paula is going to be, although it's not as bad as last year but sometimes she looks like and sounds like Ozzy
