Bucky is not Lucky

I liked Bucky and I'm bummed that he's not on American Idol anymore. I'm sure his personality will be able to land him at least a minor contract somewhere.

Bucky Bites the "Idol" Dust

By Sarah Hall2 hours, 2 minutes ago

And another one's gone from American Idol.

Ponytailed crooner Bucky Covington became the talent search's latest casualty Wednesday after his performance of Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" proved an unpopular choice with viewers.

While both Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul praised Covington's efforts on Tuesday, Simon Cowell deemed the Idol hopeful's rendering of the song "quite mediocre."

"I think the song was bigger than you," Cowell said.

Voters apparently agreed with the acid-tongued judge and turned their dialing efforts elsewhere, leaving Covington with the lowest number of votes.

Upon hearing the bad news, Covington remained composed, telling host Ryan Seacrest: "Someone's got to go."

Joining the North Carolina native in the bottom three were Ace Young and Elliot Yamin.

After the feedback he received from the judges following his performance of "We Will Rock You," Young had good reason to fear that his night had come.

"I think it was a complete and utter mess. It didn't work--it was all over the place. You were forgetting your words. I mean, it was 'We Will Rock You Gently,'" Cowell sniped after the song. "I really, really, really hated that."

(C'mon, Simon--tell us how you really feel.)

Popular gambling sites concurred with Cowell, with a majority of bettors favoring Young for elimination.

However, the Idol voting population of America either liked the song, or at least hated it less than Covington's performance, allowing Young to avoid elimination for another week.

Meanwhile, Yamin's presence in the losers' circle puzzled the judges, who rewarded his performance of "Somebody to Love" with rave reviews.

Jackson suggested that voters "must be confused, because this boy can sing." It's apparently a persistent state of confusion, as this is the second week in a row that Yamin has landed in the bottom three.

Breathing sighs of relief were Chris Daughtry, Paris Bennett, Katharine McPhee, Kellie Pickler and Taylor Hicks, all of whom racked up enough votes to avoid the bottom three altogether.

Next week, the remaining seven finalists will take on the music of Rod Stewart, who will appear on the show as the guest celebrity coach.

The next Idol winner is scheduled to be announced May 24.

I wonder if Bucky can compete in Nashville Star? He's so much more of a country singer than he is of a pop star.

Yeah, can a top-10 reject of one show apply for another similar show?
