American Idol, Season 5 **Official Discussion Thread**

Poor Kevin! All I wanted was for him to stay at least one more week so I could see him on tour. Then he could go home. I knew he wasn't going to win, but I'd much rather see him then Bucky. Bucky better be leaving next week because he sucks, he took Will's spot in the top 12, and he took Kevin's spot on tour!

Well anyways, at least some of you don't have to worry about my mommy taking the phone away from me next week, and sending me nighty night early.

The only good thing about Kevin leaving is that at least we don't have to see people continuously bashing the poor kid on his looks, lisp, twitching, etc.

Yeh but tonight ryan said "kellie, simon said you were ballsie" and she said, "whaaaat is balllllsie" with that goofy "deer in the headlights" grin again! Ryan said, i don't think i have enough time tonight to explain it, lol! we just laughed so hard here.

 

[lbgraves]

Hmmm...they might want to keep Kellie around for the tour. She can be the comic relief inbetween the bad singers.

I forgot about that part because I was too upset over Kevin leaving. Actually I think she said "what is A ballsie"! That got me .

So.



Did she take notes on Carrie Underwood? (Remember---it's hard to see stars it's so bright out or something like that when Ryan asked her if she had any star sightings. )

Awww I'm so sad, I'm gonna miss Chicken Little. He brought some fun and humor to the show.

 

[Donna]

Yeh he was starting to grow on me a little. Getting this far was the boost of confidence that he needed. I don't know that he has enough talent to take this to the next level or has a big career in music ahead of him, but i wish him well.

Poor Kevin! .....

i'll agree with you on that! poor kev. true though, i wish he could have stayed to the top 10 so he could be on the tour. i might have considered going then! now the only person i'd really have any interest in seeing (in this case, "paying $60 to get a small glimpse of in a huge stadium") is taylor. hopefully he'll just win this whole thing!
farewell kevin! the sun never sets on those who ride into it!

 

[MELSMICE]

Did i hear kellie say "what is balllllllsie"? Is she FOR REAL????

That's what I heard, but my DD's all said they heard, "I wasn't ballllllsie!!!"

My first thought was at some point--motivational speaker. I don't know why--but I had pictures of him many years from now--reflecting on what he did..and how far he got..despite his appearance and his speech impediment.


I didn't reallize the top 10 was the only ones who got on tour. Never understood why they dropped the last 2.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Being that Kevin is from my town, I ' m sorry to see him go before Bucky.
We're proud of him here

 

[MELSMICE]

Yes, that's what she said, so obviously, my DD's were wrong (Mom's right again! )

You should be. Based on last night's performance I honestly thought Kevin was going to stay & that Bucky was going home.

I don't understand the reasoning either. Why make such a big deal out of the top 12, yet get rid of 2 of them for the tour? Why not just pick the top 10 then, if they're the important ones?

That's the only reason I'm so upset about Kevin being gone. If he just would have lasted one more week I would have been happy because then I could see him on tour. I know a lot of people don't like him, but I really enjoyed his performances.

Bye Kevin - you are a dead ringer for my 11 year old. Now his fame is over too. My 11 year old can now stop being embarrassed.

So your poor son looks like chicken little???

 

[damo]

That's what I heard, but my DD's all said they heard, "I wasn't ballllllsie!!!"

I just replayed it to be sure and she said, "What's a ballsie?"

Ryan responded, "I don't have enough time this half hour"

 

[lbgraves]

The big difference with Carrie is that she CAN sing.

 

[KristaTX]

Darn . Kellie Pickler didn't go home .

 

[lbgraves]

Patience now...we can only send one home at a time.
