Ricky seems like such a sweet guy, so unassuming. I thought he performed beautifully last night. However, he isn't in the same league as some of the other contenders, and he was bound to be eliminated soon. What I can't understand is why they didn't allow him to sing one last song, as they did the others who were eliminated. Tonight's show, while good in that they didn't draw it out, didn't seem to give Ricky the praise he obviously deserves for having come this far.
If I had my choice, it would have been Carmen gone tonight.
Of those remaining, these are my choices for who I think is the best:
Ruben
Kimberly C.
Kimberly L.
Clay
Trenyce
Josh
Carmen
Obviously, American thinks differently than I do, so I say next to go will be Carmen or Kim C. I'll hate to see Kim C. go, I think she is wildly talented, plus she has the whole package.
