Ricky seems like a quiet kind of guy, but some of the others didn't really show their personality last Tuesday either. But since we had already seen their personality during the auditions and hollywood rounds, it wasn't as noticeable as with Ricky. And yes, the fact that Ricky went second also hurt him. Especially with no face time in the earlier shows. Which is a pity because I thought he was amazing. I agree with that, too.

I think Ricky did sing the best, and I think he had the BEST voice of the night, but he had the DEATH spot of number 2? Or was it 3? Either way he had a death spot and no one knew him before him.

I had mentioned previously that I thought they would select 9 contestants for the W/C but not all of them would sing because of the time constraints. Ricky is a better singer than Danny and Michael. It doesn't mean he will be in the TOP 12. TPTB would be crazy not to include Anoop in the TOP 12. He has the votes and in so many ways, he is needed on the tour. Brief comment: The group performance for Neil Diamond included "Cracklin' Rosie," "Song Sung Blue," and "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show" with Jason being the lead in for "Cracklin' Rosie" - I loved it.

I think I even wrote something here last week in re: Tatiana coming back for the Wild Card show. She's a Fan "Favorite"/breakout personality, whether or not you liked her as a talent.

Well honestly Adam has charisma to spare, but we haven't seen him sing enough of anything to make a judgment of how well he will do on the idol stage. He could shoot himself in the foot like many of the girls did last week. Certainly the two guys who have already made the top 12 aren't igniting any fire in me to vote for them, one because he's just not good enough and the other because I am slightly turned off by him. Give me Ricky over them any day. I also think he has room to grow. I loved Elliott but I didn't see charisma at first. What I heard though was an incredible voice, and that is what made me want to hear more. That is how I feel about Ricky. Not that he is akin to Elliott, but that his voice alone makes me notice him. Nick is charismatic, but can he sing well enough to justify his possible slot in the top 12, or will he just rely on shtick and hope to become a less annoying William Hung?

Paula is pushing him so much, I am sure she will have a say on having him compete in the finals. I love Rickey's voice but I agree with Simon, I don't see much star quality on him. What type of artist will he be? I dunno. Danny ann Michael Sarver aren't very star power either. Now.. Matt Giraud. That's the guy who has the most star potential. JMHO. And he can grow too. I hope he doesn't blow it this week after his wonderful performance in Hollywood. I am just worried he won't be able to play the piano, but I think he can still make a good impression. He has a great voice. Yeah, I am pretty sure Rickey will go to the Wild Card and he will be part of the Top 12.

He's a very interesting character with a lot of layers to him. Well, he said he would try to do us proud and do his best on wednesday. I'll take his word for it. His father OWNS an oil company?! Holy crap! Nick! call me! I can go either way, Im adaptable. too many exclamation points but the interview was full of stuff. His father sounds like a really cool dad too.

I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Knowing he didn't have airtime should have got him to pick a song that would stand out or at least be fun. Hopefully the rumor is just that and they will get a chance to do new songs. During the season they have to learn 2 songs so it's not out of the question that round 3 people would have to.

I also think even though I don't like the idea of them having to sing the same songs that got them the ax the first time, it could work to his advantage. On almost every blog I read, he was singled out as the best or at least second best vocalist that night. So at least it wasn't song choice that screwed him, it was not being featured that did him in. Others, say Anoop or Tatiana would be served better if they sang different songs. Truthfully I don't want to see Tatiana again. While she didn't suck last week, she certainly wasn't good enough imho, one pretty note at the end of a song where frankly she sounded scared during most of it, does not a finalist make. Bringing her back for the drama is just silly. I am sure there will be enough drama with Anoop, Ricky and possibly a Von or Lil Rounds singing for their idol life. Of course I won't get my wish because what idol does best is usually the wrong thing. I would be stunned if Ricky doesn’t get a shot at the wildcard.
