As far as underdogs go, I think Texasflower would be rooting for Bucky. He's a likable guy and she'd probably find something attractive about him :) And I can see her joining Taylor's "Soul Patrol" too.

I miss her scoldings!

So do I. She had a real talent for it :) She could correct you without insulting you ... Always sweet.

Sigh.

Yep, she probably would vote for Bucky, as well as the others. :)

Yes, we have picked our favorites, but in most cases, at least in mine, we pick who WE think is the best or has the most potential, or whose style personally appeals to IS the most. That's very subjective and it is different for each and every one of us. So while we have our favorites, it's not necessarily based on who is the cutest or the popular kid etc. It's who musically appeals to us and with the acknowledgment that even our favorites have good days and bad days. Each of them have talent and voting based on one song seems unfair in a way. At least for me. I wouldn't vote against one of my favorites, just because they sang one song poorly. Remember, most of us don't have your educated ear for music. (Especially me.) I just vote for who touches me personally. You mentioned the prejudices that are present no matter how a singer might sound on any given night. That's true to some extent. Scott Savol suffered the very worst from that sort of thing though. I don't remember if you ever said any of those things about Scott or not, but many, many people here did. Lots of people never actually heard Scott's voice because of that.

Most of Constantine's was about his dirty hair or those "sultry" (yuck) gazes into the camera. Lots of the comments were almost lighthearted. Scott got more intense and personal comments. Not lighthearted at all. There was cruelty in some of the comments about Scott where it wasn't quite that way for Constantine. I don't know why some posters think Bo was bashed. Just thinking Bo was too professional to compete with the others doesn't seem like bashing to me. But in the end, everyone got along fine and we had a great time!

... if she could get past the long hair! lol

She really disliked long hair on guys, or maybe just Bo.
Bucky sure seems like a sweetie, especially those melty eyes.

Simon Cowell predicts top three 'Idols'

NEW YORK, March 17 (UPI) -- "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell predicts the final three in this season's finals will be Chris Daughtry, Taylor Hicks and Kellie Pickler.

Cowell made his prediction for the Fox TV talent competition during a Thursday telephone conversation broadcast on Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio show, the New York Post reported Friday.

"Let me tell you who's gonna be in the finals," Cowell said. "The bald-headed kid (Daughtry) and the guy with gray hair (Hicks)."

A few minutes later, he added, "I think the top three will be the two I mentioned and Kellie Pickler."

Around this time last year, Cowell correctly predicted Carrie Underwood would take the crown, the newspaper noted.

Why is he so bent on Kellie? She is definitely not one of the top 3 talents there. Taylor and Chris, yes, but Kellie...ugh.
