'IDOL' PSYCHICS
'IDOL' PSYCHICS
Ronnie Gill; Daniel BubbeoApril 4, 2006
GRAND "IDOL" OPRY. "American Idol" goes country tonight (8 p.m. on Fox/5), and while we have high hopes for some finalists, we expect a few achy, breaky notes from others, in particular, these guys.Lowest number of votes: Bucky Covington. With country music the theme, Bucky should sail through this week. But he suffers from two fatal flaws: a weak voice and a small fan base. We predict this real good man will take no country comfort in being outsung by his fellow contestants in his area of expertise.
Second lowest: Ace Young. As we all know, Ace is scarred. No, not on his chest, but psychologically. He has never recovered from his first trip to the Bottom Three, and his return there last week will only undermine his self-confidence even more. It's even begun to affect his good looks.Third lowest: Mandisa. I wanna praise you for some of your past performances, but Mandisa, your ultimate downfall will be your inconsistency. One week great, the next mediocre; weak on low notes, you tend to scream on high ones. Tonight's performance could cook your goose.-Ronnie GillLowest number of votes: Ace Young. Doing "Drops of Jupiter" last week, Ace sounded as though he was from another planet. We can only imagine that whatever bit of country he tries tonight might get him deported. Or at least, a ticket back home to Denver.Second lowest: Bucky Covington. Yes, Bucky's niche is country, but his sandpapery vocals are likely to put him within a niche of his life. After this week, Bucky may be headed for the last roundup.Third lowest: Kellie Pickler. Like Bucky, Kellie's also corn-fed and countrified, but it was no soap when she sang Sara Evans' "Suds in a Bucket" last week. A couple more performances of that caliber and she'll be washed up on "Idol."- Daniel Bubbeo
