I voted over 50 times for Ricky last night. I thought he sounded great and he is one of fav's. He seems like such a sweet man.

Whoo! Hoo! Thanks, Herm! :)

I think I voted over 50 times for Ricky last night also. I thought he was the best singer last night. He just needs to dump the hat.

GEL, we can't say you didn't do your part!

I like him...hope he heard me screaming about that dang hat.

He did a nice job on a hard hard song in FRONT of Lionel Richie. (Lionel was a fabulous judge)

Thanks Car.......I have been a lurker for several years now. I only post every once in a while.

Yeah that hat was awful. LOL

I agree about Lionel being a great judge. The best judge so far JMHO

The nice thing about Lionel being a judge, is that he actually watches the show. He has already seen them perform so he was not basing his comments on just seeing one performance by them.

I also like the guy who wrote the Mowtown songs. He and Lionel were the best judges so far, imo.

Welcome GEL.! (even tho you are not a newbie!)

Grooch, I think except for Olivia, all of the judges have been really really helpful and encouraging. I loved how into the show Lionel was. He looked great, BTW. I remember him from his heyday, and he looks exactly the same.

You guys crack me up, voting 50 times. I was on line and I am on dial up, so I can't vote and post at the same time! For a kid like Rickey or Charles or Carmen (such a baby!) who have never been away from home before to get to go to Hollywood, be on TV, work with these industry professionals is just wonderful. Even if they don't win, they are making contacts and hopefully something cool will happen to all of them.

You know, I pretty much like most of the kids on the show, and I just enjoy watching them grow each week. What a fabulous life experience they are having!

Car, I agree with you about liking all of the kids. It gets so hard now watching one of them getting voted off each week.

I thought Lionel looked great last night, also.

Yep, the we are down to a group where I am going to be sorry to see each one of them go.

I'm in the club. He is just too nice to go home yet! Unlike you Car, the group isn't small enough to where I'll be sorry to see each one go. They are growing on me however.

I don't know how many times I voted for Ricky last night, but it was probably 40 or so. I did the same last week and he wasn't in the bottom 3, so I'm thinking maybe I really do make a difference, LOL! I worry about Ricky because he's dead last in the AOL poll. I know it's not an accurate poll, but it can't be a good indicator. I am willing to forgive the hat last night, but I hope nothing like that happens again.

Nice work, Not1!

Remember this week the bottom 3 have carryover votes and he was safe, so that may help him.

Me too. I am a little concerned that he chose the wig, then a hat...I think he may be on a quest to find headgear that Simon WILL like, and it will doom him.

Car I think he has such a great smile and what I have seen of him, I think he is one of my favs... I don't get to watch all of the shows though... what is the phone number to call for him? I will help!

I went to the website and I can't find the phone # to call for Ricky ... help!

Moondance,

it is too late, you only have a 2-hour window of opportunity after the show ends in your area. It was sweet of you to offer, though!

Oh ok thanks Hermi, I am not that familar with all of voting stuff but thought I would help out:)

Don't worry Moon, I am feeling pretty good that Rickey will make it one more week at least.

I promise to be more on top of things:)

I love Ricky!!!! I voted for him 10 times last nite! I will cry when he goes, he is sooo sweet!!!!

Did anyone else notice that Rickey was wearing GLASSES during the prerecorded recap at the end of the show? Thank goodness sanity prevailed and he decided to take them off before the main taping!

Hotlantan, did you see Rickey's auditions? He is pretty geeky in real life. Simon told him he looked middle aged (he did). He is really working on the image thing, but I am not sure the sleek, idol image is his real nature.
I thought he looked like his grandma dressed him at his audition.

My condolences go out to all of us in this thread. Ricky is so sweet. Mom always told me life wasn't fair. I feel like stamping my feet and throwing things at the TV right now.

Good Luck Rickey. Do good on the tour, make us proud. And no more hats, ok?

Really, really sorry to see him go. I hope he was on long enough to get some good contacts.

You were my favorite.. Good Luck Rickey.. :)

He was robbed!!!! Kim C should have been gone instead!!!! Rickey at least pushed the envelope each week - but not Kim C... just my thoughts... I'm having a temper tantrum right now because he's gone.... waaaaahhhhhhh
