American Idol - Revisited

I deleted the post with all the pictures. I didn't want the pictures cluttering up my free "Photobucket" space, so I zapped the post and the pictures. So -- and I post this because I know you're so excited about this -- I'll give you an update.

Yeah ... it's a sweeping gesture on my part. But because it's you, I'll do it.

Original 12 contestants

• Ace Young
• Bucky Covington
• Chris Daughtry
• Elliott Yamin
• Katherine McPhee
• Kellie Pickler
• Kevin Covais
• Lisa Tucker
• Mandisa
• Melissa McGhee
• Paris Bennett
• Taylor Hicks
  

The three that ended up in the bottom three, based on over 32 million votes cast:

• Ace Young
• Bucky Covington
• Chris Daughtry
• Elliott Yamin
• Katherine McPhee
• Kellie Pickler
• Kevin Covais
• Lisa Tucker
• Mandisa
• Melissa McGhee
• Paris Bennett
• Taylor Hicks

The one that was sent home was ... Melissa McGhee.

What I can't believe is that Kevin Covais, the 16 year old geek, is still in there. He's simply not that good. Everyone knows he stands no chance of winning it. Yet people continue to vote for him. Who? Why? I don't get it.

Next week ... another update! See? Aren't you thrilled? :-)
