Ever since I heard this week would be a surprise boot and it was compared to Constantine in S4, I've thought it could be Michael going home. While I see absolutely no reason to use Constantscream as an example for a Michael boot because I see no similarites in the two, I still had that suspicion. That got me to thinking that myBucky left 8th in S5. I freakin' love Bucky and was finding that not a lot of people were getting it.Anyway. Some comparisons:
S5 - Top 9 performed country songs. Bucky sang "Best I Ever Had" in the pimp spot. I thought his performance was so sexy. I ranked him 1st.
S7 - Top 9 performed Dolly Parton songs. Michael sang "It's All Wrong, But It's All Right" in the pimp spot. I thought his performace was so sexy. I ranked him 1st.
S5 - Top 8 performed Queen songs. Bucky sang "Fat Bottomed Girls" in spot numero uno. I ranked him 3rd because while I adore Bucky and thought the performance was pretty much awesome, I could see that non-fans who didn't "get it" wouldn't see what I saw and thought the performance wasn't quite as good as the previous week's.
S7 - Top 8 performed "inspirational" songs. Michael sang "Dream On" in spot numero uno. I ranked him 3rd because while I adore Michael and thought the performance was pretty much awesome, I could see that non-fans who didn't "get it" wouldn't see what I saw and thought the performance wasn't quite as good as the previous week's.
I'm not comparing myBuckylove to mmmMichael, per se. I am just pointing out some similarities in the boot order and my views on their performances for those two weeks. I could, of course, compare my fandom for both of them. They are two of my four favorite idol contestants in all seven seasons. I will absolutely follow Michael's career. Eagerly.
hmmm... I wonder what Bucky's iTunes sales would have looked like if they offered that back then.
