Quick update...

Today's Richmond County Daily Journal has the scoop on the local reaction to last night's suspenseful show. Their take on next week's possibilities:

Next week’s “Idol” will see the field narrowed to nine. The show’s theme is music from the 21st century.

“That’ll be real good for him,” Rocky said. “I think he’s going to stick with the country side of things. That’s pretty much his category anyway.

“Actually, I think that he’ll be good for the weeks to come.”

Gene said, “I think you’ll see better performances from him now. He’s got a weight lifted off his shoulders. What a relief.”

Over at Idolforums, the official Top Ten portrait (and a stopgap shot with Kevin Covais rather unkindly airbrushed out) have been posted--at XXL size. (Browser crash warning.)

And no matter which board you're browsing today, Bucky's fans seem to agree on one thing--it's time for a ballad. Ah, but which ballad? We'll keep our ears wide open...

The professional photos from Tuesday's "Oh Boy" are posted at IdolonFox.com. Bucky's shots start here. Enjoy!
