Bucky Covington’s next single is actually Nickelback’s ‘Gotta Be Somebody’!

I think Bucky does a good job, but Nickelback’s version isn’t old enough to have a remake already.

Which one do you think is better? Bucky Covington or Nickleback?

Week after week, performance after performance, Amanda Overmyer continues to baffle me. I just can’t understand the words coming out of her mouth. It all blends together and it just sounds like she’s mumbling.

Yet, the judges love her and she continues to get good reviews every week. I just don’t get it.

She kind of reminds me of Bucky Covington. I didn’t think his voice was that great, or that understandable either, yet he did quite well for himself.

So what do you think of Amanda Overmyer? Good? Bad? Other?

I’m not a big fan of Bucky Covington, but whenever It’s Good To Be Us comes on the radio, I can’t help but listen.

Even though I like the song, I can’t say I like the video. It sounds like such a good couples song and making a video all about motocross seems like the hick thing to do.

Here is the behind the scenes video shoot if you’d like to know how they made the video.

Way to go Idols!

The entertainment show TMZ takes a stab at some former Idol constants. It seems Elliott liked Britney’s comeback performance the other night and a hand full of former Idol stars are playing to less than sold out crowds.

I really don’t think this is a quality piece, but that’s the news; one sided and just out for ratings.

Some Idols change once they get off the show, but not Bucky. The same look and the same sound.

Bucky Covington’s first album is now available. The self titled debut showed up in iTunes this morning just waiting for you to download it.

The album tracks include:

1. American Friday Night
2. Different World
3. I’ll Walk
4. Back When We Were Gods
5. Ain’t No Thing
6. I’m Good
7. Empty Handed
8. Hometown
9. It’s Good to Be Us
10. Carolina Blue
11. Bible and the Belt

Bucky’s album was produced by Mark Miller of Sawyer Brown for which I’m a big fan, but Bucky on the other hand, well the verdict is still out on if I like him. There are a few songs I’m interested in, but I’m not downloading the album today. We’ll just have to wait and see what comes across on the radio first.

Will he be another Idol star from the talented season five? Or will this be his last album?

You can preview Bucky’s album, and download it for $9.99 on

While listening to the radio the other day they played a new song by a newcomer to country music. The song was A Different World and the artist was Bucky Covington.

Bucky was a finalist in season 5 of American Idol and to be honest, I didn’t think he was that great. His voice seemed no where near the quality of most other contestant yet he made it to the top 12 and now has a record contract with Lyric Street Records.

A Different World is a song about how life was different back when we were kids. No seatbelt in cars, no video games and no unleaded paint. I think it’s a decent song, but nothing great. I also think Bucky’s voice is a bit more polished in the song. But then again, they can re-master anything in a sound studio.

You can listen to A Different World for free (and possibly download) here and at Bucky’s MySpace page.

The MySpace page also has American Friday Night, I’m Good and Empty Handed to listen to. Some of which might be decent songs.

If you can’t wait for more Bucky Covington, the entire album will be released April 17th 2007 so hold on tight.
