The Daily Advance covered a Welcome Home Party thrown in Ricky’s honor in Elizabeth City, NC after returning from his flawless, yet short-lived run on Season 8 of American Idol. To read about the party, click on either of the images below.

I wish I could be there at the party. I wish I could see Ricky. I am from China and now studying in Springfield Missouri. I am a big fan of Ricky!
I love his great voice and star quality. (Please ignore what that Simon said!)
Ricky, you WILL have a bright future!

It seems like he is such an awesome guy! Great family and friends supporting him!
I cannot wait for the world to hear his beautiful voice!

Where is Ricky? Jorge and Jasmine appeared on Ellen today. Both got to sing. They are making the rounds on TV talk shows. WHY NOT RICKY!!!! I’m bumed
March 16th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
So how can Jorge and Jasmine sing and Ricky can’t sing for 3 months?? That just doesn’t make sense!
My stepson works at that restaurant…..I can’t believe he didn’t tell me about the party….wait til I see him….I’m gonna smack that boy!
Please let us know early if he’s gonna be on Ellen so I can tape it!!

Question, is Ricky married, not that it matters? Just saw a ring on his left finger.

Is it true..Ricky was given permission by AI to be on Ellen and he can also sing?

Ricky….Just want to let you know the first time I saw you sing at the audition, I told everyone you were going to be a force to reckon with, your voice so full and rich,such star quality. I will always believe that. I have bought your two single, which I love and will look forward to albums one day. Would be honored to meet you one day….Till then I wish u the best..

I firmly believe that Ricky would have upset the apple cart for the AI producers. Hence no facetime and the very out of place comments by Simon and Randy to further his elimination from the show. Ricky would very easily have taken a spot from one of the hand-picked final four contestants (I guess we’ll have to watch now to see if this comes true). And the judge’s save is there to ensure that they have the top four that they want.
What a crock. Go Ricky Go!!!! Sing your heart out.

Mike - no doubt the fix is in. I mentioned this on the AI website a while ago (how pimping some “selected” contestants while completely ingoring Ricky - it was askward if not comical). AI deleted the message and banned me from the site. No problem, I am boycotting the show - I don’t like being manipulated by the producers in a supposed singing competition.

I am from the Philippines and was a huge fan of AI until what happened to Ricky. I and a friend really root for him. we were hoping really he’s still in the show coz we love watching him. we just can’t wait now for his album. hopefully it’ll be very soon.

San Francisco here, by way of Manila, Philippines. I became a huge Ricky fan after watching and hearing him perform “A Song For You” on American Idol. It’s a huge pity he’s no longer on the show. He’s at least as good as the current top contenders, and markedly better than the remaining stragglers. He deserves a chance to be named American Idol, and it’s apparent many of the show’s viewers feel similarly. More Ricky!

Yo Ricky and Ricky’s fan club… where can I purchase “Love Me Like L.A.?”
I’m from Los Angeles, and I’m digging this song… and I wanted you (Ricky) to be in the top 13! (Wish Michael Sarver wasn’t there!).

I watched the result of the 1st group show again. When knowing he didn’t make it, Ricky was very gentlemanly and when he said “Thank you” to Ryan, he looked at the judges and nodded. When Danny sang, Ricky signaled the everyone including the audience to stand up.
What I want to say is that Ricky Braddy is such a gentleman and a good organizer. He is not just “a nice shy guy who has good vocal”.

i dont watch ai lately but have heard matt’s studio version of ’so small’. this song suits ricky more. i give matt 6.3/10

Looks like it will be August before we will be able to hear Ricky sing. Just saw this info on another site about another eliminated contestant.
“Jon Peter Lewis interviews Alex Wagner-Trugman!
Alex sang for the show, but due to Idol red tape, the performance can’t be posted until August…”
This info leads me to believe if Ricky appears on Ellen soon it will be just an interview.

Let’s all contact Jon Peter Lewis to get Ricky on his blog “American Nobody” site.

Nice interview with Alex Wagner Trugman..a little behind the scene AI tidbits.

Still missing Ricky’s astonishingly beautiful vocals and kind demeanor! American Idol is lost without Ricky, as none of the other singers this year even come close!
