Ricky may be from Nashville, but he was born and raised in Elizabeth City, North Carolina!
That’s right, Sam. He is definitely from Elizabeth City, NC. I recently saw him twice in December, once at the Step of Faith concert at the College of the Albemarle, and once at the REALTOR Christmas party. He was at the REALTOR party to help with the catering and tables, but we roped him into singing for us a little.
Ricky is my 3rd cousin so it feels cool to be related to a future American Idol!!!
Ricky is my husband’s 1st cousin. his family in maryland is very proud and can’t wait to start voting for him!! Go Ricky!
Paula Abdul named Ricky Braddy as one of her Top 3 favorites this season! It was on TV Guide Network’s show called IdolWrap!
I had a class with him at Belmont. He really impressed me with his voice then. I really believe he will win and if not he will be a star. His voice is wonderful. He does need to own it though and not be ashamed of his star power.
WHAT is happening, with AMERICAN IDOL???! I have, always, been a advocate of the criticism, on this program…but ARE WE A CLUELESS AUDIENCE??! And, is there any OVERRIDE by the Judges…when, clearly, this is a WONDERFUL performer…and, even with no future coaching, could emerge as WINNER of this competition! And, yet, he’s NOT voted on??!
BIG MISTAKE!
The American public are just complete morons! Ricky Braddy just blew everyone away last night. In fact, the only 2 “singers” in this year’s competition that are on par vocally with Rickey are Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey. If the judges don’t pick him to come back, they are complete and utter morons as well God, are there no standards left in this country?
I live in Elizabeth City and have known Ricky since he was a baby, his Parents are the god parents of my niece and nephews. I have seen him sing since he could walk, and what american idol is doing to him is a tragedy and is wrong.
I agree whole-heartedly……..I’ve watched every season of Am Idol, & am a very large music enthusiast, & I knew the minute I heard Ricky sing that he was awesome……& I know he was the best of the night. Danny G. wasn’t as good & I think it was just his luck that he got to go last. Did you notice in the results show that Ryan didn’t mention all the very positive things Kara, Simon, Paula, & Randy said about Ricky, or go to them for their thoughts. Simon did say he thought Ricky sang great, he just also made those absurd comments about lack of self-confidence. Not only did Ricky sing the best, he seemed to have the best demeanor…..while Tatianna was crying in the result show, etc., Ricky was smiling & seemed genuinely very happy for the “put-through” contestants. I think & hope that we’ll see Ricky in the Wildcard show………I only hope that all the men slots aren’t already full!!
I am totally annoyed with this show. I love to hate it, i guess because I loved Ricky Braddy and thought he was far better than Anoop or many of the other singers and by the way this is a singing show as Simon has reminded us so many times before and now they have turned it into a personaily contest. Because he feels so many people will like Anoop he gets voted in, but someone who can actually sing gets passed over. This show is rigged if you ask me.
I am also a fan of Ricky’s….He sang his heart out and they all said he could sing with the exception of Simon, but in order to meet Simons standards you must be either GQ (which I thought Ricky was) or a thin young cute woman…..I have always been a fan of IDOL and have defended the comments of it being so unfair.. well, I’ve had the opportunity to see it first hand, Ricky didn’t have a sob story to offer he was just a singer trying to show american his raw talent. Paula even said he deserved to make it thru along way ..What happened. Ricky is a far better singer than quite a few that are in the final 13. I made a promise after seeing how they totally ignored Ricky that if he didn’t make it thru I would no longer watch IDOL..I keep my promises. As soon as he was voted off I turned the channel and will never watch it again. It’s really sad to see what they have turned it into…..
Ricky Braddy got robbed! I thought his rendition of “A song for you” was the BEST and his performance of “Superstition” was excellent! What the hell are the judges listening to? I bought “A song for you” from Itunes and cannot get enough of it. I wish Ricky nothing but the best in his career as a singer and cannot wait for his first album!
Still missing Ricky Braddy. American Idol… You Lose…in all definitions of the word!
