Real Names?

[cinnamocha]

Just curious What are Ace and Bucky's real names?
Anyone know?:confused:

[IdolMe]

Why would anyone lie and say there name is... Bucky? :repuke:

[RushDog]

Yeah, I think Bucky is his real name. He's probably named after Buck Owens or something. Ace is named after the famous saxophonist, Ace Cannon.

[sherryd61]

Bucky's real name is William Joel Covington, I do now know Ace's real name.

Yeah, I think Bucky is his real name. He's probably named after Buck Owens or something. Ace is named after the famous saxophonist, Ace Cannon.
On American Idol Extra, Ace revealed that his first name is Brett (comes from George Brett of the KC Royals, whom Ace actually got to meet when he was 12). He said that Ace is actually his middle name, but he's always gone by it. He said it actually comes from his grandfather's name (pronounced "aisuh", not sure how to spell it).

If you go to the AI website and click on Jaded's interview videos, there is one there with Ace and Bobby. He gives Ace a real hard time about the name.

Well, Bucky ain't the Piano Man that's for sure.

I've been searching these forums high and low and I can't seem to find the answer to this question:

Does anyone know what Ace's real name is?

Thanks in advance for the help.

You are all wrong. Ace's real name is Allowishus (pro: Al-O-Wish-us) and Bucky's real name is Salmon Rushdee. (Yes this is the author that wrote about Islam and had to go into hiding. His handlers told him his new identity was sufficient to become a mediocre singer and compete in AI) This is the real truth. Sorry for so much dis-information from this lame-@#$ crowd.

Ok, Now declare Holy Jihad, strap on that C-4 Vest, walk into an empty field, and find paradise.

Can the judges please explain how some of these folks ever get through the registration process---or is there a simplified version for the cognitively impaired?

Nothing wrong with that! But you don't spell correctly so what do you know! It can be said you're welcome OR you're welcomed - IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT!

[sherryd61]

Its on Bucky's website along with his original song you can listen to. It is really very good. You can hear him instead of the band.

Maybe in some form of weird bayou-English her response would have been correct, but not for anyone with more than a third grade education. I'll let you decide which of those two categories you might fall under.

Yo-Yo used the word as an adjective, as an expression of thanks i.e. "Your welcome, (it was no trouble at all).

Only if she had been using the word as a past participle transitive verb would it have been correct to say "welcomed" such as "We welcomed his feedback" or "He was welcomed into our home".

In the context she used the word it was completely incorrect.

Now, who's welcome, you or me?

Keep in mind this is the internet so this guy could be from Russia or Germany and trying to speak our universal language of English, at least they are trying on their own to learn the language that everyone should be mandated to learn.

Aztec, I don't care if it was Nikita Kruschev III, if the dude (or dudette) is going to run English smack on me, they better have their ducks hatched before they launch them. (sic) :D

Besides, I'm sick and tired of calling just about any business in America and having to wade through: For English, press "1"; for Spanish, press "2"; for Yugoslavian press "3" etc. etc.

Let them learn the damn language before they try conversing with us. :outtahere

PS> Besides, how many Bourg, Louisiana's do you know of in Germany?

If may interject here... it appears the use of the word "welcome", as appears above, would indicate that "welcome" is a noun, something that is possessed by you. I believe the correct usage of "welcome", as you described, would be "You're (you are) welcome." :p

You're welcome.

I completely agree with you, I personally think all languages should be banned in this country except for English, and maybe Cajun and original Mandarin. (just kidding about the Mandarin)

AE, I believe welcome is only considered a noun when it used as a greeting, reception or reaction given to somebody who arrives or is being met, i.e. "The Idolme forums would like to extend a warm welcome to their guests".

Ya-Ya used the word as an adjective, as an expression of thanks to indicate that something (in this case her input to me) was provided as a courtesy, favor, or a gift that was gladly done or given without expectation of repayment. "You're very welcome, it was no trouble at all."


Mucho Gracias.

[RushDog]

Thanked youd, you'red welcomed!

De nada. I was simply word smacking you on your failure to correctly use "You are" in it's contracted form (i.e. "You're").

Welcome is a curious and versatile word isn't it? When used in "The IdolMe forum welcomes you," its usage is as a verb. As you mentioned, it is also appropriate in some situations as an adjective or noun. I do agree with you, however, that it should not be used as a past particiaple transitive verb when actually responding to, "Thank you."

Thank you!

P.S. Press "2" if you would like to read this message in Cambodian.

[Feisty Kitty]

I love how grammar-esque this conversation has become! However, ya-ya did use the word incorrectly, yet I think we have failed to focus on the more important, and infinitly funnier point that ya-ya didn't understand that FI was being facetious. Perhaps we should focus less on the actual language and people's uses or missuses of it and simply enjoy the humor conveyed through it.

[Magicmarkerman]

Mucho Gracias.

C'mon now, False... Being from California, you MUST hear Spanish all the time, so I'm a little disappointed here...You might have the 'smack down' title for English, but watch your gender agreement with your Spanish!

Muchas Gracias

Consider me duly smacked.

That's either "you're welcome" or "is that a banana in your turbin or are you just happy to see me?" in Arabic.

PS. Want to see something weird? Cut and paste the Arabic writing into a new post. Then put your cursor over the Arabic and try your right and left arrow keys. Because Arabic is read from right to left the cursor and the up and down keys will react opposite to what they normally do.

That's okay, I think we all realize that English is Ya Ya's second language---even if she doesn't have a first one.

I had to come to the aid of an amigo, FalseIdol....

TinSong, he made no spelling errors. Unless you're spelling from a dwelling in "Bizzaro World"
