Deandre Brackensick on American Idol Elimination: I Agree!

by at .

Throughout his run on American Idol, which came to an end on last night's results show, Deandre Brackensick was easily the most polarizing contestant on season 11.

And the long-haired crooner knew it, based on an interview he gave to E! News soon after Ryan Seacrest broke the bad news to him on national television.

"My style, you either love it or hate it," Brackensick said. "And, you know, R&B is so unappreciated right nowadays and I really want to bring it back, so I kind of had a feeling somewhat. Things happens for a reason and it's not the end. Just gotta keep fighting for it."

Jennifer Lopez said she tried to save Deandre last night, but she was outvoted by Randy and Steven.

Still, you won't hear this aspiring star complain. Quite the opposite, in fact.

"I understand where the judges are coming from. I've already been saved once and you only get so many chances, so I wasn't ready for America right now. I agree with them 100 percent. I agree with the judges, I agree with Jimmy [Iovine] and what happened. I'm just grateful I got to this point."

Do you think Brackensick should have been sent home this week?

    @Sickening: Amen Brother!!! Deandre otherwise known as "Perm", for his hair or "Soul Glow" looks like someone you would see on a cruise ship or hole in the wall at a an airport lounge. It amazes me that this uy makes it to the live shows as well as Heejun or the other big guy J-Lo was in love with who got kicked off earlier. How about we get down to a real show and eliminate all but Joshua, Phillip, Jessica and Skylar. Instead of having to suffer through mediocre performances (Heejun, "Perm", etc)

    Thought he was great during Hollywood Week when he just did solid singing. He went falsetto too much and it just came across as trying to be too cutesy. I hope he has a career-we need a good old-style R&B singer. DeAndre: all you needed to do was just sing!

    Whoever posted above sickening, I have a question for you? Why would you listen to someone whom you label as sickening? If you don't like don't listen! How hard is that to figure out???

    This kid was starting to get on my last nerve....with the constant hair pushing back, he was acting too girlie for my taste, and was not a good singer...I'm glad he's gone...the reason why he lasted this long was J.Lo loved him and wanted him for herself, and the teenbopper 2 year olds voted him this far....AMEN SEE YA>>>>>>WOULDN"T WANT TO BE YA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
