Taylor Swift 75 40.11%

Kellie Pickler 65 34.76%

Jack Ingram 47 25.13%

Total Votes: 187


I have been keeping an eye on this poll. Initially, Taylor had a lead of about 15 votes, Kellie was in second but leading Jack by only 5 or 6 votes (the numbers at that time were 35-20-14). Kellie has gradually cut into Taylor's lead percentage wise and expanded her lead over Jack. Each member can vote only once. One problem with the poll is of course, there is no way to be sure that all voting members have actually been to the concert.

Still, that's a nice representation of what people think. Personally I would put it Kellie, Jack, Taylor. lol

Me too! Having just been to the concert in Hershey, I put Kellie way ahead of TS but then again, I am not in the teeny bopper age bracket and do not buy tons of cds. Kellie has a much more diversified age range of appeal it still seems to me. Time will tell. However there is room for both of them, they are different, that's for sure!

Not surprising and this falls in line with media reviewers who have been to the concerts. Without reading every review again I believe many or most of them gave Kellie the best reviews of the openers, at least for her powerful singing and performing.

Yep, I agree and have even mentioned the same things on the other boards too, even used that 'teenybopper' word myself. I'm looking forward to a few years from now when Kellie will be 'headlining' for these other acts - if they are still around (except Brad of course).

I think things are already gradually shifting more towards Kellie, despite what the album sales charts look like.

It's just amazing to me that Taylor is more popular than Kellie. As others have said, I can only surmise it's because of the teeny boppers.

I was at the show last night in Tinley Park and it was incredible!!! Great show all the way through. This was enhanced by being 8th row CENTER!!! The stage came out in 3 different spots and we were only 2 rows away from where it came out in the center. Great pics of all, especially Kellie. She was amazing, vocally, physically and most importantly, her performance and the connection with the crowd was top-notch. She signed a red high heel for a younger female fan, right in the middle of introducing a song. For me though (and probably most in attendance), the highlight of her set was the INCREDIBLE performance of "I Wonder." The fans singing with her and her heart-wrenching performance of that song was amazing. A 2 minute standing ovation at the end of the song, coupled with the emotion and meaning behind the song, brought Kellie to tears. I defintely will try to see her again as I feel she will be around for QUITE SOME TIME!!! Not to take away from Jack Ingram (loud, sometimes screaming, but very energetic) and Taylor Swift (great voice and was surprisingly more flirtatious and sexy during her set that I would have imagined her being), but my feeling is Kellie (besides Brad Paisley) was the HIGHLIGHT of the evening. I encourage all who can to see this show with the current lineup, but if not, DEFINITELY get to see a Kellie show!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!

An excellent review! Thanks for taking the time to put your impressions down for the rest of us to see.

Welcome to Kelliefans. You will really enjoy yourself here since you have become a fan of Kellie's.
