Independent Tribune Top 10 Stories of 2006

No. 6 - Kellie Pickler finishes

in ‘American Idol’ Top 10

Albemarle and Stanly County native Kellie Pickler had her five minutes of fame as she competed on “American Idol” and made the Top 10 before getting the boot by fans and judges.

Pickler’s down-home country ways irritated some and made her the darling of others. The fact that she said she had never had calamari and didn’t know what a minx was, are just a couple of the most memorable moments from the American Idol season.

After her stint on the popular TV show, Pickler packed her bags and headed to Nashville. She also rolled out a CD around Halloween, “Small Town Girl.”

Interesting.

I would have rated them a bit differently, but I live next to, and not in Cabarrus, so I might see them differently.

Yeah I saw this. Another person who sees the need to put some bashing into the review, which is stupid if you ask me. But hey she's getting talked about more then any of the other idols and the people who really count know she'll succeed so I'll take it. lol
