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.”
