Greensboro NC, United States (2006 – present)
Kellie Dawn Pickler (born June 28, 1986) is an American singer best known for her sixth-place finish on the fifth season of American Idol. She was eliminated from the show on April 26, 2006.
Kellie Pickler had a difficult upbringing. The Tough Songfacts explains that Kellie was raised by her grandparents, after her mother abandoned her and her alcoholic father spent time in and out of jail. The 21-year-old Pickler auditioned for American Idol in the fall of 2005 in Greensboro, North Carolina. She sang both Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone” and Martina McBride’s “A Broken Wing”. The judges unanimously sent her to Hollywood. Pickler advanced through the semi-finalist rounds in February and March, reaching the Top 12 On March 9.
Pickler gained attention on the show by saying (for example) that she had never performed before real audiences, pronouncing “salmon” as “sal-mon”, and confusing “minx” with “mink “. She was compared to Jessica Simpson in a March 27 story in US Weekly magazine entitled “Kellie: The Next Jessica Simpson”, due to her “sweet southern style and ditzy demeanor.” Various Internet blogs alleged that Pickler was merely putting on an act in order to win votes. Host Ryan Seacrest asked Pickler about the allegations during the April 4 broadcast, and she denied the claims. On April 19, Pickler and contestant Taylor Hicks became the only contestants among the rest of the Top 6 to never be in the bottom 3. That changed on April 26 when she was in the bottom 2 and then eliminated. Due to time constraints, her exit performance was not aired on the show, which happened to be the first time of its kind in American Idol history.

Kellie Pickler has made clear that 100 Proof is her favourite album to date and she really wants it to be her next step into country music business. So, if you are a true Pickler fan as myself, buy the album, download it on iTunes, tell your friends to do the same. It's Kellie's shot to be a superstar! I'm from Brazil and I've just bought 5 100 Proof's just to help Kellie. Her first week sales are 25-28k, but we all know she can reach a lot more than that. Please, help Kellie Pickler get into the place she deserves to be!
