I agree with you totally. I am getting concerned she could win also. UGH! I just don't understand who she is fooling out there. I wouldn't buy a record of hers. Country has been done, outstandingly, by Carrie. This little twit isn't good enough to wash Carrie's snot rags!

Country has been done, outstandingly, by Carrie.

Yes, but if Pickle wins, she will diminish Carrie. Country music is a genre that already has plenty of pretty blonde women with voices that are similar. Pickle will occupy the exact same niche as Carrie -- an American Idol winner that Country radio can exploit. Everyone in the industry wants a piece of the AI phenomenon right now.

Is there room for two women who, on the surface, seem like clones of each other? Simon apparently thinks so. Remember back when he dissed Carrie while complimenting Pickle?

A sampling of Country's current crop of blondes:

The Dixie Chicks (I know, I know, but they're here only to make the point about blondes in Country music)

Faith Hill

Lee Ann Womack

LeAnn Rimes

And, of course, Carrie...seen here performing at the CMT Awards this past Monday.

The most unique woman in Country right now both musically and in her physical appearance is Gretchen Wilson.

LOL!

The Gherkin can immitate Carrie all she wants, but she has yet to have a standout performance.

This time last year, Carrie had a big one--Heart's "Alone"--and maybe one or two more after that. But Pickler hasn't proved that she can "carry" a single song on her own. All she has is that annoying cute act--that's it.

What would fabulously do her in if she she tried to sing Jesus Take the Wheel, Independence Day, or God Bless the Broken Road. Carrie's signature songs.
