Kellie Pickler to Perform Next Week on American Idol

http://www.realitytvfans.com/2009/04/02/kellie-pickler-to-perform-next-week-on-american-idol.html

Kellie Pickler to Perform Wednesday, April 8

Season Five finalist Kellie Pickler returns to the Idol stage to perform her new single, “Best Days of Your Life.”

Kellie Pickler’s gold-certified album, “Small Town Girl,” became the best-selling debut in 2006 by a solo country artist. Two of the album’s singles, “I Wonder,” and “Red High Heels,” placed on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Top 15 chart. Pickler’s self-titled sophomore album recently debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Album Chart, making her only the sixth country artist to have their debut and follow-up albums enter at the top of the charts. Winner of three 2008 CMT Awards, Pickler penned five of the album’s tracks, including the hit “Best Days of Your Life,” which was co-written with Taylor Swift. Swift, who also lends her background vocals on the record, will appear with Pickler on the “Fearless Tour 2009.” The six-month tour will visit 52 cities in 38 states and provinces across the U.S. and Canada.


No Taylor Hicks again. I’ll be very surprised if they let him plug his new CD, like they have let so many others including people like Kanye and Lady Gaga that were never affiliated with American Idol.

For a while, in interviews, Taylor had been saying that he'd definitely be on Idol this year. Lately, he's been saying, "Well, the call hasn't come in." In other words, he's sounding less sure. It would've been perfect to have him on (or at least let him film his performance) last month, when he was in LA for "Grease." It's going to be a lot harder to fit it into his schedule now. He'd have to fly to LA and maybe cancel a Grease performance to do it. I doubt he'd do that.

Well, time will tell. It would be nice if they'd have him on during the May Sweeps, but again, it's going to be a bit hard to arrange things now.

Did you see the latest pictures of Pickler? She's been hitting the fashion circuit pretty hard lately. But Lord knows what this is all about. Honestly, if someone did this to my hair, I would think they hated me.

Idol's bias against Taylor Hicks in pretty despicable!

They thought Chris was going to win and when he voted off there was a huge effort to pimp McPhee.

McPhee sang OK and had the extreme “hotness” going for her but her chops and performances were no match for “Gray Charles!”

I hope Taylor's new CD is a hit in spite of Idol.

Don't forget, it took them an Oscar to finally recognize Jennifer Hudson!
