Oh! Thank you! We're all proud of her here in Oklahoma. She's one of our own even though the only relation I have to her is that I drive through her hometown of Checotah on my way to my wife's sister's house in Stigler.
I remember when she started, my daughter said there was a girl from Checotah on "Idol". I thought she was good, but I was surprised a Country girl could get as far as she did.
