singer 1910 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 04-27-06, 07:01 AM (EST) "So Long, Pickle" There is a God. I LOVED that they gave her a "talk out," rather than a "sing out." The very idea that anyone would suggest that The Pickles' performance was even mildly comparable to Paris's performance is laughable. The Pickle has her own league of suckitude. No one compares. Not even William Hung. I'm glad the voters shot that dawg and put it out of its misery. --Singer   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

imagma 33 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 04-27-06, 07:17 AM (EST) 1. "RE: So Long, Pickle" Agree 100%. In the beginning - I liked her. She is pretty and she has a good voice. I do not know her so I can not judge - but if the "country-hick - dumb blonde" act is an act . . . . . she screwed up a chance to make it big. She got on everyones nerves. I never knew what was going to come out of her mouth. She was embarrasing. If the "country-hick dumb blonde" impression she gave is real - she should think about taking some speech and etiquite classes. Saying the first thing that comes to mind made her look like a jack-#####. Words to the Wise KP: Knowing what to say and when to say it may have made a difference. A good voice and pretty face will get you just so far . . . . . . . and that was not far enough. The end of the road came sooner than you thought it would.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

CattyChat 3379 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 04-27-06, 07:24 AM (EST) 2. "RE: So Long, Pickle" Very harsh. I know most people on these boards, for some reason, act as though Kellie was Public Enemy No. 1 and as though she killed your family pet or something to get the kind of really nasty comments I have read. I have to say that she handled herself with class last night. She knew she deserved to be in the bottom 2 and she was genuinely happy for her experience. I'm glad she was able to say her thanks. I was touched to see tears in all the remaining contestants eyes INCLUDING the guys which futher substantiates my feelings that Kellie is a nice, sweet girl who is well-liked. It was her time to go, as she is definitely a better singer/performer than Ace and a couple others that went before her, but Kellie was out of her league compared to the likes of Chris, Taylor, Katharine, Elliott and Paris. Kellie needs a good vocal coach if she wants to pursue a singing career and I believe she will get that. I think Kellie charmed the people who met her & got to know her and I am sure she'll do well for herself. I expect to read many nasty things on these boards about Kellie and I want to say my peace that I don't think she deserves many of the vile comments about her. She was weaker than the rest, but she has talent, she deserved her spot in the top 12, she is better than many others who have made it to the top 12 in the past, comparing her to William Hung is ridiculous and most importantly, she is a sweet girl who doesn't deserve the shots at her character. Good luck, Kellie and great job in the way you handled yourself last night. It's obvious your fellow competitors really liked you and you can hold your head high.

PagongRatEater 12973 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-27-06, 08:01 AM (EST) 3. "RE: So Long, Pickle" I agree 100%. There is no question that Kelli deserved to be in this competition and there is no question that she deserved to go last night (although I would have preferred to see Paris go this week and Kelli go next. It never ceases to amaze me to see the level of personal invective for fellow human being that you sometimes see on these boards. Believe it or not, Kelli is an actual person with real feelings who tried her best and fell a little short...and for that she somehow deserves to be mocked, villified and hated? It seems indecent to me. She didn't kill cats or slap her spouse around (Jonathan), she acted dumb and tried to 'package' herself - in which the show was totally complicit. I think it was time for Kelli to go and I know that this isn't the end of the road for her. She didn't deserve to win, but she doesn't deserve your hatred. Of course, maybe I'm tainted by the fact that my 6 year old was inconsolably crying after they voted her off, but maybe that just makes her more human to me.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

She is a much better singer than she is being given credit for being. If you listen to her performances, you can tell she has as much natural talent as anyone of the five remaining contestants. Skill is where she is lacking - she doesn't have the vocal training (or experience) to push her to the next level. Yes it was her time to go, but she deserved to make Final 12 and it was not egregious that she didn't leave before last night.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Kellie was IN NO WAY as bad as William Hung, or even Ace or Lisa or the others that went first. She's a good singer that deserved to be in the competition. She just got in a bit over her head as the weeks went by, and it was time to go. And I didn't get the impression that they didn't want her to sing out like the others because she was so bad. I thought she just didn't stop talking long before the show went off. She may very well have sung after the show ended. Sig by Arkie!! Holey carp! My blog! MySpace!

No. Hate is a very strong word and I don't know her enough to hate her. I think people throw that word around too lightly.

" >>Did anyone else get the impression that the other contestants were not fond of her?<< Not at ALL. I did notice that she & Paris were standing much further apart than the other pairs...and I rewound to see what had happened when they first came together. KELLIE reached out to hug Paris. Then Paris stepped aside. Hmmm, I thought, what's going on here? Someone had posted a rumor on these boards that Kellie & Kat were no longer getting along...I wondered if it was a Kellie thing, or a Paris thing. Then at the end, when she had been eliminated, they showed both Kat & Elliott in tears. At least those two, may have shown more & I missed it - I didn't rewind that part. That told me what I needed to know -- Kellie was well liked, Paris had a problem.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Agree totally. Technically and stylistically, she cannot touch the remaining contestants (nor some that went before her). Not even remotely. Her phrasing, tonal quality, diction, expression, musicianship--all were completely off in the last song that she sang. No amount of role-playing can cover up for those deficiencies. Elliott may lose votes because of his appearance in the eyes of some voters, but his basic musical gift keeps him in the competition. Taylor may have vocal challenges from time to time, but his basic gift for showmanship keeps him in the competition. Kat, Paris and Chris have their limitations, but none of them are bad musicians. And all of them are natural singers. Apparently, America recognizes that. --Singer   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I saw her improvement in her performances. But like many have mentioned she was out of her league when we got to this point. She had her shining moments, and deserved to be there.

Reeflex7 187 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 04-27-06, 11:47 AM (EST) 25. "RE: So Long, Pickle" The William Hung comparison is a little over the top, but it was obvious before they even got to the top 12 that Kellie wasn't in the same class vocally as most of the others. I can't name one Kellie performance that dazzled. Many were okay, not great. There were several that fizzled (Stevie Wonder week, Queen week, that past two weeks). While she can carry a tune when she's on, she never quite relaxed on stage and it affected her showmanship and her pitch. She struck me as someone who has a nice voice but needs to learn control over it. When they were still in the top 24, Simon made comments after Kellie sang a country song ("Something to Talk About", I think) that pretty much summed it up: he said that her singing wasn't the greatest, but her personality would make America fall in love with her and she would fly through on that. That was the week of the "calimari" comment. Kellie seemed to understand this and really laid it on thick with the naive Southern girl charm. This enabled her to escape a lot of weeks where others would been booted for similar performances. No, she's not talentless...far from it. But she coasted on this personality thing a lot longer that she should have IMO, and this week her luck finally ran out.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I think she showed alot of class last night. I would have preferred to see Kellie stay at least another week over Paris. Paris just does nothing for me, boring, boring, boring. But que sera.. I personally hope Kellie has a ball in Hollywood this week and goes on to better and bigger things. She's taken a huge step out of Albermarle.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

She should have gone a couple of weeks ago. As for all that being an act - maybe a part of it was, but remember that interview with her grandfather and brother? Those weren't acts. Her roots really are salt of the earth backwoods. I've heard that Kellie has been in many beauty pageants, which would explain the contrast between her onstage, overly made up performances and her rural background. She wasn't new to a stage. As for calimari and sal-mon, surely there are restaurants in her home town with those items on the menu?! I think she was just trying on a major flirt with the AI audience, and she bombed, big time. I wish her well. AI was probably her best bet out of her home town, if she doesn't have a college education. I think if she does make it in the music industry that she'll be a flash in the pan. She needs voice lessons before she does anything else. Everyone is entitled to my opinion.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: So Long, Pickle" Yeah she wasn't such a strong singer,,but she did manage to make it pass thousands,,,,,and despite how others feel about her I still find her a likeable girl,,,little OD'ing in the the naive department maybe but that contributed to her charm. I think she just might end up on some tv program in the near future.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Twinkles 324 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 05-02-06, 04:21 AM (EST) 40. "RE: So Long, Pickle" I really don't get the logic here. Didn't we get the backstory that she's from a family without much money? Do we know that they frequent seafood restaurants? I hadn't heard of calamari til I was in my early 20's and I'm from L.A. and moved to a city famous for seafood at 17. I happened to find out about it because someone ordered it at the same table and I asked what it was. I could see if someone said her family ran a salmon fishery or she waitressed at the restaurant. Just because there are restaurants doesn't mean she's ever been or that the people she knows pronounce salmon correctly. IIRC a few southerners I've met put a little of the "l" sound in the word salmon whether they eat it or not.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Iconoclastic 151 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 05-02-06, 12:31 PM (EST) 42. "RE: So Long, Pickle" But there in lies the rub. I had calamari by the time I was 10 and can't ever remember a time where I didn't know what salmon was. Problem is that I'm from NORTH DAKOTA. When I see Pickler playing up the ugliest stereotypes of rural white trash I feel like a black person would if Paris came out saying "Yes boss!" I'm originally from a much more isolated and rural setting than Kellie and I never knew anyone that ignorant. I know what rural folks are like and believe me, Kellie overplayed it.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: So Long, Pickle" Well, I lived in NW Montana for 15 years and I met NUMEROUS people who had never heard of calamari along with a whole list of other things that someone from Philadelphia grew up with. You can't put people in such simple little boxes and expect that they should act a certain way & know certain things. People are I.N.D.I.V.I.D.U.A.L.S. We are not a country of clones (thank GOD).

geg6 14941 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-02-06, 03:22 PM (EST) 45. "RE: So Long, Pickle" I, too, have a bit of difficulty believing that anyone does not know what salmon is or how to pronounce it. In fact, I simply don't believe it. Perhaps calimari, but probably not that either as I read (wish I could remember which website) that she was a waitress at a local restaurant that featured calimari on the menu. As do pretty much any Italian restaurants I've ever been to. Goddess of the Steeler Nation   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

priestdi 378 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 05-09-06, 01:27 PM (EST) 48. "RE: So Long, Pickle" I grew up in a white, upper-middle class family, and we moved a lot, so I was in various geographic regions. But we did steak, not fish, as a rule. I don't think I ate salmon until I was well out of college. Don't know where I would have heard anyone say it out loud, either. only time anyone in my family ever ordered fish in a restaurant was the year we lived near a fish & chips place on lake chautauqua. what would that have been, trout? amd I hated it, lol. same with calimari -- I don't think I was sure what that was it was until well after I finished graduate school. and I think I've only actually eaten it once. I'm really, really gratified to see how many people here spoke up for Kellie, and against the sorts of cynical, cruel and judgemental bashing that so many web boards seem to validate. cruelty and negatively are soo much in vogue these days. and Simon glorifies it, unfortunately, and gets hero treatment for it.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I'm much more cruel, cynical, and judgmental IRL than I am on the boards. But I think Kellie stunk at both her acting and her singing no matter which identity I'm using. I'm just meaner about it IRL.

singer 1910 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 05-15-06, 03:45 PM (EST) 53. "Hi, okaychatt!" LAST EDITED ON 05-15-06 AT 03:48 PM (EST) Great hearing from you. Your take on things make sense to me. I'll add that backwoods and salt of the earth and country do not equal stupid, especially in an age of technology. That's why I was put off by the dumb act. But there may be more to her personality than we saw on the show. In recent weeks, I read that she visited cancer kids in a NY hospital and refused to sing for them. Her excuse was that she had an important gig the next day or something like that. (Ace and Mandisa and other ousted participants made solo visits to the same hospital, and they sang for the terminally ill kids. Ace sang at least 6 songs. So American Idol didn't keep anyone from singing. Not singing was That Pickle's choice.) It wouldn't have hurt her to sing "London Bridge is Falling Down" or "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." The kids would have loved it. What she ended up doing by not singing for them was making some of the nurses angry, and they outed her as a calculating, not nice person on another website. I think that she is probably not as stupid as she appeared on the show. I also think that she was not smart enough to figure out that singing for those kids would help her image, even if she didn't really care about them. --Singer Edited for spelling.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: So Long, Pickle" Kellie was interviewed on a local radio station here yesterday morning and let me just say it was a totally different Pickle. Good word usage, stronge sentence structure and nice insights. Made me believe more than ever that her "stupidity" on the show was at least in part an act. It got her to top 6 though so I guess good work. *golf clap* Siggy thanks to Syren!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: So Long, Pickle" LAST EDITED ON 05-09-06 AT 03:33 PM (EST) but I never thought she acted "stupid" on the show. there's a HUGE difference between being naive/unworldly and being stupid. I think the naivete was mostly real, but she was told to milk it. she just never seemed unintelligent, to me personally. and apparently she's not, either. lol. so there ya go.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
