The finale of Season 16 of Dancing With The Stars starts Monday night. I want to encourage you all to cheer and root and vote for Kellie Pickler.
Kellie is an alumnus of American Idol (she finished 6th in Season 5) but has been more successful than most AI winners. She was basically abandoned as a child and was raised by her grandparents. She is 26 years old from Albemarle North Carolina. She is also so sweet she will give you diabetes.
(Not to mention she is a close friend of Taylor Swift.)
Here’s a recap of Kellie’s career:
(I love the way she talks right over Simon Cowell)
This one’s a tear-jerker:

The Crawdad Hole 
armed forces day music
I had to post a Joni James song. My husband used to tell me how he would listen to her when he was in Korea
MYIQ…..I don’t know if you saw my post in the last thread. The graduation is in Santa Barbara, LOL!! UC Santa Barbara.

My sister went to Point Loma Nazarene college in San Diego. Some of the best surfing in the continental US is just below the guys’ dorms.
Gulf War
Iraq war
Afghanistan war
You know what I love? That this cynical, jaded Klown loves Kellie Pickler.
She’s also an amazing dancer.
STOP THE MUSIC ! (just kidding, sounded better than BREAKING on a music thread đŸ˜‰ )
The Virginia GOP has officially fallen to the Tea Party by nominating Ken Cuccinelli for Gov (as AG was the first to go after Obamacare’s mandates as unconstitutional) and EW Jackson for Lt. Gov. Whoa!
Ok, back to your regular scheduled programming….. đŸ˜€
I hear banjo music.
Jackson’s a sweetheart, damn those racist tea partiers đŸ˜‰
Ewweeeeee! There’s some trembling and denying going on tonight in EGOPville.
Kellie is adorable. Unfortunately TPTB paired her with that ass Derek Hough — he always gets a celebrity with better potential:dance skills than the other pros & the judges favor him:overscore him such that there is a backlash among the DWTS viewership. IOW I’m not sure if Kellie’s sweetness can overcome Derek’s smugness with voters. (in fact the production manipulation to get them into the finals has been obvious, not just with the usual overscoring the judges give Derek while underscoring the others but they actually made them “exempt” from elimination 2 weeks back — something that has *never* been done on DWTS before).
I didn’t get that exemption thing – I could see giving one couple immunity each week until the final, but why just that one time?
I know — that “exemption” ploy by production has *never* been done before. Rumor is that Kellie’s fans were not coming through for her (or, put another way, weren’t enough to overcome the anti-Derek vote) and production was super worried about “Golden Boy” not making it to the semi-finals & finals so they concocted the “exemption” bullshit.
Used to sing this to my daughter from the time she was about 3 or 4. She still melts when I start singing it.
I could have left that Powerball ticket in the trash.
BTW, Pickler is cute as a button. I watched all the videos you posted.
