Title: Kellie Pickler
Post by: Steveau on July 17, 2006, 04:09:53 pm

I figured since I loved her on AI I should be the first to post about her. Apparently she has signed a record deal with a Simon Fuller label and will have a single out in September and an album in November. They picked Pickler!  :lol:

LOS ANGELES - Bubbly blonde "American Idol" finalist Kellie Pickler has landed a record deal with country label BNA Records and 19 Recordings, the label founded by "Idol" creator Simon Fuller.

First up for the 20-year-old North Carolina native, whom "Idol" judge Simon Cowell once deemed a "naughty little minx," will be a single scheduled for release in September. Her debut album will arrive Nov. 14.

"I've always dreamed of getting a record deal, so now my dream has come true!" Pickler said in a statement released Monday by Sony BMG, parent company of the Nashville-based BNA.

Pickler is currently on the "American Idols Live" cross-country tour and "will record the album in between tour dates," according to the statement.

Her twangy rendition of        Patsy Cline's "Walkin' After Midnight" can be heard on the "American Idol: Season Five" compilation CD.

Other "Idol" alums signed to 19 Recordings include fellow season-five finalist Chris Daughtry and past winners        Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia and        Ruben Studdard.

Of all the Idol fluff, I kinda liked her. At least I'm open to sampling what she puts out here soon.

So don't watch the show, but she was co hosting on "The View" yesterday. She's way country, pretty funny. She sang a bit, sounded ok nothing great.

I am surprised it took this long for someone to make a thread about her  :lol:. I'd definitely give her single/album a chance.  :)

I don't like Simon Fuller...Kellie's wonderful though; my choices for the top three were Mandisa, Paris, and Kellie.

I just bought it!
I didn't know it was out today but I dropped by BestBuy, saw it and since it was 9.99, I went for it!
I'm listening to it right now: it's pop-country-ish, I like it so far!
She looks very different on the pics inside the booklet, I was like o_O is that Kellie?

Thanks Steve!
Her performance on the Today show was fun: she kept making funny faces when she was singing! It was cute though.
