Kellie Pickler has been on tour with Brad Paisley and things are going great. CMT.com reviewed a show recently and had the following to say: “Kellie Pickler… has the pleasantly twangy voice of Pam Tillis and — it must be said — the curves of Dolly Parton. Anybody would notice this, no matter where they were sitting. A former finalist on American Idol, Pickler sings great, taking on “9 to 5″ with a lot of sass. However, the young guys in my section couldn’t contain their giggles every time she leaned all the way over to shake hands with fans in the front row. Watch out! Still, Pickler nailed “I Wonder,” even as she choked up on the last line (”your little girl is off to Tennessee”). The folks in the rafters couldn’t always understand her stage banter, whether because of her nerves or the sound system, but she proved to be quite charming nonetheless.”
Good for you, Kellie!
