Send a message to Kellie that her act won't fly!

Why Pickler?

Quick Answer

Kellie is not a naive, inexperienced hayseed, but that doesn't stop her from pretending to be one on TV!

Longer Answer

We are disgusted with the way that Kellie is portraying herself and the city of Albemarle on national television. Enough with the act already.

"I never sang in front of people before."
"I've only sang in the shower before"
"What's a ballsey?"
"SAL-mon!"

Folks, Kellie Pickler isn't the inexperienced sweet country girl that she claims to be. In fact, she's an experienced performer with a history of entering singing contests and competing in beauty pageants.

Why do we care? Because we don't like being lied to! Kellie wants everyone to think that she's a babe in the woods, mispronouncing a new word each week ("Sal-Mon." "Kal-ee-Mahr-ee?") as she talks about now naive she is. It's a strategic move, that's it. And most are buying it. Kellie wants to be "America's Sweetheart," and she's laying it on thick to get there.

It's time that America wise up and send Pickler packing!

Kellie is an experienced performer
On American Idol, Kellie claimed that she was nervous because it was the first time she'd ever sang in front of people.

The Truth - Kellie Pickler is an experienced performer, having competed in both the Miss North Carolina pageant and "Gimme the Mic, Charlotte," a statewide American Idol-like singing competition sponsored by television station WSOC. One Albemarle, NC resident reports "Did any of you know she went to an expensive dance school?" (citation).

Pickler took second place in "Gimme the Mic," beating out close to 300 other singers to win a top spot. Even this wasn't her first experience performing - Pickler won the won the "Miss Stanley County" title at age 17. She went on to compete in the 2004 Miss North Carolina Pageant, where her talent was listed as (you guessed it) "Country Vocal."

Kellie Pickler even sang the national anthem at the grand opening of the Albemarle Wal-Mart!

Pickler at "Gimme the Mic"

People who saw the "Gimme the Mic, Charlotte" competition know that she's acting. On one popular internet message board, a user pondered "She didn't seem so dumb in the interveiws that they showed on the news report." Another user answered "That's because she's faking it on AI."

The half-truths and lies roll on and on

Kellie claimed that she's never worn fake eyelashes before. Really? She's been competing in and winning beauty pageants but she has never worn fake eyelashes? Give me a break.

Albemarle residents are insulted by her act

(quotations from Clyde's All Purpose Corner)

• "I'm from North Carolina and it makes me sick that this girl is representing us. Contrary to popular belief we eat salmon, spinach and calamari and we know the difference between a minx and a mink."
• "I apologize on behalf of Albemarle, NC. Please believe me when I say that Kellie Pickler does not stand for us (or at least doesn't represent me). Please do not resort to generalizing; we are not a lowly lot of inbred slack-jaws. "
• "As a Tar heel that comment sent me over the edge too, therefore the Pickler Tour Spinach Chop. There are hundreds of miles of cabbages and spinach around NC. Also, NC has some of the best public education in the country, so that act is insulting."
• "To make things worse and to make her hometown look like a bunch of country bumpkins, hicks or rednecks, her speech is mostly fake. She is a well spoken young lady and does not have that much of a southern drawl."

Do you hate Kellie?

We've had many people ask, "Why are you so mean to Kellie?" "Why are you picking on her?" "What has she ever done to you?" "Why do you hate her?" We don't hate Kellie Pickler. But when we see a person lying, we call her on it.
