Kellie Pickler's Best Day on American Idol

Posted: April 9th, 2009 at 11:41 am  |  By: Alison Bonaguro  

Kellie PicklerIn what other universe could Frankie Avalon, Flo Rida, Kellie Pickler and eight pop star wannabes share the same stage? Only on American Idol. Avalon started Wednesday night's (April 8) show with his 1959 hit, "Venus." Flo Rida did "Right Round," his hip-hop remix of the '80s new wave tune from Dead or Alive, "You Spin Me Round." And then it was time for Pickler. Totally worth the wait. Host Ryan Seacrest introduced the season five Idol alum turned country sensation by saying, "To us, she will always be the roller-skating waitress from Albemarle, N.C." She did her latest, "Best Days of Your Life," that she wrote with Taylor Swift. And what I love about it is how the title sets you up for a song about looking back on good times, yet it is actually a very strong message to a recent ex. That message being, "Your loss, buddy." In a lacy champagne cocktail dress and longer, straighter hair, Pickler did an excellent job singling out the male judges when she sang, "It's just too bad, you've already had the best days of your life with me."

    This is a great song. Taylor and Kellie look beautiful in the video. Im just curios why CMT cant play 5hrs of videos without running any twice or more. Seems like everyday there are atleast 4 songs that are played 2 to 3 times in only 5 hrs. I know you have more videos than that in your archive. Stop wasting our time with the same videos over and over on the same show.

    I was sad that she didn’t do better with her performance. She seemed to be really nervous. Maybe it was being in front of the judges again.

    Hi.Thank you everyone for kind comments about KelliePickler.I did think Kelliep did great and rocked it on american idol last night.Though i think KellieP did look nervous!Also know one get mad please but simon cowell said her preffered kelliePickler to prvios season winner carrieunderwood when she was on idol.Also kelliePickler was one of simons favorites and Simon predicted KelliePickler would be in the top3.The reason i mention this is because simonc usually doesnt say anything nice about anyone but simon cowell even loves kelliePickler.Oh i think cmt does a great job of showing kelleiP videos.Just got to getcmtpurecountry to show kelleip videos more and kellie p and taylor s should do a duet.take careall.Have a great day all1

    Kellie was AMAZING on idol. Hope to see and hear more of her on the radio, she sure deserves it!!

  • JP says:

    Posted: April 9th, 2009 at 6:00 pm  

    She didn’t seem nervous when she was flirting with Simon.
    She needs to work on her vocals more and less on being a sex pot!

  • KPfan4ever says:

    Posted: April 9th, 2009 at 7:01 pm  

    She wasn’t flirting she was performing. They all do it! Why do SOME PEOPLE think Kellie is the only performer that flirts??? Hell I would too if I looked like her.

    kellie was amazing!

    She sounded horrible.Maybe hanging out with Taylor is what got her singing so bad.It’s rubbed off on her.

    I THINK KELLIE PICKLER WAS AWESOME LAST NIGHT. SHE STELL ROCKED THAT STAGE LAST NIGHT, JUST LIKE SHE DID ON IDOL IN 2005. WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE!! YOU GO GIRL!! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY #1 IDOL. JUST LOVE YOU GIRL!!1

  • FAYE says:

    Posted: April 9th, 2009 at 11:21 pm  

    I WILL ALWAYS LOVE KELLIE PICKLER, SHE IS A WONDERFUL CAREING PERSON, INSIDE AND OUT. YOU CAN BET THAT SHE WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY VOTES ON EVERY THING THAT SHE DOES. I ONLY WISH THAT SHE WOULD ALWAYS GET THE RECOGNITION THAT SHE SO DESERVES. SHE IS A GREAT PERFORMER, AND DESERVES SO MUCH MORE THAN SHE SOMETIMES GETS. GO KELLIE PICKLER!! I WILL ALWAYS STAND BY YOU.

    I’m a big fan of Kellie Pickler. I think she’s has a true country sound….somewhere between Reba and Dolly. I always thought Kellie sounded best when she did remakes such as “Walking After Midnight” and “Stand By Your Man.” Her new album is more country-pop but the songwriting didn’t really disappoint me. Although, I hope her next album is a little more country and hopefully she will do a cover of an old country song that was a hit in the past. She deserves great things and I hope she gets them. Take care.

    gratedivide I agree with you totally. Some time in life you have to let your childhood bff go and make a life for yourself. It is great to have friends and love them forever. There also becomes a time to grow up.

    Great song with a heavy message - you messed up for the last time loser - adios - ha
    I was hoping for more from the story/plot line of this video but the message is still very clear - you had your shot and you blew it.

    Kellie is beautiful in this video! I love her…

    KELLIE AND TAYLOR AWSOME VIDEO! I THINK SOME PEOPLE MEANING CARRIE FANS AND HERSELF ARE VERY JEALOUS THAT KELLIE DIDN’T DO A VIDEO WITH HER!! NOT THIS SONG BUT THERE WAS A SONG THAT CARRIE WANTED KELLIE IN IT AND WORD IS KELLIE SAID NOT RIGHT NOW SHE WAS SHOOTING THE LAST PART OF THE VIDEO WITH TAYLOR TO BAD CARRIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE KELLIE AND TAYLOR CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THEM ON TAYLOR’S TOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • serena says:

    Posted: April 24th, 2009 at 12:58 pm  

    hey Goldie…why are you stereotyping carrie’s fans for? i am insulted, since im a huge carrie fan and i am not jealous because kellie didnt work with carrie, what are we in 1st grade?!..i actually like both of them kellie and taylor i think there great girls and that song “the best days of your life” is going to be a hit!…by the way i never heard of carrie and kellie working together did i miss something?..hmmm but i think it would be amazing if they did collaborate on a song, how cool would that be?. by the way i dont think carrie would be jealous of kellie because kellie did not collaborate with her carrie has had a busy schedule herself i think she would have understood, i did however read that carrie had mentioned a all girl tour maybe in the future and since all three ladies are friends she would probably choose taylor and kellie to be in that tour since their all friends and respect and like each other that would be a fun experience for all of them…i dont believe that carrie or anyone of these girls would have a childish immature catty behavior they all seem so nice and sweet small town country girls…as for you you seem very judgemental and angry and maybe you are the one who needs to grow up…

  • serena says:

    Posted: April 24th, 2009 at 1:10 pm  

    one more thing i forgot to mention…this is about “miss kellie pickler” …i love carrie but lets keep it about pickler.

    why does carrie or taylor’s name always get mentioned in a kellie, taylor, or carrie post?..people treat them as if there enemies, i dont understand why people do that such as goldie, they try to make drama between them when in reality these ladies are friends they support and like other, theres no catfight going on, they are classy ladies.

    learn from them goldie?…

  • serena says:

    Posted: April 24th, 2009 at 1:11 pm  

    walterlines: no problem kellie is my girl..thats why im posting on here because i think she is so cool!

  • goldie says:

    Posted: April 25th, 2009 at 9:08 pm  

    serena I think you should grow up because I did hear carrie say that just before taylor’s video white horse came on cmt! she said she was planning something like a video with keliie so I THINK YOU SHOULD GET YOUR FACTS ALL TOGETHER BEFORE YOU CUT ME DOWN FOR STATING SOMETHING SHE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • john says:

    Posted: April 30th, 2009 at 5:23 pm  

    You people that thought Kellie sang poorly dont know anything about singing.You have to breath,and when your moving around as fast as she was you have to breathe more often,but the song is up tempo wich gives very few chances to cath your breat,she missed a few notes but thats performing live,and she is one heck of an entertainer,if she had stood studieo still to sing it people would be saying other things,get a life
