Remember how I got trashed for not liking Kellie Pickler’s CD? It turns out that I’m not the only one who had a problem with the CD. Turns out Kellie’s not completely happy with it either…In an interview with “Entertainment Weekly,” Kelly said she wished she had taken a few more chances with her song choices. “You can’t go through life expecting to please everyone, because you’re gonna be let down. You have to ultimately be happy with what you see in the mirror. Yes, the fans are the ones that keep us employed. They voted me to where I am today, and I give them so much credit. But when I had songs pitched to me, I was so worried about certain lyrics in particular songs—like, ‘How is this mom gonna feel about her 5-year-old listening to this song?’ There’s a lot of songs that I really liked and didn’t put on the record, because I was so worried about what other people were gonna think, and I regret it.”
“You think about that kind of stuff, and you don’t want to upset anyone. But I do have some regrets about some songs I didn’t put on there. Maybe as I grow and make more records, my fans will grow with me and give me the chance to show certain sides of me that ‘Idol’ didn’t. Everything on this record is honest, every song on there I relate to, even if I didn’t write it. But I do want this next one to be a complete spin around, like ‘Wow, I didn’t know this about her.’ I want people to leave in shock—to think, really? I’m all about that. I like controversy.”
The “EW” article also mentioned that according to “The National Enquirer,” Kellie’s long-estranged mother is looking to reunite with her. Kellie’s hit, “I Wonder,” is about her mother abandoning her as a child…
