About
American Idol season five contestant Kellie Pickler found her way into the hearts of America with her ditzy responses to the questions American Idol put before her and the child-like enthusiasm she showed week after week. Although she didn't win, she did parlay her Idol experience into a bona fide country music career. Pickler was signed shortly after the show ended and released her debut, Small Town Girl, at the end of 2006. Her debut garnered three hit singles, "Red High Heels," "Things That Never Cross a Man's Mind" and "I Wonder." Two successful years later, Pickler released her sophomore effort, Kellie Pickler.
