A new fan!

So i've heard of Kellie Pickler and one of her songs but man, this one hit gave me goose bumps. You can truly feel the depth of her emotion, such a powerful, personal song and so beautiful!

Because I have nothing better to do:
Pickler was born at the Stanly Memorial Hospital in Albemarle, North Carolina and was raised in Palestine, a small community outside of Albemarle[2]. Her mother, Cynthia Morton, gave birth to her at age 18 and abandoned her when she was two years old,[3] and her father, Clyde "Bo" Pickler, Jr., described by Kellie as having had a lifetime problem with drugs and alcohol, served a 3-year, 9-month prison sentence at Florida State Prison for aggravated assault and battery stemming from a 2003 stabbing incident.[4] He was released on May 6, 2006, a week after his daughter was eliminated from American Idol.

Her parents separated on June 29, 1988, and her mother, who was frequently charged for writing bad checks and then convicted in 1988 for drug prescription forgery, disappeared from her life a year later in 1989. In 1992, Morton returned to Albemarle but did not make contact with her daughter until March 1995 when Bo was convicted of armed robbery, Morton was granted custody of Kellie but was abusive. After a court filing in 1997, the child's paternal grandparents became her legal guardians. Morton, who was a native of Fayetteville, North Carolina, is known to have lived in the states of California, Louisiana, and Colorado, and has once held a job in Alexandria, Virginia, but she is officially missing.[3]

Pickler was raised by her grandfather, Clyde Pickler Sr., who worked as an electrician, and her grandmother, Faye Pickler, until her grandmother's death in January 2002. She continued to live with her grandfather and her younger brother Eric until she became a contestant on Idol.

Poor girl!!!
