I didn't watch it, but my husband said that the cop was good and a girlfriend said that the gal from Vonore was more like Dolly Parton than Dolly Parton. I don't think she met she looked like her but that she was real old-school country.

The Vonore girl is OLD SCHOOL country. Like, I didn't even know people had that accent anymore. I love it, reminds me of my family especially the older generations that've passed on.

That is what my friend said! What a hoot!

I wonder if she is going to be the next Kellie Pickler?

That girl from Vonore was so excited! She was going on an "areeo plane", a "real areeo plane" and was going to eat peanuts and everything. That is what she said and was the happiest about when they told her she was going through to the next round. I was so thrilled for that little girl! Her accent was so deep and she did have that true Patsy Cline voice. Her Mother was just beside herself. I hope Hollywood doesn't corrupt/change her sweetness.
The Cop was really good too. So far a good representation of TN this season I think.


( But I have a feeling we may have to move this thread to the TV sub forum soon. )

Aww. She sounds so sweet. I am really, really sorry that I missed that. I am going to see if there are some clips of them on the internet.

Maybe we could put this in a different thread but keep it under Knoxville, since they are from here? That way we can keep up with them? Pretty please?

OK, all merged, yack away about our TN reps in American Idol!

Here ya go Hik: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEDah8YZNeQ
It doesn't show her reaction after, when she went out and told mom and talked about the plane, but you can hear her sing.

Add/Edit:

Wait! Watch this one, it has her back story and after the audition, how thrilled she was. Looks like a fun bridge in Vonore too.
