For years, I thought Kellie Pickler’s big personality kind of overshadowed her big powerful voice. But on this performance of CMT’s Studio 330 Sessions, she put that big personality on the back burner for a while so that her vocals can be the star. She sings her heart and soul out on “Makin’ Me Fall in Love Again” (which she says is about the good side of love), then “Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You” and “Best Days of Your Life” (the one she says she wrote with Taylor Swift while they were touring with Brad Paisley). Then she does “Don’t Close Your Eyes” from her all-time favorite classic country singer Keith Whitley. She sounds phenomenal on each one. But she does let her quirky side come out a little in the interview at the end when she talks about her first cassette tape (George Strait) and her current cell phone ring tone (Hank Williams‘ “My Bucket’s Got a Hole in It”). Her best anecdote is about her first concert at 16. She and a friend drove to Charlotte, N.C., to see Kenny Chesney and decorated a Honda to say, “Honk if you love Kenny Chesney.” I’ve seen hundred of cars like that in concert parking lots, so it’s funny to think that just about seven years ago, that could have been Pickler’s.

Yes,Kellie pickler,s big powerful voice does shine in studio 330. I love all of these songs that she sings,but I would have too say that,Don,t close your eyes,that she sings by Keith Whitley,I think is by far her very best.She just sings it with such a powerfull voice. I would just love too see her make a video from this one. I just love Kellie Pickler!!!!
Wouldn’t know, as a female, that’s not why I like her.
Love Kellie, but you’re right, her great vocals tend to play second fiddle to her charming, and yes,quirky personality.
I like her and she has good voice; she just needs good promotion.
Echo your comments in your blog. Kellie is coming into her own as a country artist. The quirky side of her personality adds to charm, but does not take away from her talent. Looking forward to more of Kellie in the years to come. Her voice is like fine wine…better with aging
All the best!
