Lucky Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Pickler had an interesting story though. Her mother abandoned her as an infant and she was raised by grandparents (I think) with absolutely zero contact from her mother. When she became one of the AI finalists the mom came out of the woodwork of course, and Pickler publically said "no thank you". She recorded (wrote?) a hit song based on her life and feelings. I'm not a fan, but she is mildly talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
