Pickler has been charged with three felony charges of stealing a motor vehicle, and one charge of obtaining property through false pretenses. He is being held on a $26,000 bond in the Stanly County Jail.

47. Kelly, Hang in there! I am so glad you are making a life for yourself! You are not your father, You are Kelly!! I wish you the very best!

48. I once read that anybody can become a father/mother, but it takes someone special to be a daddy/mama. Thank God for her grandparents! They are very special people. I truly believe they're the reason Kellie has the strength and the wherewithall to get past this, too. Good Luck, Kellie and many happy days!

49. Like all of us, we have no control over what our parents do, but we still love them. Kelly is a very strong young lady and she will make it thru this also. KELLY KEEP ON KEEPING ON. WE LOVE YOU.

50. You go Kelly is a moron, Who cares that Carrie underwood sang "Jesus take the wheel" It has nothing to do with someone having a baby or not! It has a meaning behind it about being forgiven and asking for help when one cant do it alone. Listen to the song dork! Kellie Pickler is also a wonderful person and I feel for her, her dad came into her life and promised change and then messed up again, So sorry Kellie! God Bless you hon.

51. Carrie is as fake as the generic music she sings. That fake nicey nice crap Carrie always gives is enough to make someone puke. Is there anything about Carrie that's for real. Even when she sings it sounds fake, it doesn't even sound like she is relating to the word at all, or is it she can't because the song is fake as well.

I'm glad Kellie kept her music real and co-wrote many of the songs. Even the ones she didn't co-write at least she picked ones she can relate to. Doing so was a brilliant move because she kept her music real and it comes off as real when she sings. It's no wonder when she sings "I Wonder" that so many are touched by the emotion put into the song that it can bring them to tears. A singer can't do that unless they feel their music.

And when it comes to Kellie's personality being real she wouldn't be able to have the wit and charm she has if she didn't keep it real.

52. Why is this even news? Kelly Pickler is a talented girl and she is making something out of her life! You can't choose your family! God bless her and I hope she has a great life from here on... she desrves it for sure.

53. Why don't you all leave Pickler alone and go pick on Rosie O'D? Now there's a pig that deserves some name bashing!!!!!

54. Kellie....run, run like the wind! I know he's her father BUT he's nothing but trouble and WILL bring that girl right down. Any man can have a child, but not everyone can be a father and parent. She obviously owes him nothing because her grandfather was the one who raised her. It's evident that her "father" doesn't learn his lesson, and refuses to change, even for the sake of his relationship with his daughter. And I suppose he'll expect her to post his bail too! Take your granpa and move far away from this very dysfunctional man and live your life and enjoy whatever success you can.

55. What does Bo Pickler being arrested have to do with Carrie Underwood? C'mon people.....

Posted at 9:38AM on May 23rd 2007 by Sandy

56. I think Kelly Pickler is a "great" singer, and I can't say the same for "most" of the Idol winners! She and Carrie Underwood are the only ones who have impressed me in the slightest! All the rest are mediocre at best! For the most part, it's a popularity contest! Kelly has no control over the actions of her father, and should certainly not be judged by his wicked ways! I've been a professional singer/songwriter/musician for longer than Kelly and Carrie have been alive collectively, and I know when I hear bad notes! I haven't heard "any" from either of them! I'm sorry that Kelly is having to take the brunt of this! Keep up the good work, Kelly and Carrie! Michael T. Lawson

57. No one have control on what others do out of their lives. This is true about Kellie's parents, and immediate family for that matter. Kellie is the only one that matter, what she does with her body is entirely her business because the only thing that should affect us is her talent to sing, and the girl can sing. Focus, Focus, Focus! Let's start with ourselves.

58. kellie has a great future in country music...with parents like hers..who needs ememies?
she really needs to distance herself from them....and as far as "did she or didnt she" does anyone really care? its her body and if she did,then so be it. if she didnt then thats her choice too

59. I agree with those that think your parents should not be a reflection of who you are.
Kellie is not the only person in America that has had a breast enhancement. If you have the money and can make any changes in your body that make you feel more attractive or more self-confident in the public eye, GO FOR IT! Now, I won't have the same thought if she shaves her head.
What is the update on her grandfather....he seemed to love her soooooo much!
We knew her father was a loser when she was on American Idol. We voted because we liked her and what she brought to the stage.
Keep up the good work Kellie.

60. HEY EVERYBODY -- GIVE HER A BREAK !! -- she has already beat the odds -- what usually happens to a young child left by the mother and an idot for a father -- they usually end up in counseling for years with all sorts of "issues" that can't be reversed! The grandparents must have done a superior job of giving her what she needs -- she's making it and that's more than most of you can say !! ..... GO KELLI .....Good Luck Always -- you deserve it !
