Kimberley Locke, The "Based On A True Story" Era

[Modern Myth]

Poor girl.
So talented, yet a flop. :(

She's still done better than any other 3rd place contestant with the exception of Elliot. She has had a lot of singles do really well on AC- that's better than nothing- and she does well on the dance chart as well. Hell- I'd take it!!

I agree. She's aaaaalllmmmooossstt become a staple at AC radio...not bad for a AI "loser". Hopefully she comes out with another album soon

And say...isn't it time she release her 4th #1 SMASH X-mas single right about now?

Father's Day Weekend on GMC
Father's Day Weekend Faith & Fame Marathon and Messages Home from U.S. Troops Abroad on GMC this Sat. June 20

ATLANTA, June 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- Gospel Music Channel (GMC) (www.gospelmusicchannel.com) will present a marathon of its popular biography series Faith & Fame featuring top-selling artists who are fathers to celebrate Father's Day Weekend 2009. Throughout the marathon, GMC will present special messages home from United States soldiers stationed overseas wishing their Dads Happy Father's Day.

GMC is also prepping for the season premiere of the network's popular American Idol®-style talent search series Gospel Dream, to be seen Wednesday nights this summer at 10:00 P.M. ET/PT beginning on June 24.

Gospel Dream talent scouts combed the country this spring, auditioned thousands and decided upon the 36 contestants who will have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to pursue their dream of a musical career and do so in front of a national television audience in the fourth season of Gospel Dream.

The judges who will give one lucky person the chance to live their 'Gospel Dream' will be: Michelle Williams from the GRAMMY- winning group "Destiny's Child"; one of Gospel music's most prolific talents, Stellar Award winner J. Moss; and one of the music industry's most respected executives, Mitchell Solarek. Kimberley Locke, the first "American Idol®" alumnae to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts with a non-Idol single, will serve as co-host with Mike Kasem ("MTV's Top 20 Video Countdown" "American Top 10.") In addition, two major musical artists will serve as surprise coaches during the season. The theme for the show's fourth season: The Greatest Inspirational Songs of All Time.

Michelle Williams is in London in the West End production of "Chicago" where she plays the lead role.

this may sound stupid, but i wonder if she would get played in country music.

[desertflower]

She may get played on the radio, but she can't sell worth shit. Her last album sold 20-30,000 copies with all the radio play.

I heard Curb has dropped her, but I don't know if it's true. Curb has a rep for not dropping their artists for poor sales...so ???? She's still on the Curb Website but that doesn't mean much cause they take forever to update the site.

I always wondered why Kimberley didn't go the country route because her music sounded more country than pop/R&B. She probably would have had some success if she went in that direction.
