Kellie Picker Returns Home To Albemarle

During a homecoming for ousted ‘American Idol’ finalist Kellie Picker in Albemarle, North Carolina, the singer rebelled against the tight restrictions set by the show’s producers. “I’m going to get in so much trouble for this,” she said, “but what are they going to do kick me off the show?” She then belted out a powerful rendition of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’.
