Nikki McKibbin Strikes Back
TV Guide Online caught up with ‘American Idol’ finalist Nikki McKibbin who talked about her problems with RCA, who wanted to mold the rocker into a country crooner. “RCA said, ‘Well, you’re going to do country,’ and I said, ‘No, I’m not,’ and walked away from the deal. I think I was a little too strong-willed for their liking,” she said. “I wasn’t going to let them mold me into something that I wasn’t. I knew what I wanted to do.” Now she’s laying down rock tracks that she likens to “Stevie Nicks and Pat Benatar meet techno”… without a label.
