8/15: Kimberley Locke coming 8/19

Kimberley Locke.jpg

If you haven’t seen season two third place finisher Kimberley Locke in awhile, here’s your chance — for free! Her first name is frequently misspelled and it is on the Star 94 Web site. Oh, well. I’ve done it, too!

Here’s the link.

Star 94 presents Petapalooza, the FIRST EVER “pet party in the park,” Saturday August 19th at Suwanee Town Center Park. Bring your pet out for a full day of fun, clinics, dog events…plus live music from both local talent and Kimberly[sic] Locke, food vendors, Angie Woods the Atlanta Dog Whisperer, Ben & Jerry’s, interactive displays, Pet adoptions with Southern Hope Humane Society and more. The event is FREE and festivities begin at 3:00 pm with live music to start at 5:30pm. Check back for the complete lineup of all the bands closer to the date.

Locke hits the stage at 9:30 p.m.

I spoke to her only once before at a Divas Rock concert in December 2004 at the Atlanta Civic Center (also featuring Deborah Cox, RuPaul and Deborah Gibson). She didn’t seem too thrilled about talking about “Idol,” like she really wanted to put it behind her. I wonder if she still feels the same way. I’ll try to get an interview with her and see how it plays out.

Also, did anyone catch George Huff opening for Blind Boys of Alabama last Thursday at Atlanta Botanical Gardens?

Good Morning Everyone. She does look good. I’ve always loved her hair. I remember that one song she did a couple years ago, ‘7 Days’ or something like that. I actually liked it and was waiting to hear more from her and never did. That might be worth the gas.

Morning Jex, Shaun and Carla. I liked Kimberley and hoped that her career would have been bigger. She could really sing.

Rodney, what ever happened to Vonzell Solomon from Fort Myers, Florida??? Did she go back to delivering mail?

What is she doing??? She came in third and I haven’t heard from her since. She wasn’t my favorite that season (nobody wasn’t) but she had spunk.

By Shaun

I saw the very last of it, and they all sang together, Matt, Makayla, vonzell, Kimberly caldwell, Anthony Federow and tamyra Gray was on there too, has she sank to that level?

That’s it Shaun! Thanks. That was a really nice song.

By Carla

Morning. Alright chick!!!! It’s good to see her feeling sexy because I remember she had some weight issues while on the show. Don’t think I’ll attend. (I don’t do dogs) But she has a great voice.

By Jex

Dang, Carla. She may have had some weight issues, but you didn’t have to call her a dog! Just kidding.

She’s still got meat on her, it’s just well disguised.

By shay

Me either Carla. The closest I get to dogs is my baby’s fake dog he won at the fair last year. Oh that reminds me, I can’t wait to get my funnel cake this year!!!! Gwinnett County Fair, here I come!!

By Carla

I used to love going to the fair every year back home. That was one of the highlights of the year. Does anyone go to the state fair in Perry?

Wasn’t Tamyra Gray in a movie or television series? I remember seeing her and saying “That’s the girl from Idol”. I thought she would be doing a lot by now.

By Carla

She was on that show on Fox for a minute with Jason Priestly. I forget the name. She had a role on Las Vegas last season too.

Carla, I go some times when I feel like making the drive. My dad is from Perry, GA. I used to hate going down there. They had no toilet and we had to use an outhouse when I was like 5 years old. nd no, I am not related to greg.

Jex, she was in the “Gospel” which sucked to me and then she did one of those t.v. series shows. Can’t remember the name.

is the gw co fair coming soon? we go every year, but I cant remember the dates… Tamyra started off with a promising career, but I dont know what happened. Kimberley got better lookign as the season progressed, lost the glasses, curly hair and some weight.

By Shaun

Now, she is just straight out Jenna James.

By Jex

August 15, 2006 9:13 AM | Link to this

LOL @ shay! That is TOO funny. No wonder you were too crazy about greg when he started with the outhouse jokes.

By shay

August 15, 2006 9:18 AM | Link to this

That’s right Jex. There ain’t nothin’ funny about having to pee in a wooden outhouse where it smells like 6 dead dogs and two cats. I used to hold it most of the times until we got back to Atlanta so you can probably imagine how my bladder was back then.

By Carla

August 15, 2006 9:34 AM | Link to this

LOL

By Jex

August 15, 2006 9:36 AM | Link to this

I hear you shay. I’ve never had to use an outhouse, but on cold, rainy nights, I thank God for indoor plumbing. That’s the best thing since oxygen if you ask me.

Do you all remember kimberley’s version of somewhere over the rainbow?

By shay

August 15, 2006 9:50 AM | Link to this

yep Shaun, I thought she did well.

By Carla

August 15, 2006 9:56 AM | Link to this

It was her signature song. Which is why I can’t understand why Simon chose it for Kat. When I hear that song, I identify it with Kimberley Locke.

By Jex

August 15, 2006 10:03 AM | Link to this

I thought Kimberley did well with SOTR. If I remember correctly, she gave me goose bumps. I didn’t get that from Kat’s version. But nothing from Idol has moved me like Fantasia’s Summertime.

By Shaun

August 15, 2006 10:05 AM | Link to this

Ok, I am getting ready to take y’all back! Do you all remember during that season when they got to la, Frenchie Davis was trying to find some girls to sing with her for the group performance and none of them would sing with her (i guess they felt her voice was too powerful) but Kimberley said, “I will sing with you” and they sang “band of gold” and sounded great together!

By Carla

August 15, 2006 10:12 AM | Link to this

Frenchie would have won that year had she continued in the competition. Her voice was so far superior to anyone else’s. Is she still doing Broadway?

By Shaun

August 15, 2006 10:15 AM | Link to this

I dont know Carla, she was doing RENT or was it CATS?

By Carla

August 15, 2006 10:22 AM | Link to this

Rent. I love that show.

By Apple Bottom

August 15, 2006 10:23 AM | Link to this

Frenchie was doing RENT but i think i heard they’d cast someone else, she has a great voice and i hope things are going well for her. Kimberly looks nice, but her pose is kind of playboyish (is that a word, lol)

By Jex

August 15, 2006 10:31 AM | Link to this

I remember that rendition of Band of Gold and I think she would have won hands down. I think that’s why they made a big deal out of that little modeling thing.

Apple Bottom, I think you can put -ish on the end of any word and make it a word. i.e., I would like my next husband to be BradPittish.

Yeah Shaun, but at least you mentioned Wonder. Where did I get ‘7 days’ from? That ain’t got nuthin’ to do with the song.

shay, I am totally and most assuredly upset that he let that nasty azz Somethin’ stay on that show after what she did. That was inexcusable.

Nibblz gets on my nerves with that goofy lisp, but there is one that looks like a serious drag queen. I forgot her name, but she has long, straight black hair and bangs and she looka like a man! She looks just like the wrestler, China Doll.

Carla it’s the crazy Celebreality show Flavor of Love where 20 women try to win over Flava Flav (Public Enemy). It’s a spin off from Stange Love which spun off from Surreal Life. That explains the degradation and shamelessness. But I love it!!
