Ok, first off I have to say that all this season we have been told to stay away from this message board, and I now know the reason, it's because some of you people can be downright hateful. I am writing this message because I just can't stand some of the comments that some of you are writeing about Nicole. I have spent alot of time with her and I can assure you that she is probably the most talented all around musicians on this show, she has worked her ass off and deserves to be where she is at. This is not about her being female, or a mother or wife. This is about her as a musician. Please respect her and the hard work she has put into this. I will admit that the song she was Talked Into Doing last tuesday wasn't her style, but I will assure you, give that girl a chance and she is gonna make you proud I promise. Nicole may not be the cookie cutter Nashville Star Type but you wait and see, The girl is bad! I just wanted to tell ya Nicole if you do happen to read this, I love you and my fans better love you if they are smart, you have great fans you are making them proud for sure darlin, you make me proud!

Thank you so much for writing this post. It was really getting crazy & rude in here. People just don't think of other peoples feelings. There is somethings that you say out loud and somethings you keep to yourselves. I couldn't believe people on here would come to Nicoles own forum and bash her! So thank you for voicing your opinion!

Good luck to you & your career! Nicole has said some wonderful things about you.

Jared, thanks so much for posting this. This shows sooooooo much class and what kind of person you are, that you would come on here and give support to your friend that you made through the show. All of you deserved to be on show, and I hope that this experience has helped each of you in many different ways. I hope that you've all enjoyed it for all that it's worth, and that you've all been able to grow as artists (and people) because of it. I admire all of you for getting up there, following your dreams and sharing your talent with us all....it takes a lot of guts and determination to do what you all are doing. Unfortunately, there can only be one winner, but hopefully, for each of you, this experience will help you in the furthering of your dreams in the music industry. I think people forget that you guys and anybody that appears on tv or radio, are real people with real feelings. I don't understand it, but it just seems to be the case. Why some people want to come on here and say hurtful things about Nicole or any of you guys, is beyond me. None of you deserve that kind of poor treatment. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck, and thanks again for posting your support.

Jared~
I was sorry to see your number come up last Tuesday. Guess it is the "Nature of the Beast" and the process of elimination. You have much to offer the music world and I wish you the best.
By posting your feelings in Nicole's message board, you have shown that you are a gentleman and have much more tact than a certain judge had for you over the past weeks! Thanks for your kind comments. I do hope Nicole will read your post at some point.
Hang in there and just keep singin'!

You know you would be better off not coming to the boards. It is a battle sometimes.

I can only say that I am sorry that Jared is still not in this as can you imagine the concert of the final 5? Shot let all 10 go on tour. That would make everyone happy plus the sales would go up even more.

I love Nicole. I think she is awesome. I will be excited to see her on tour with the group.

Good luck to all the contestants left and I miss the ones that have gone... Jared the most...

Very classy post by Jared. Unfortunately the whole board gets a bad name because of some out of control "fans".
If you notice most of those type of posters are the "one shot wonders" they zoom in and drop their poison and run.

Very interesting about the part Jared underlined about being "talked" into doing a song. Seems like there is all kinds of control that goes on, not the least of it the judges' comments each week.

I think the tour will give Nicole a chanse to show more of what she feels confident in doing, not what someone tells her to do.

I'm not buying it. I do not believe this was written by Jared Ashley. I'll run it by Mr. Admin

You have a fan in Texas Jared! I'll be looking for your music. Hey maybe a great song will come out of your experience! Donna

Can't say for sure, but it probably is him. I personally heard another contestant say that she was talked into singing that song as well. They are trying to manipulate with judges comments, scripts, clothing, etc.

Thanks! I was just leary because we have had imposters before. It was BIG of Jared to support a fellow contestant.

Wow, what class! Thanks for the post Jared, it was very considerate and I hope some people take your advice. Good luck with your music career (and everything else)!

Jared-

Thank you so much for your post. I had actually stopped responding to the board after the down right nastiness of a select few uneducated, tactless, meanspirited people last week.
I met Jared when I went to Nashville to support Nicole. He was sweet, classy and all around great person (thanks for the ride on your tourbus!)

I also know what he said about being told what to sing is true. If anyone out there actually thinks "reality TV" is real better think again. Nicole was obviously not comfortable with that song because it wasn't her choice!

Nicole is incredibly talented, as are the others, and she will be just fine!

Love you Nicole- keep on rockin! Can't wait to see the show this week.

The past two weeks it's been worse but I think it really started getting ugly over the weekend.

As I said before for Jared....I wish him all the best and think he is very high class guy.

The post was definitely written by Jared. He was upset at the fact that so many people were bashing Nicole and wanted to have a voice on the whole subject.
Jared is definitely one of the classiest people that I know and is a true friend to the people that mean the most to him in his life.
Nicole is wonderful person and I'm grateful that I have had a chance to spend a little time with her. She definitely doesn't deserve the lashing she is taking here for nothing more than recieving more votes. It all comes down to votes and she simply received more than Jared did.
Since we don't know the official count on votes, it could have been any of the other contestants standing on that stage with Jared that night.

Rock on Nicole, you are awesome! And Jared, you know I love you!

I am sorry that Jared is no longer on the show as well as the rest of the contestants that have gone. I wish them the best of luck and I also wish the remaining contestants goodluck as well. It is very hard to do what these people are doing and I commend each and every one. I look forward to seeing you on tour this summer along with the others.

Good luck

Beautifully said. I wish you every success Jared.
Nicole, you are a beautiful and talented woman. You have had my vote since the first show this season. Stay true to your sound and follow your instincts.
