I think that you gave an outstanding performance on the season premier of Nashville Star an I was extremely disappointed that the judges booted you out of the competition. When I heard you sing that song I just knew for sure that you were going to be around until the end. Never give up on your dreams, please. I would really enjoy hearing more of your music. Find yourself a record producer and go for it. You went through alot just to make it to the final ten so keep up the good work and AWESOME performances.

I'm with you. I was so disappointed...Rickie, just keep going after the dream!!! You WILL get there...I know it....
