Just wanted to let you know RickieJoleen, you were awesome last night on the show. Just some friendly advice tho, heres what I think went against you.. I don't think you should have included that you didn't complete a grade after 8th grade in your video introduction. In all reality, thats not something to be proud of, and it seems you were somewhat proud of it. I think that hurt you, it couldn't have helped you. I think its a good chance you might still be in the show if you had not mentioned that in your video bio.

Keep playing, and keep your chin up! And Good Luck in all you do!

God Bless,

I would have to agree with Python's post. On a constructive note, an education is very important in today's world. I don't want to suppress your intense passion for music but you should pursue your High School Equivalency Diploma and continue on to college. A music degree perhaps? You have what it takes and you are still young (You have the time)! It is not only the education but the experience that goes along with it! Although college may not be for everybody, most people benefit tremendously. It was a pleasure watching you perform and seeing such a beautiful and talented woman on stage, I thought to myself "I wish she could have had better guidance in her younger years."

If at all possible I would try and hook up with the same people who worked with Gretchen Wilson.

I really enjoyed your performance, you look like you put everything you have into it. I am sorry I won't get to see more of you but I know you won't give up. I agree with the other posters if you haven't already you need to get your GED and think about college with a strong muisc program. Good luck and I hope to hear you on my radio some day soon.

i think she is not in the show anymore because she was only 18 and the judges they have now would'nt recognize talent if it bit them in the rear end. I've never seen a more boring set of judges they should have cut themselves not you
