I wish I knew a way to get Kim lots of extra votes because no matter how fabulously she performs, she will need voting help to get into the finals. So many people have such a love affair with Clay and Rueben, which I understand because they are really really good. BUT KIM is my favorite. I think Clay has a phenomial voice, but his look will hurt him in the long run. I think Kim and Rueben should be in the finals because they have the best all around package, and then Kim when it because she is a much better singer than both Reuben and Clay.

GO KIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am sooo glad she made it in the final three! She has come an amazingly long, and surprising way, and i screamed out loud watching last nite..
I think she needs lots and lots of help in the voting too.
I actually think that Clay and Reuben have an excellent chance of a sure career and that Kimberly could have none unless she gets in the top two of this..
Reasons: I think that Clay has a huge popularity and and a huge voice and a novelty factor that will easily get him picked up.
And I think Ruben has such a classicly great voice that he will easily have a career that could last really long term..on jazz and pop stations alike..

But I think that what I hear said about Kim having no Teen fan base is probably true.. She is very adult, with a terrific voice and personality, but I think to the record producing world, she is seen as somewhat bland, ordinary persona who will not attract screaming fans and will be a risk for them..

Whereas, if she wins Amer Idol, then her talent and personality will be given a forum which boosts her to a well deserved career that I am afraid she would not otherwise , unfortunately, be given a chance to have..

Therefore, although I think Clay and Ruben are magnificent, and I always wanted to see Ruben and Kim as the final two,and I have even waffled to thinking maybe Clay should win , i have decided that I want to see Kim and Ruben as the final two instead, and encourage all to vote her into first place. It would be an amazing shocker!

btw, although it was good to show Josh's final thing, i wish they had taken a couple seconds to show Kim's face, cuz I was really wanting to see how thrilled and surprised she must have been..

Here I am Rabbit, I will stay with Kim until she gets the boot next week. Hmmmmmmmm I was just thinking what if Rueben goes and I have to pick between Kim and Clay.

I am less and less impressed with Rueben's singing, I like him but it is getting old. I think Kim and Clay have more talent.

Kim fans unite, we must be ready next Tuesday.

So how does this work at this point with just 3 Idols, I did not get into this last time ? I assume 1 leaves next week and then a "sign off " ?

I've been reading for a few day, this is my first post.

I dialed Kim's number for 2 hours and could not get through at all.

Shady, you have come to the place where you are most needed. This week could be Kim's last but she won't go without two solid hours of calling in from me :)

Welcome to the board!

Donut...I found this report from a fan who saw Kim when she returned home to TN. (It was on another Kimberly fan site). I'll try and post more.

Okay Kim fans, hope your up for a long post here. Kim has been in Nashville since yesterday where she visited her old high school and made a local television appearance both last night and then again at 6am this morning. After the show she then went and did a live radio spot and I'm not really sure what her day was like after that but obviously hectic. What I had been waiting for was her appearance at Tower Records at 5pm. All I knew was that she was supposed to sing a little and then sign autographs. I'd like to share my experience with you all. I got to Tower right at 5pm and there was quite a crowd, I'd estimate between 300-400 people but don't hold me too it. She came out of the back at about five minutes after and the crowd went crazy, she walked gracefully up to the stage and backed by a piano player and a guitarist she started singing Band of Gold and it was great. People were really excited to see her and more and more people started coming in. She thanked everybody for coming out and she said "I want to Thank ALL OF YOU who vote for me every week". The next song she sang was New York State of Mind and at some point started singing "Nashville" state of mind which of course was a big hit. A really cool thing happened after that, she started singing HOME and about 2 bars into it something happened, I'm not sure what but she just laughed and said "sorry you guys, were having technical difficulty" she herded around to the piano player and guitarist and after what seemed like only a few seconds going by, the crowd starts chanting A CAPELLA, A CAPELLA, A CAPELLA, she laughs again and says "okay what are ya'll doin to me" and without hesitation broke into it with no music. Now I gotta tell you, when she started singing and whaling on that song you knew you were witnessing something special, literally chills went down my back and I didn't know whether to smile or cry or both. This girl was SINGING, this wasn't TV, or Studio, this was live and it was flat out awesome she has this great sultry and soulful voice that justs lifts you from where your standing. People had kids on their shoulders screaming and clapping and yelling, and when she finished that song, that place went crazy. The American Idol people took the microphone after that and said Kim was going to sign autographs, BUT she was in a hurry and please no multiple signatures and/or hugging etc. etc...so she went to the back again for 5-10 minutes while the line formed and it was already long all the way around the store. I had to make a choice, I could stay put and get some really good pictures of Kim, or get in the back of the line and risk no picture and possibly not meet her either. I decided to stay put, they brought out this small sqaure table for her to sign stuff on and with TV cameras rolling, security gaurds and TV people around her, she comes out to sign. She sits and people start coming up to her, and I started taking pictures. I was at most 4-5 feet from her and the table. I wasn't trying to hear any conversation but because I was so close I managed to see and hear a lot. First let me say this, Kim had on very little if any makeup, was on local TV late last night and then again at 6am this morning and god knows what after that, but she was glowing and I mean literally. She has this beautiful soft complexion, and of course a great smile and as tired and frazzled as she had to be she gave everyone the same warm greeting. Remember how I said the AI people said "she's in a hurry" flying back to LA and all that so "no stopping or hugging"....well you already know, anybody who wanted a picture of themselves with Kim got it, anybody who wanted a hug, GOT IT. She was unbelievable, she always thanked everyone for voting and supporting her, and people were asking her every kind of question and I heard her say more than once "Well thank you all so much" and "that was so sweet" . There was this little girl maybe 5 or 6 years old standing at the rope between Kim and "the line" and she was a doll with long blonde hair standing with her mom and she was just balling, I don't know if she had gotten thru the line without seeing Kim, or if mom couldn't wait for the line to see Kim. But when Kim saw what was going on she stopped what she was doing and motioned for the mom and the liitle girl to come over and she signed this little girls CD and picture and the girl just lit up, it was really cool. I'm hopefully going to be able to post the pics I got sometime tonight and I'll let you all know where they are at. I will finish by saying, regardless of what happens on AI, Kim is already a star. She is even more beautiful and sounds even better up close and personal, and it was a pleasure to share that small block of time with her this afternoon. Hope you all get a chance to do the same some time. We love you Kim.

what song is 'home'?

Snee...Kim sang HOME on AI "Movie Night." It is from the musical, The Wiz. Diana Ross sang it in the movie, and Stephanie Mills first sang it on Broadway.

Ladytex...you're welcome! I'm still surfing the web to find more Kim articles. I know I've come across them in the past. It's just a matter of me hunting them down (again).

For Kimmy fans
American Idol: Top 3 Count Down
Well, I'd love to say I heard it through the grapevine, but only time will tell who'll win this exciting season of American Idol.

I had to just come out and state that I want Kim Locke to win, and that I honestly think that she has the most appeal when it comes to being a 'pop artist.'

I still stand my ground in telling and encouraging America to drink from the fountain of Kimberley Locke, and in return the nation will be a better place. Why? Because the girl can sing! The girl can blow, and she has the right stuff; looks, attitude and determination topped with shear talent to win this thing that has weekly drawn us for two days in front of our television sets.

Kim is by far, much better looking visually than Ruben and Clay. I'm a straight woman and women generally judge each other and I judge Kim with a 10! The girl has the hair, color, curves, and most of all, the vocal ability to catapult record sales beyond the stratosphere!

Can't print more, they seem serious about reprinting here. But follow the link

Here's another article supportive of Kimberley describing the virtual media shut-out of Kim even before she's had a chance to give it her best shot to get into the final. [Media focus on Clay, Ruben, and...what's her name?]

thanks for the link, Hobobabe. That article is spot on! I keep dreaming that folks'll wise up and see that big R the fuzzy has been coasting and give us a Kim vs. Clay final.

Go Kim!!!! I hope she sings tomorrow like she did for Neil Sedaka / 60's night instead of Bee Gees night. She sounded awesome on "Where the Boys Are". I loved how she sang it, it was so captivating.

Go Kim!!!! Here's hoping for a Kim/Ruben final!

Why is she being so mistreated?

There is almost no media on here and people are talking as if she does not exist. I think that was absolutely correct in the SNL skit where their Kim standin asked if she could just go home now.

OK Kim fans my redial is her's Tuesday night! I never voted for anybody until I read somewhere that anybody that voted for Carmen must be on drugs. That night I quit counting at 150 votes for Carmen, and still had over a half hour to go. Helped keep her in a couple weeks, tho I didn't get to vote for her last night - not that I figure it would have mattered. Then I transfered my voting technique to Josh 2 weeks ago because of the same nasty remarks. Didn't vote last week, cuz I didn't care who went on. No negative comments about those who are voting for Kim but after reading this article [thanks Hobobabe!] my fire has been fueled, I'm working out my left thumb [hit talk redial talk, talk redial talk, talk, redial talk, talk redial talk]. Might even break out the ole cell phone for the 2nd hour [free minutes after 9pm] and double dial. GO KIM! Also good luck to Clay - you're a doll! And also good luck to Ruben, you're a teddy bear.
aaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccccckkkkkkkk SEE this is why I wasn't gonna vote cuz I like all 3 [and knew Josh would be gone last week]. But vote I will, and it will be nothing against Clay or Ruben. I hope the Claymates and the Ruuuuuuu crew won't take offense.
