Let's just say that the show did not turn out as I had hoped, but I must admit it was still pretty cool sitting in hair and makeup next to one of my favorite American Idol finalists, Kimberley Locke. Kimberley is awesome and doing a lot of exciting things beyond recording 11 charting singles. We got the chance to reconnect by phone this week and here's what she had to say...
