Kellie Pickler Cries During Country Music Awards Performance: Sincere or Staged?
We love Kellie Pickler, fake boobs and all.
And we feel terrible that her mother left when this American Idol finalist was a toddler. Still, didn't Pickler's tears during her performance on last night's Country Music Awards feel a bit forced? Maybe even staged?
She times her final sniffles pretty darn well, in accordance with the closing of her song, "I Wonder." It got us wondering. Check it out for yourself:
Was Kellie Pickler truly moved to tears? Or trying to steal some attention away from the night's big winner, Carrie Underwood? Tell us what you think!

I don't think this was stage to take the glory aware from Underwood. Over the last few days Kellie's mother Cynthia Malone has given interviews to the press and this has upset Kellie. She has also been found to be living in North Carolina, bought tickets to see Kellie sing with Paisley either in Charlotte or Raleigh - the cops had her picture at each entrance in order to turn her away if she showed up. Kellie says that her mother is not being truthful about many things that happened in their lives - why would the woman go to the press and make everything public? Maybe she wants to get on the money train!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tears?? I just did not get it. Sincere or fake. Just made no sense. She really is not a good singer. Maybe that's why she felt the new boobs would help. There is a reason she lost on American Idol.

Fake tears... seen at concert in June and pulled the same stunt.

NOT FAKE TEARS - Kellie found herself full of emotion by re-living her past thru her song, a beautiful song at that, Kellie has found sucess and now her mother wants a piece of it, her mother did not have time for her when she was growing up, she should stay out of the picture, I would be proud to have a daughter like Kellie, I hope she will continue to keep her head up high and continue to make music, I think she is a beautiful singer and I wish her all the best.

I can't see how anyone could say that was fake. She may have done the same thing in concert in June, but this young lady is in a lot of pain for what her mother has done to her. I can't fathom what it would be like to have your mother walk out on you as a toddler. All that I can say is if she was raised by her Grandfather he has done one hell of a job with her. Kelly has made it this long without her mother and is on her way to a very successful life. Keep a singing Kelli and if you ever come close enough to me in concert I'll be there to see you and cry along with you. I love you Kelli. Continue making your music and sing your heart out.

All you people who think her tears were fake have no idea what you're talking about. A person who is truly artistic gets moved very easily. It's all creative energy and this song is extremely personal for her! Never mind the fact that she was performing in Nashville in front of her own Idols that she has looked up to her whole life. She's finally made it! What a humbling experience. She was overwhelmed in the moment and it was a raw and beautiful thing. Why do people feel the need to judge her? Get a life!

Anyone who thinks this young girl's tears were fake doesn't have a heart. You can see she is in a lot of pain that she tries to cover by her sense of humor.

Those were not faked. You could tell she was getting all worked up well before the end of the song. Give her a break. She had a most horrendus childhood and against all odds she is trying to make it and I give her credit for that. She could have well gone down another road entirely. I thought she sang very well last night too.

I love her so leave her alone

There is a reason she lost on American Idol? So I guess we are to believe from that ridiculous comment that the only ones with any talent from the show were the winners. Somebody should inform Chris Daughtry before he sells another million. Fake tears? It is after all, entertainment.
