As performers go, Ashley is a star already. She had the chops to win Idol and I, like many others, was shocked by her early departure..I picked Carrie Underwood to win the year she competed and was right on the money. This year I chose Ashley and was blown away when she didn't make top 24..I hope she continues to pursue music, as I think someday she'll wow audiences everywhere.
I LUV ASHLEY I HATE THAT SHE WENT HOME WHY WHY WHY HER AND MICHEAL ARE MY FAVOR SO IF ASHELY SEE THIS HIT ME UP AT WILSONBRITTANYM@AOL.COM ,,,
She's good, but isn't that great. She's obviously a judge/producer favorite since they're pimping her as early as now.
Looks like Eva Mendez
Oh no. Is it the Antoinette(?) Barba situation all over again?
