Bing147 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I haven't posted here in a long time but hearing about this brought me back. She was my original Idol favorite, a beautiful voice and I'm terribly sad to hear this. Rest in peace 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anticoronaperson Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Only Keeping Track Of The Top 10 Contestants and Judges From American Idol Season 1 Who Has Written Tributes About Nikki McKibbin: Paula Abdul, Ryan Seacrest, Jim Verraros, AJ Gil, Ryan Starr, Justin Guarini, Brian Dunkleman, and R.J. Helton. Who Hasn't Written Tributes About Nikki McKibbin Yet: Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Kelly Clarkson (I'm sure she will be writing or stating a tribute. Kelly Clarkson is just such a great and friendly person and it wouldn't be like her to not say anything about her friend), EJay Day, Christina Christian, and Tamyra Gray.

Weedy_Speedy Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Paula. She always had Nikki's back, even after Simon and Randy turned against her. Ryan was always very complimentary to her, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bk1234 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I’m waiting on a response from Kelly Clarkson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNI2 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Does anybody know if Kelly talked about it during her talk show? I mean, I figure she was the kind of person who would at least tweet about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234567890 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Tweeting or posting something on Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat does not determine grief. I'm sure the other Idols will post/say something when they are ready. Grief comes in all different ways. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormiya Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I don't know if anyone in this thread noticed but this year during quarantine I noticed that the entire first season of Popstars is on YouTube. You can see Nikki's audition at the 28:40 Mark. I tried to set the video so it starts there but just in case! Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that because it said so online and if she succeeded with this show, there’s a good chance she wouldn’t have tried out for American Idol. Obviously, you see that she wasn’t one of the five girls to be part of Eden’s Crush, but she still sounded good for her audition. Nicole Scherzinger from The Pussycat Dolls did audition for Popstars and she was one of the five girls chosen to be part of Eden’s Crush. Nikki McKibbin and Nicole Scherzinger both actually picked the same audition song for Popstars, which was I Will Always Love You.

Nikki has mentioned in interviews that she got to know Nicole during their time on Popstars together. Also I couldn’t find a source to back this up just now, but I swear Kelly Clarkson also auditioned for Popstars and she got cut fairly early I think she made the top 50 or something like that. (You get a passing glimpse of her in one of the episodes I rewatched it earlier this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormiya Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) So if anyone is interested I found the reality stars episode of Fear Factor with Nikki on YouTube https://youtu.be/GAsVVdtCJe8 Also found the first three episodes of Battle of the network Reality Stars too (which also had Ryan Starr from season one) https://youtu.be/csoMUXg12aU Edited January 21, 2021 by Stormiya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anticoronaperson Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I really love Kelly Clarkson and I will always have such respect for her. I just don't understand why even in this video she did where she showed photos of Nikki McKibbin, why she won't just take a second or two to say something along the lines of "I really miss my friend Nikki McKibbin and it's sad what happened to her. She was such a talented singer and may she R.I.P." I'm not going to hold that against Kelly Clarkson, but I'm just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
