Why did Jimmie Allen cancel his CMA performance before the awards
Before joining my colleagues American Idol During her tour, October 15 in Greenwood, SC, Jimmie reflected on the role the competition played in his musical career.
“I got to meet a lot of great singers on the show,” he exclusively told E! News in October. “And even though I didn’t win or make the top 10 or anything, I learned a lot from other singers. Having the opportunity to be surrounded by the best singers from every market small town.”
Allen, who was eliminated before the live voting of season 10 of the singing competition in 2011, continued, “The relationships I’ve built with the artists from the show — as well as those who still work on the show — and having the opportunity to come back and be a mentor and share what I’ve learned from other artists, it’s really helped me a lot.”
