American Idol: Bye Bye to Kristy Lee Cook

She must be proud of herself and her die-hard fans who managed to keep her on the show this far. Kristy Lee Cook appeared in the bottom two five times including tonight, I believe that's the most bottom two appearances in American Idol history. But, just when she was getting better, she gets voted off. America's votes are unpredictable. Either way, Kristy was so well-liked that it's almost obvious she will be signed to a country record label and release a country album towards the end of the year a la Kellie Pickler. So, Tonight's bottom three consisted of Kristy Lee Cook, Brooke White and Syesha Mercado. This is the fourth time Syesha is in the bottom three, so I'm expecting her to go home next week... it's long overdue, yes, she's got an amazing voice... but what else? In fact, I think that from this point on, the remaining three girls will be voted off one by one leaving the final three spots for the remaining three men. I think that the finale will be a battle of the Davids. Hopefully the winner will be David Cook instead of David Archuleta. Anyway, Mariah Carey also performed "Bye Bye", an emotional song from her new album E=MC2 - which hit stores yesterday. Next week, Syesha, Carly, Jason, David, Brooke, and David will take the stage one more time in hopes of moving on to the Top 5.
