“American Idol” Elimination: Kristy Lee Cook Ousted By Mariah Carey Week

4/17/08, 11:50 am EST

In a move that probably came three or four weeks too late, Kristy Lee Cook was sent back to her horse-less farm in Oregon on last night’s elimination episode of American Idol. Brooke White and Syesha Mercado joined Cook as the bottom vote getters. Cook’s dismissal seemed telegraphed, as the show made a big deal out of Cook fielding a question from a fan during the call-in segment about whether or not she will be getting her horse back (as it turns out, the guy she sold the equine to will not sell it back). Last night’s show also featured a fairly subdued performance from this week’s mentor Mariah Carey (she worked her way through “Bye Bye” from her new album) as well as a song from Season Five’s Elliott Yamin and the most aggressive Brooke crying jag yet. Cook made a graceful exit, though for a girl who has had mixed martial arts training, Rock Daily does wish that she had made her exit by putting Ryan Seacrest in a kimura and forcing him to tap out.

About time. After she butchered “Eight Days a Week” I was not only ready to kick her off the show, but also introduce her to Yoko Ono.

i love kristy lee cook and i am so upset that she is gone. she was better than jason castro, brooke white, syehsa, and carly… atleast the last few weeks… she is the only one with honesty who could say improved every week… this was completely unfair

Look on the bright side Kristy, being ousted by Mariah Carey is better than being murdered by Charles Manson.

Optimism is the key to living a successful and fruitful life.

she’s hot. so what if she can’t sing! that’s never stopped record producers before.

Very high girl-next door appeal, only a middling singing talent. I’ll miss looking at her.

Listen bitch, you’ve got too many of my names. I was here first, so cut it out.

good job kristy. I’m glad that you made it to the top 7, and I think you should keep on singing. You should sing Strawberry Wine because it is my favorite song.
