Kristy Lee Cook Voted Off Idol, Six Remain

She may have sold her horse to raise enough money to travel to the American Idol auditions, but Kristy Lee Cook came up short on last night’s AI elimination round.

Not even guest mentor Mariah Carey’s kind words- she said Cook’s rendition of “Forever” gave her chills- were enough to keep the 24-year-old Selma, Oregon hopeful in the running.

As much as everyone hated to admit it, Simon Cowell’s sentiment, “Maybe Kristy- you know, your time’s up this time, sweetheart,” rang true, bringing the total number of finalists to six.

And the competition will be even fiercer as David Archuleta, Carly Smithson, Jason Castro, David Cook, Syesha Mercado and Brooke White continue in their quest to become the next American Idol.
