Kristy: 'Forever' is Not Enough

She sold her horse to make it to Los Angeles -- but she rode off into the sunset from the stage of "American Idol" last night. Crooner Kristy Lee Cook was eliminated from competition after enduring three weeks in the bottom three. For this week's tribute to Mariah Carey, she turned the pop legend's "Forever" into a country tune -- and was met with mixed opinions from the judges, but home voters agreed.

Paula Abdul said, "I'm like blown away... you'd have a hit with it in the country world, I believe... I'm so proud of you." The notoriously tough Simon Cowell, however, was not as kind. "You didn't give me chills," he told Cook, "but you managed with what you could."

Cook couldn't stop the tears from flowing, but in the end, she graciously bowed out, thanking America for voting and then asking, "Can I go ride my horse now?"

"American Idol" has been whittled down -- now just six remain. Tune in to Fox next week to see which next hopeful will be falling short, and taking their final bow.

Barnsinger, her performance gave me chills, too. She will be successful in country music. I think Kristy has a little crush on Simon but he said some mean things to her. I’m glad she sat in front of him to start singing her last song. She had courage and I’m going to miss seeing her on the show.

It’s so sad that Kristy was sent home after her best performance ever. She could have a hit with that song right now. But I’m glad she went out on top, after struggling for so many weeks and narrowly missing elimination. She is going to have a career in country music. Maybe Simon didn’t get chills from her performance, but I did.
