Where was Kristy at the end of the show last night (Feb 19th)? Two of the twelve girls were not there.

Jordin Sparks was hardly an unknown, she could have been a plant also. Before AI she: released an album, toured with Michael W. Smith, won multiple contests, and performed at Country Thunder, performed with Alice Cooper, appeared in a compilation album, and MUCH more.......... that doesn't sound undiscovered to me.

It is pretty self evident that American Idol is fixed and stuffed with more retreads than a tire factory.

Signing professional failed singers who had mega contracts as artist with record labels is just so unfair to those thousands of folk showing up at multiple cities thinking they actually have a chance to compete or have a reasonable chance. For Idol to pack the top 24 with 9 professional artist is just not what this show has been billed to be. They should be honest about these singers professional backgrounds and expose that fact that they signed contracts with major record labels. Then and only then can the thousands of folk showing up for auditions decide if they want to waste the time to compete. So many great singers are cut in the preliminary rounds and now we all know why. It clear that they are attempting to ensure that America chooses their choice by not choosing great singers in the early try outs.

I agree with Lori. In sports, if you sign a contract with an organization - you become a 'professional' player. I think it should be the same with American Idol. I thought American Idol was supposed to serve as a catalyst for discovering singing talent - not as a means to help salvage those who have already been 'discovered' and failed. If you've signed a contract - regardless if you make it or not - you're a professional! Makes me wonder about the inegrity of the show.

I feel that this show is for those who haven't had a chance to make it. She had a chance and failed let someone else try to make it.

At 16 or 17 its a good thing she didn't make it. Look at most who have at such a young age. She has put in the time and paid her dues. Just listen to her, she is awesome, unbelievable and deserves her day in the sun. In athletics they seay Never Quit, Well she didn't! She kept pushing on, and thats what amkes winners She has my vote

I think people need to back off, Im almost glad that Kristy Lee Cook didnt make it when she was younger. I would like to hear her music for a long time to come, and the one's who make it when they are younger usually turn out to be one hit wonders. So this is a blessing in diguse for her and the rest of us who enjoy her voice and talent.

numerous contestants this season have already had a "failed" record deal, Kristi isn't the only one. Idol is focusing on "failed" artists in an effort to rejuvenate their career.
