Kristy Lee Cook - American Idol 7 Top 12 - Cast Party

Kristy Lee Cook is HOT!

Kristy Lee Cook at the American Idol Top 12 cast party.

Kristy Lee Cook will be fighting for her American Idol life next week. Kristy is the ideal candidate for being this year's sexy vixen, in the mold of Katharine McPhee and Haley Scarnato. American Idol has realized that this is a great strategy for getting male viewers, and this is clearly going to work in Kristy Lee Cook's favor. In fact, even if she doesn't sing well, the show might just put her through for a few more weeks just to get controversy. "The only reason she is on the show is because she's hot and she has amazing tabloid potential!" fans will cry out when she makes it past Syesha, etc.

The flip side is that Idol decides not to reward the poor singers this year and takes her out of the Top 10. I think that because Kristy Lee Cook has gotten a free pass for the past three weeks, when it is painfully clear that Alaina Whitaker and Asia'h Epperson had more fans than her, means that Kristy Lee Cook still has a few weeks in her.

Rickey's Bold Prediction: Too close to call! Between Top 8-12 (Probably Top 10, just as Simon Cowell called it)
