Happy trails, Kristy Lee April 16, 2008

Well, the time has finally come to say goodbye to Kristy Lee Cook. At last.
I do feel bad that she’s gone–it’s never fun to watch someone be ripped from something they love. Then again, I don’t feel bad that she’s gone–it’s never fun to watch someone continually take the place of those other Idols who actually deserved to remain on the show (Michael Johns! Ramiele! Even Danny Noriega, when you really think about it!) Kristy Lee has lasted longer than she ever should have, so at least she has that.
Kristy Lee, we will miss your flowing, highlighted hair, and we will miss your giant, sparkling belt buckles. And…nope, that’s it.
May you and Randy Jackson have a long and successful working relationship while the other Idols are actually selling albums.
And, may you get your horse back. No really. I don’t begrudge you your barrel horse. I sincerely hope you can finagle a way to re-acquire him.
Happy trails, Kristy Lee.
