The big beneficiary of that was Kristy Lee Cook, who may survive for another week based on the luck of sharing a birthday with Lee Greenwood’s patriotic anthem “God Bless the USA.” Full Story

Rocker sent packing on ‘American Idol’
March 20, 2008
There isn’t much on the Top 40 charts these days that sounds anything like Amanda Overmyer. Apparently, there’s a good reason for that. Overmyer became the second of the 12 finalists voted off “American Idol” on Wednesday.

Not only did Simon Cowell acknowledge that American singers were better than the Brits, a response to a viewer question that may well cost him any chance at knighthood, the judges also thought the voters got the bottom three right when they placed Syesha Mercado, Kristy Lee Cook and David Hernandez in danger.

The house reels from the most recent BIG BROTHER twist–the HouseGuests must now play the game as individuals!
