You Better Watch It

The first night of American Idol has uncovered the first stand out. Country singer Kristy Lee Cook blew away the judges with a country twinged edition of Amazing Grace. Having sold her horse to make it to Philadelphia to audition Kristy Lee also had that feel good Idol vibe as well.

From Kristy Lee’s web site:

Kristy Lee is not your typical young lady. Until Kristy moved to Texas a few years ago to pursue her music career, she was living in a log-cabin style home, surrounded by pine trees, in Selma, Oregon, and riding her horse, Midnight, almost every day. Putting Midnight, an Arabian, through her paces usually meant jumping, racing, and swimming in the river…most of which Kristy did bareback. [link]
