Oregon native Kristy Lee Cook is one of the early season seven American Idol favorites. She is the beautiful blonde who moved to Texas to follow her musical dreams. 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.
All-American and loves to ride bareback? What is not to love about Kristy and her chances on Idol?

The former Carly Hennessy who is the new Carly Smithson has caused some controversy since appearing on American Idol season 7. Carly Smithson’s story is compelling. Two years ago, the Irish high-class lass with a star-spangled ass got tossed from the U. S. because of immigration issues.
The former Carly Hennessy was accepted to go to Hollywood with American Idol, but never made it as she was sent back on a plane to contemplate her navel for a couple of years. Now, Carly Smithson has resolved her Visa issues, appeared on American Idol 7, wowed the judges once more and has been given a pass to Hollywood, for real this time.
What is causing a stir, however, is that the hard luck Irish miracle, Carly Smithson is not the amateur that many thought her to be. In fact, as Carly Hennessy the Irish singer has had a recording contract with a major player, MCA Records and has put out an album.

Asiah Epperson belted out the Leann Rimes tune, “How Do I Live,” in honor of her father. In one of the more sincere, tragic back stories to ever accompany a contestant, Epperson’s dad passed away in a car accident mere days before she tried out.
As you can see below, though, Asiah’s voice carried her through to Hollywood. This was no pity vote. Once she exited with her golden ticket, Paula Abdul broke down in tears and had to leave briefly. Probably to mourn. Possibly to get more liquored up.
