Kristy Lee Cook Shines on American Idol

Kristy Lee Cook really impressed judges and viewers last night on the premiere of “American Idol” season 7. The 23-year-old’s audition and interview is being called the highlight of last night’s show. Kristy’s performance of Amazing Grace received good reviews from Paula Abdul who said she loved the tone and control of her voice. The typically harsh Simon Cowell also said he loved her voice but told her she needed “10 to 20 percent more confidence.”
