Simon Sounds Off on the Finals, Idol Fixes, Boring Themes & More | The Great American Idol Blog | 5/6/2008
Meeting the press to promote the new season of NBC's America's Got Talent (premiering June 17 at 9 pm/ET), Simon Cowell inevitably was swarmed with Idol-related queries. Here is what the outspoken Brit had to say about:It All Coming Down to David vs. David"It's what I genuinely believe will happen. I think you're going to have a real scrap on the night. Without either of them being a red-hot favorite, [the winner] will be [determined by] what happens on the night, and that's what the show is all about."The Davids' Weaknesses"I don't think they've got too many. I think David Cook has got the best voice and David Archuleta's got the teen and the gran[dma] appeal. [They're] very equal."Jason's Surprising Longevity"He's got a great face. If he looked like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, he still wouldn't be there, would he? But that's the music business. He's had some very good weeks, to be fair. He just struggled with Andrew Lloyd Webber and, in particular, Neil Diamond. It almost felt... read more

VIDEO: Kristy Lee Cook Denied Her Horse! | The Great American Idol Blog | 4/22/2008
During an interview yesterday morning on Regis and Kelly, the latest ousted-Idol, Kristy Lee Cook, revealed a sad bit of news to Reeg. After she sold her beloved horse, Montana, to pay for her trip to the Idol auditions, she figured she'd go back for the horse post-competition with no issue retrieving her buddy. But wouldn't you know it, Kristy Lee has tried and the guy won't sell. She should definitely cage-fight him for custody (you'll get the joke after you watch the video)!Your take: Do you think the buyer should in a sense 'have a heart' and sell Kristy her horse back since it's only been a short time? Or do you think the buyer's in the right? read more
Kristy Lee Cook: Standing Firm, Even on the Way Out | The Great American Idol Blog | 4/17/2008
Despite having found her stride in recent weeks (not to mention getting a wedding proposal after her ousting), last night was Kristy Lee Cook's final one as an Idol contestant. Thursday, she found herself giving exit interviews, and reflected on the highs and lows of her Idol run, plus what she sees on the horizon. After multiple weeks in the bottom three, repeated verbal beat-downs from Simon and now being off the show, Cook says the experience made her a stronger person. "It's tough being in the bottom three," she conceded, but she grew a thicker skin. "I got a little tougher each time," she explained, "and finally, learned to control the emotions." Sometimes, though, Cook could not just keep quiet, like, for instance, when she called Simon a "butt." Cook explained, "He's got his own little remarks that are not very nice to people, and after a time, it kind of builds up. So I just was saying a nice word but telling him he's a little butt sometimes, he's a little brat. I was... read more
