American Idol

Cook auditioned for American Idol in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She sang "Amazing Grace". All three judges liked her voice and sent her straight through to Hollywood. While in Hollywood, her first song didn't impress the judges. For her second and final chance, she sang "Amazing Grace" again; as a result, she became one of the top 24 contestants in the semi-finals. Cook is currently among the top 12 contestants. On March 12th, Kristy was placed in the bottom 3 alongside Syesha Mercado and David Hernandez. Kristy then placed in the bottom 2 alongside Hernandez, but received enough votes to continue onto the following week.
