It was apparent that one of the gals would be going home tonight — none of them captured the essence of a Mariah Carey number as well as the guys — but not many Idol watchers thought it would be Kristy Lee Cook.

Hi- it’s Remote Island guest blogger Lynn Underwood on the American Idol results show.

Kristy Lee  shined on the country flavored “Forever” and it wasn’t only because of her glittery eye shadow and silver cocktail dress.

I was a little sad to see her go — she always had an upbeat attitude,  even when Simon said she should be “hypnotized” to learn how to perform on stage, was ridiculed for the Beatles “8 Days a Week” disaster and consistently landed in the bottom three for many weeks.

Plus - In the call-in segment - a viewer asked Kristy if she was able to buy her horse back.  She replied that the man she sold it to for money to travel to the Idol auditions would not sell her horse back to her!

She really had a bad day.

Powerhouse singer Carly Smithson seemed to be on the cusp, but maybe covering the arm tattoos with an elegant long-sleeved dress helped attract the above age 30 vote.

 According to an interview on EW.com, Michael Johns had planned on singing a Mariah Carey’s “Vision of Love.”  What a major loss!!!

Do you think “just call me Carole King” Brooke White and “second string Whitney” Syesha Mercado deserved to be in the bottom  three?

And will it be a  showdown between the two Davids for the finals?

I don’t know about you — but I’m pumped for Andrew Lloyd Webber week. I can’t wait to  hear the “Go, Go Go Joseph” group number.
