Amazon is doing a special sweepstakes. Today through December 16, you can enter to win two tickets to the 2009 Idol finale in Los Angeles, including a one-night hotel stay and airfare. I thought I'd share the link for everyone. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=pe_27590_10909500_pe_00_head/?docId=1000315401 So I just might re post this later in today’s headlines cause I’m not sure if anyone will actually read this.

Why sign KLC if you're going to rush out an album and barely do any promo? It just seems mean, really. Wasn't a fan of hers during the show. And, despite liking and buying a decent amount of country music, definitely would not have bought her CD. But this just seems ridiculous. Yet again, I agree with Gwendolyn.

IDK, why else would they sign her and then not do anything at all to help her earn back the money? IDK. Very strange. I'm basically just surprised it happened so fast, not that it happened at all, it was inevitable IMO.

I never liked her artistically and didn't understand why she was signed, but I always thought that she deserved better treatment than she was getting. I just can't fathom why they signed her if they weren't going to promote her? Did they think she had this big fanbase they could cash in on without much work? Did they not like the album or something once they heard it? I mean, they recorded it so fast, what did they expect? Poor Kristy. Awww Kristy!

Her voice was mediocre at best, and the album was average, with a few potential modest hits. The mean part was signing her at all. As far as I’m concerned, she shouldn’t have even been signed.

They used to give dropped Idols a year or two and dropped them at Xmas. Blake got six months and was dropped in the spring. But Kristy Lee got two months? and then they still dropped her around Xmas. That just sucks. They don't even pretend to treat them with respect anymore. Wow, I’m shocked about Kirsty Lee Cook. They used to give dropped Idols a year or two and dropped them at Xmas.
