We were introduced to Kristy in the first audition episode of this season, in Philadelphia. She impressed the judges with her lovely rendition of “Amazing Grace,” and easily made it to the Hollywood round.
After making it into the Top 24, Kristy had a tough time with a round of flu that hit the contestants. Week after week passed with her being in the bottom three but she persevered.
Kristy is no stranger to show business. Prior to American Idol she was signed to Spears Superstars production company, and made a country music video for the song “Devoted.”
From her AI home page:
Favorite Quote: "Rope it, ride it, wrestle it, cowgirl it."
Q: Where do you draw inspiration from?
A: God. My family. My horses and dog.
From her EW exit interview:
EW: When you put that ''Kristy's seat'' sign on the bottom-three stools a few weeks back, you won me over with your sense of humor about yourself.
Kristy: Thanks. Some people didn't like it. They thought maybe I thought they weren't voting enough for me. I was trying to be myself and break the ice and be funny.
In her AOL interview Kristy says that she is glad that Brooke is still in the competition because she is one of her very best friends. About being in the bottom three: "After the first few times, I built up a stamina for it and got a little tougher."
Don’t cry for Kristy, as she has a bright future ahead of her. She plans to try for a country music career in Nashville. Also, her boyfriend Andy proposed to her after she was eliminated and they are planning a wedding for June of next year.
