Dolly Week Decent for Denver's Crush


Kristi Lee Cook, the sister-in-law of Colorado Crush's QB, John Dutton, offered an okay performance last night on American Idol as she belted Dolly Parton's sweet but forgettable song, "Coat of Many Colors."

As Kristi continues to sail through the competition, DCN began to wonder if perhaps Kristi was this season's Sanjaya. Sure enough, VoteForTheWorst.com is encouraging voters to dial for Kristi. However, DCN thinks if VoteForTheWorst.com really held any pull in this competition, annoying Amanda Overmeyer or Danny Noriega would have been singing some good ole' Dolly last night.

Most memorably, Cook showed off her country roots by wearing a flowing dress and going barefoot on stage. Metro-sexual host, Ryan Seacrest, couldn't help himself when he commented on Cook's bare feet, telling her she had a nice "french pedicure." DCN took a small poll (ok, I just asked my husband), and by a unanimous margin, DCN has confirmed that most men do not know what a french pedicure is - that is, except for Seacrest.

Another interesting Colorado connection to the show came when Seacrest pulled out a series of postcards - Kathy Bates-like fan mail for dreadlocked Jason Castro. The postcard flashed on screen was from Colorado.

Ed. Note: If any one knows the stalker fan from Colorado, please send her my way for an interview.

Great story as usual, DCN! I love the hardhitting stories that cut to the core of pop culture.

I'd like to see Kristi Lee stay for another week. As Randy likes to say, she can really "blow" (not sure what that means), and she definitely performed better than meek ole Ramiele. Sorry! (expressed with an arrogant British accent like one of our AI judging faves.)

My predictions for the bottom three tonight include: Ramiele, Syesha, and Jason (though, I wouldn't be surprised to see DCN's Crush in there instead of Mr. Castro).
