Oregon’s Cook is in Idol’s final 7

Friday, April 11, 2008 |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Australian-born singer Michael Johns was eliminated Thursday from “American Idol” as the popular contest narrowed its finalists to seven.
That means another appearance for Oregon’s Kristy Lee Cook. The young woman from Selma earned raves from the judges this week after her performance of Martina McBride’s “Anyway.”
The dismissal of Johns came as a surprise because the hunky rocker had never been in the show’s bottom three vote-getters. Cook has been a regular guest in the bottom three, but she escaped that group this week.
