Hey kim... another Review (Country Central)... this time around is a positive one !!!! loves it! The latest American Idol Alumni to hit the country music scene is in fact last season’s miss country, Kristy Lee Cook. On that note there’s nothing better than hitting the scene with a casual and upbeat kiss-my-ass song to a heart-breaker. This song does lack a lot as far as showing the potential Kristy’s voice had on the show. However, there are aspects that make up for this lack of blow-your-mind vocal rendition. Instead of boring listeners with another ballad, Cook shows off her true country side in a song that has her taking center stage to literally expose her ex-boyfriend’s wrong-doings all over the airwaves and get you laughing and taping your toes along the way. Even without showing off Cook manages to find a very comfortable range for her voice that produces a very pure country sound. All in all Kristy’s debut single is an entertaining song that holds back just enough to avoid perfection, but not so much where it deniesthat this idol truly does belong in this genre. If this is any sign of where Kristy might take the genre, I’ll come along for the ride. Grade: B I completely agree with him. It's a good first track, it's not perfect and Kristy can do better (and hopefully she will). A ballad as a first single could be boring to people who do not know her from idol (yes, I know it's not and American idol thread but sometimes we cannot avoid this topic from coming up ;))

Should be if it isn't already. Already on Amazon (with a very bland single cover I might add).

Kristy is really beautifull... ans your cover shows it much better. I'm using it as I had the same cover I was using in her American Idol songs...

^^^ i know, she really should have had her face on the cover so people who watched Idol can remember her face. plus her face alone would sell some copies of this song on iTunes and other digital stores. ;)

the song is really good. I'm glad she is doing COUNTRY and not crossover. This is why she might succeed. :)

^If this video is the same one I saw on All Access it is super cute. By the way...her song debuts at #58 ate Hot Country Songs on BB. And the song is not even properly released to radio... I think it will be at least a top 20 hit for her!

She doesn't seem to have as fanatic a fanbase as other Idol-rans. The single has been available for almost a whole week on iTunes and it still hasn't shown up on the top 100 country songs chart.

Jessica's 'Come On Over' debuted at #41, nearly twenty spots higher, and it only reached a peak of #18. Then again, this chick probably won't have to deal with the kind of backlash that Jess experienced.

I think this song is great, I love it, it's very catchy. But in it's 2nd week, it fell two spots to #60. Maybe it's not country enough, I don't know, I think it's good, not sure what the problem is- it deserves to go higher than that.

I wouldn't worry about this song. It should move up about 10 spots this week and appears to be off and running. I expect this to do pretty well. The lyrics are paper thin, but it the melody is plenty catchy.

it didn't go for adds until last Monday. i also expect it to be at least #50 this week. i am sure Arista will be pushing this extra hard since the album comes out in like 4 weeks

I wonder if that's the famous horse she had to sell in order to audition for Idol and was never able to get back...?
