Kristy Lee Vlog posted Friday:
But this is a KLC section, I won’t snark. I will say that I think it was a no brainer to use the horse, her on top of it like that is just all kindsa wrong, though. Something tells me the content is equally so.
I have to say that I don’t think it looks like a romance novel. They usually have a half-naked guy, not a horse. This looks to me like a children’s book aimed at horse-crazy pre-teen girls. Like Black Beauty and Misty of wherever-that-was and My Friend Flicka. Maybe pre-teen girls don’t go for that horsey stuff anymore. No clue.
So maybe it looks more like September in the horse-lovers’ calendar or something.
Whatever it resembles, it’s nothing that would make me pick up a CD ever in a hundred years. Even from the bargain bin.
I’m not going to say a word about the song titles. I mean… Oh, dear.
(Long time lurker first time poster here!)
That horse looks seriously not amused.
snipped off-topic stuff…I’ve moved the archie post to the Headlines thread. thank you!
Hey, is that her had-to-give-away horsie or some other random horsie? Either way, there is something really funny about this album cover. It’s cool, though. I’ll remember it.
BTW: Listening to XM radio today in the car and someone brought up an old Grammy catagory: best album cover. Made me long for the days of vinyl. But wait! I read an article about a month ago that said the record industry is hoping to give itself a boost by introducing the Next Big Thing, going to a new version of vinyl, which supposedly will have both the warmth of old vinyl and the clarity of digital. If this happens, I’m in. It would be great to have some nice album covers again to buy.
Hey, they are trying to rip of Annie Leibovitz’s picture of Daniele Radcliffe for the Vanity Fair Equus article. Ahem. LOL.
Ten songs? What a rip-off! I thought CDs always had at least 12 songs on them. Still, it’s Kristy Lee, so maybe they thought 10 was enough. Ahem.
Here is my interpretation of what Kristy means by each song title:
1. “15 Minutes Of Shame” = the amount of time I [Kristy] felt bad for brutalizing “8 Days a Week”
2. “Why Wait” to find decent songs. Just release whatever Carrie and Kellie didn’t want on their album
3. “Like My Mother Does”, I hope this gives me enough money so I can FINALLY move out of the house
4. “Hoping To Find” a career…any career….please let this work, please! I’ll sing Amazing Grace again if that will help.
5. “Baby Believe” that I really can sing despite what I did to “8 Days a Week”
6. “Not Tonight” – what Paul MacCartney said when I asked him if I could perform at his concert.
7. “Plant The Seed”. When in trouble, sing something patriotic
8. “I Think Too Much” – really? Okay, then.
9. “Homesick” – What I made people at home when I sang “8 Days a Week”. Sick.
10. “God Bless The USA” = “baby believe”, that this is the song that showed “I think to much” by “planting the seed” that I’ll do anything, “like my Mother does”, “hoping to find” a career. “Why wait” to become a good singer because there will be no “15 minutes of shame” by pretending to be “homesick” and patriotic at the same time.
Not a fan of Kristy’s music but that’s a pretty cover. Cute vlog too.
The horse is Mr Ed and he sings with Kristy Lee on ‘Not Tonight.’
^ ROFLLLL.
That’s a lot of horse.
They still have that category, but it is now called “Best Recording Package”. It’s given to the Art director. Last years winner was Adam Jones for the “10,000 days” (Tool). “Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package ” was awarded to the art directors for “Stadium Arcadium” (Red Hot Chili Peppers).
They give out a lot of Grammy’s. There is even one for “Best Album Notes” (Ken Barnes over at USA Today’s Idol Chatter used to write album notes and that’s why he is an official Grammy voter).
^^^
How do you get that gig? Are there auditions?
I wonder if Kristy already has an opening gig for some big name artist. In an interview she said that she will only have a few days off between the end of the tour until she’s back on the road. She probably meant a radio/TV promotional tour for her CD now that I think about it. She opened for Glenn (sp?) Campbell years ago.
This thread is too funny. Poor KFC – I mean, KLC.
Chicken anyone?
I like Kristy but the horse does look bored and slightly pissed off.
I still can’t believe that KLC, one of the worst, most boring performers, was the only other idol except the two Davids to get a contract from AI. Sorry, I’m still in shock over that one.
She looks gorgeous. Bless her heart.
ETA: Judy, it just proves once again that she was one of the ringers. Sad but true.
They’re even using the same horse back story crap. I don’t think it will work out in her case, but I’m not good at predictions. LOL. I’m not mad at her. She’s just trying to have a career. I’m more mad TPTB.
She is a gorgeous girl, no doubt about it. And that is one beautiful horse.
Really? Could this really happen?
For a vinyl, this would be totally worth a Grammy!
KLC, I wish you the best.
I’m sorry but that is ridiculous. It looks like a joke.
I thought the title “15 Minutes of Shame” was humiliating.
She’s very beautiful and her performance on the tour was entertaining, but someone in her camp is making very bad judgement calls.
It’s cheesy but in the lousy cover art it doesn’t come near the champs in that field: Kat (open crotch) and Blake (wtf?). Those albums actually cost sales IMO. This one “might” move a few units. It’s obvious they’re taking the easy route with her promo but she seems like a tough cookie.

Well, yeah, some girls are still horse crazy (says Mom, still cleaning horse sh*t and muck out of my boots and hay out of the trunk of my car from the 4-H fair horse stalls). But my daughter is all about the JoBros and also quite taken with David Archuleta and would never listen to Kristie Lee Cook (although she’d probably like a poster of the model horse to go on her wall shrine and coilection of Breyer horse).
Oh, hi everybody! It’s spoiler season – yay! Happy Idoling.
From rumors I have heard; that is her very personal horse, she had more then one, that one she sold on the show was her favorite barrel horse. I guess In her spare time she rides horses everyday, so I guess being on top of a horse for an album cover makes sense! She lives in the country so a lazy afternoon on a horse? I think it inviting, kind of like a great lifestyle to have.
GEEK: 15 MOS song is only humiliating if you make it so. Seems you just look for the worst in life, am I right?
JOLENE: David Archuleta’s CD has the same amount of time put into it, on tour only. Does that mean he does not care. He released the same time. I guess his label did the same thing as Kristy Cooks?
DOUBLE STANDARD PEOPLE: Just like the Jews in Germany, people need someone to rag on or destroy, cause it makes them feel better about themselves, when really they hate themselves, or they are bored and need excitement.
If Kristy was your sister or family would you jump on the band wagon and try to hurt her too, or would you defend her. Think before you are so petty and mean. I guess most of those who find a scapegoat for all THEIR own troubles are immature for sure.
Godwin’s Law
*snicker* Just wanted to get that in before the previous post disappears.
JoopShoop2: Archie and KLC each released a single on the same day, not a CD. Archie is still working on his CD. (As is David Cook) Kristy did hers in four days.
