NEW YORK -- The praise of Mariah Carey couldn't rescue Kristy Lee Cook from elimination on "American Idol."

The 24-year-old country singer from Selma, Ore., was the latest casualty as the Fox sing-off narrowed the competition to six finalists.

Though guest mentor Carey said Cook's rendition of "Forever" gave her chills, judge Simon Cowell was not so impressed.

Brooke White and Syesha Mercado joined Cook with the lowest number of votes on Wednesday's results show.
