Britney Spears a Mentor to American Idol Finalist Kristy Lee Cook

Many are shocked that the country singing cutie Kristy Lee Cook is still alive on American Idol after so many disappointing performances but she has made the tour as she is now in the top ten. But she did have quite the mentor, the Oregon native was once mentored by Britney Spears way back when Britney was still on top of the pop world.

Kristy Lee was once thought to be the next Carrie Underwood but that certainly isn't happening anytime soon as she has been in the bottom three for the last few weeks as she has taken some incredible risks with some different songs and all have fallen flat. She seems like she really does have talent but it has yet to show itself on the American idol stage. Still as the last contestant standing that sings country music, she might be able to hang on just a few more weeks with some decent performances.

So, can Britney take credit? Probably not. But according to E! Online the pair were very close in 2003 and Britney was quite infatuated with the then 17-year old talent. They have an adorable photo of the pair here.

According to the report, "Britney would tell her how beautiful and talented she was," says Marty Rendleman, Kristy’s manager at the time. "She told her that she would do whatever she needed to promote her and help launch her career." National Ledger - Britney Spears a Mentor to American Idol Finalist Kristy Lee Cook
