'American Idol' alum Kristy Lee Cook has parted ways with Arista Nashville once again. The country singer was first signed to the record label in 1999, also inking a deal two years later with BMI and with Britney Spears' production company as its first signed artist. Cook was dropped from the label before any music was released.Cook did release an album on an independent label, Ren-Hen Records, in 2005. But 'Idol' was her big break, as she made it to the Top 7 on the seventh season of the wildly popular show. She signed with Arista shortly after the show wrapped, releasing her debut album, 'Why Wait,' this past September. Its first single, '15 Minutes of Shame,' hit the Top 30, but no other singles from the album were officially released to country radio.

I've never heard her sing but labels really suck these days. I run an indie label and we don't drop artist that way. Anyhow, the business is run by a bunch suits and if they don't make their numbers off you go.

It's sad that AOL sensationalizes and misrepresents every news headline- I'm so sick of this.

She is a decent singer and her material must be awful but still this is unfortunate. but then again you know who didn't have a label for awhile? Glasvegas. I'm pretty sure they're doing alright. I'm ina band! We haven't ever been dropped by our label. They're really good to us.

she sucked on american idol.....and the label saved production for an album that would have sucked. HOORAY FOR A LABEL GETTING SOMETHING RIGHT FOR ONCE.

there he is again, David Cook.I just picture flies flying around him that little kid on Peanuts that was always so scuffy. I don't remember there being a person that I had a harder time looking at than David he's just so messy looking, the hair the beard, it just like someone who just got out of bed. Somebody give the boy a make over, many he needs it and then he'll be complete since he does have a decent voice.
