American Idol contestant Joey Cook was voted off the show last night.
A “#SaveJoey” campaign on Twitter was not enough to save the Woodbridge native from elimination from the nationally televised singing competition. “Somebody to love” by Jefferson Airplane was the last song the 24-year-old singer performed on the show.
Cook took to Twitter following her elimination with a positive attitude.
ITS ONLY THE BEGINNING GUYS!! Thank you so much for your support, I couldn’t have done this alone pic.twitter.com/pjXDw8Zve5
