She's a long way from a farm in Ohio now.

Crystal cites Janis Joplin. Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge and Sista Otis as musical influences.
Below, you can watch and listen to her perform on stage and offer your critical take on her prospects: Might she be the next American Idol?

I have it on good authority that "Don", who posted here on March 29, loves the cock. So much so that all the thrusts to his head have turned what little brain he once had to mush, hence his worthless opinion.
Crystal will win, deservedly so, and it will be because the majority of people who appreciate talent will vote for her, much to the chagrin of jerks like Don-boy.

Crystal reminds me of the back woods. She will make enough money to fix her teeth, but that doesn't fix her performance which is lacking. I know she will get a record deal and those who enjoy folk music will be thrilled but on stage she has alot to be desired. She is the Gomer Pyle of American Idol

I really like Crystal but I hope she will do more than just stand on a carpet. I can just see tht carpet being hauled from one idol concert to another. I think if she wins, it will be boring because she will take the spot and sing three of her songs and they will blend as one. Folk singing is really just singing without stage performance. I guess she will let the audience sing along. That is why I hope she begins to change the way she performs.
