Crystal is the best by far. She is just what the show needs, someone with real talent. Lee is okay but his foot stomping at random times bothers me. Crystal seems like a good person and a GREAT SINGER. Tied to be the best ever on the show for me (next to Carrie Underwood)

I haven't really watched American Idol a lot in the past, my girlfriend loves the show but I can never really get into it, until now. The night Crystal sang CCR's As Long As I Can See The Light, I have not missed a show. I tune in every week to see her and her alone. I'm not here to rag on all the other contestants for not entertaining me musically the way Bowersox does, every one of them is talented but just not what I would listen to. Crystal on the other hand is special... very, very special. I am just a guy who loves great music, and I can tell she has that gift.. she will do great things. Hope she keeps making great music for generations to come...

Crystal you have done exceptionally well right thruout the show. You have given a few good performances and remained cool thruout.You sing your heart out becos it is ur passion and desire.I kind of feel that you have very good chances of winning this show of the season, just keep your feet on the ground nd stay balance, if you know yourself which I feel you do, you will use the tools to the best of your advantage. When you can take us to another place with your song and move everyone they will vote you all the way. Crystal stay being you Hollywood is a place but not you, you better than that. Alot of musicians started off by busking and entered talent shows etc. American Idol has been a journey that is a lifetime for those to even make it through. You have come along way Crystal and shined, the journey is an adventure you chosed this and said yes I will do it in another life and flourishing. All the best Crystal winning is nice but the main thiing you want to take with it is that God g

I just love Crystal's style! I am 60 years old and cannot believe that she is able to capture the spirit of the '60's and the amazing current sound of today! I don't know if the teeny boppers who vote will let go of Casey's charming smile and realize that Crystal is the American Idol we deserve!
As a photographer, I'd love to do her head shots...oh, well.

My wife and I been avid fans of Idol each and every year. I have been impressed with a lot of the contestants but I will say that in all that time Crystal is the first performer I have seen and heard who I would actually purchase a CD of her music. In fact I cannot wait until I can purchase her CD. This woman has by far the greatest natural talent that I have seen on Idol and I have been around a long time. If the younger generation understands her music as I do she will go a very long way. Thanks for this forum.

Crystal will win and even if she doesn't, she's going to have a great musical career anyways. If the AI contestants make it to the last three, you know they're going to get signed...how they will prosper depends on how much interest they generated from the show. Along with being massively talented, she's also generated lots of interest...so she can't lose.

i liked crystal from the first time she sang on American Idol. She is mesmerizing, is classy in a natural way and so talented that she is by far the best one on the show. She is No. 1 and should win hands down. She has my vote and I can not wait until her first CD comes out. she should put all of her songs she has sung on the show on it. Go crystal, you are the best!!!
CRYSTAL BOWERSOX ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED IDOLS EVER. IF SOMEONE ELSE WINS THIS SHOW IT BE AN EVEN BIGGER JOKE THAN LAST YEAR. I'M NOT SURE WHATS GOING ON WITH SIMON, BUT HE HAS LOST HIS MIND. CRYSTALS SONG LAST WEEK WAS AWESOME. THIS GIRL HAS PAID HER DUES AND AT SUCH AN EARLY AGE. HER SONGS, FARMERS DAUGHTER AND MAMA TELL IT ALL. THANK GOD SHE NEVER GAVE UP. VOTE,VOTE,VOTE ALL THE WAY TO THE END AND MAKE HER THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL!!!

The judges have turned on Crystal! I don't know if it's part of the confidence game they play,"Pump another contestant up to create more interest" to suck in the viewers. I've listened to, "Summer Wind" numerous times and it was just beautiful! Flawless! Far better than the critique Crystal was given. Crystal has given us, week after week, great performances and it has been a sweet emotional ride. Crystal, for whatever it's worth, "I've got your back!" All Crystal fans, "Comon, get on Board!"

This is my opinion. I like Shania Twain,great songs but I think they were more of a popular music using country as a format. Feel like a women no way is that a country song and from this moment. Crystal did a good job doing so called country song by more of a pop singer.Crystal is as she said folk rock or folk rock and blues and we all dont like every song on every artist cd.

Crystal Bowersox is totally totally awesome, she is a down to earth person and an absolute pleasure to listen to, we need more artist like Crystal. She is a beautiful person inside and out, and it dosen't take a geniuse to see this. Keep doing what you do best and I will be the first one on line to buy every CD she makes.

Crystal Bowersox, you are the first singer to come along in over twenty years that makes me cry with joy every time I hear you. You are up there with Janis, Grace, Maria Muldaur and the handful of other female icons of rock. Thank you for showing us all what music really is all about.

Crystal is very talented and not that I am a fan of dreadlocks and face piercing but I do not judge people for having those things or their outside appearance. She can sing and sort of reminds me of a combination of Jewel and Alison Kraus. Honestly I think at this stage of the show one needs to be careful of major changes and as dumb as it sounds, you may turn your voters off if you suddenly make a major appearance change, (note the dreadful hair cut of Monica and that other show when the girl (can't remember the name) cut her hair and now it is on one of the top 100 mistakes show and sent her ratings falling). People are funny that way. In any event she will be fine as will all the top 12. Even if she does not win, she will make it and not have to commit to AI for the additional year. It is OK not to like her as a singer, but really not liking her because of her appearance on a singing contest, kind of lame and shows an underlying bigot personality. The past two years I have watche

If anybody thinks Crystal couldn't hit the notes on her "People Get Ready" live performance, just listen to the Idol Studio version. Amazing! This girl is in it for all the right reasons. She has a great attitude, values and is sooo well grounded. To say nothing of her having more talent than boat-loads of many of the "singers" around today. You go girl!! Canada loves Crystal!

crystal has moved from one format to another better than all the other singers.She is folk rock and blues.A singer has to remember the lines I think she could act.The buckeye girl already has my vote. I have never voted before this year until I saw crystal with the hair,beads,pierce and great voice that tops it off and of course the intruments.
