this studio version is superb, but the live performance on Idol was truly amazing. Clarkson with Jeff Beck is a wonderful ride as well. Susan Boyle and Stacey Francis come on people try a Q-tip or sobering up !
@bmoliveras They are all different. Styles, range, etc. Each has certain songs that sound as though they were made just for them (and in some cases this is probably true) That's like saying which is best an avacado, a bananna, an apple, or an orange. Don't be a pineapple. (little joke!!) PEACE!!
The song comes to life in her and we get it, feel it, live it. I've never heard any other performer that can do it like Crystal. She is an artist and I love her work.
what this kid has cant be learned or earned.. she has the "IT" factor beyond words.. she oozes Truth and Justice w/no compromise or aploigies to this dam worlds Merchants, who seek to make us all whores in 1 way or another.. thank God for the Crystal Bowersoxes of this world.. they are Few but they are True... they give us Hope.. Her name Crystal means "Briliantly Pure"
@Sue19551 You precious woman, I feel a broken heart for you however she is in Jesus arms now hallelujah! I am looking forward to walking barefoot on the golden streets with my daughter whom I miscarried. I am sure she is Jesus friend and now a grown young woman who talks His ear off if she is like me,her Mom!
This Brougth Tears to my eyes...wow...I wish her the Best of luck...and i Believe she will go far.. sing it girl you have that Country Gospel Voice...Im loving it :)
@HLeeD18 I agree with you, Crystal is WAY better than Lee, way better on stage too whereas Lee is clumsy! Is the Lee and D in your name for Lee DeWyze?
@HLeeD18 i dont disagree, however, these shows arent entirely about pure talent, they should be, but they arent. if more people liked Crystal then logically they would have voted for her instead of Lee, it just shows that he was more popular. and you dont have to be a vocal major to see great musicians and talent, the only thing you need is a set of ears...and everybody has them :) dont misunderstand any of this, i aint having a go, just giving my views :)
but american idol isn't just on singing talent, it's on looks, personality, star power, etc. i actually think she should have won, though. also, she's much better live than recorded, so she's not really a radio singer.
I hate a lot of studio recordings because the emotion is never there like it was live. When she performed this on AI, she put it all out there...This recording is very disappointing.
I think both are great artists!! i must confess i expected crystal to win but even when she didn't she is still the most talented person i've ever heard. don't be so hard with lee he is such a lovely boy and he have a sweet-pithcy voice and i also love him
She has the original voice and her talent is unique. No problem being a successful artist even if she isnt the idol.
Whats important was she showed to MILLIONS OF WITNESSES worldwide in the finale 2 against the so-called "amazing voice" (lee) - that she rose to occasion and wiped him away. Thats the recognition she needs. Title that is not earned based on true talent is valueless
I would have been the first to admit that Lee was better that night if he had been. But without doubt Crystal was the better performer/singer during the finals & for the majority of the season.
soo true, its like a deja-vu from last years result .. last year adam should have won, and this year she should have won, not that i dont like lee but i just dont like him as much as her ..
@p3erf80g4949 They both already have record deals.Lee isn't even as good as Michael or Casey so he doesn't even begin to measure up to Crystal.Her record sales will soar and his will be in the garbage.
this woman is 100% Beautiful,sexy, Talent Wow she just thrills me in my heart....

I think she should have won. In fact I would have bet money she would have won.But I would have lost. I guess only teenage girls voted more for Lee.
