  • One of my favorite AI performances.

  • i love you crystal

  • What a sweet voice and great person. She defines music. She rises above all the pop stars of the 'corporate-driven' crap. She's a brightly shining light in a dark room...

  • I love how crystal isn't ashamed to sing about the Lord

  • she didnt need to win. She won in the end anyway :)

  • love this performance

    

  • This song gave me goosebumps!! She has such an incredibly amazing voice and puts so much emotion into her songs. She really should have song, she totally deserved it.

  • She reminds me so much of Eva Cassidy that sadly passed away.

  • She did win, Ive seen her in commercials with BB King, all she needed was for the public to hear her, she didnt have to win the contest, that means nothing.

  • @mainecoon1000

    Exactly. Look at Jennifer Hudson. Though, she has somewhat strayed from her true self, that woman can blow.....:)

  • She should have won!!! <3

  • Dont know why Chrystal didnt win she is awesome

  • lee should have been runner up!!!

    and it still makes me mad tht adam lambert did not win lol

  • Great job on a great song,,love Beck & Steward's version as well.

  • the winner AI not always is at 1st place

  • Real talent right here.. Love u crystal.. Keep doing your thing girl

  • WHY are all american women fat ugly whales?

  • @MyDadIzRich because of douche bags like you

  • @ohyesitsjennna Surely you are not stupid enogh to think i cause american women to be oversized cows? Or have you just no imagination to think of something better to say?

  • @MyDadIzRich first, i didnt say you cause them to be "fat ugly whales" i said people LIKE you. second, im not stupid. it's assholes like you that make these women feel insecure. most of them cure this insecurity by eating. third, whats wrong with a big women?? they're all beautiful. get a life jackass.

  • @ohyesitsjennna Being fat is unhealthy and disgusting to took at.

  • @MyDadIzRich how about the VOICE, how does it sound? Lemme guess you're the reason Justin Bieber and Kay Perry and everyother autotoned pretty package are so popular but forgotten in an instant, because it comes out of a pretty package instead of judging the music by its merits as music.

  • @nicklazzarinirocks i hate katy perry and detest bieber. No her voice sounds terrible. too creamy. KURT COBAIN IS BEST and he's not pretty....well, maybe he is...well anyway point is shes a fat whale and should die or at least get off the tv.

  • @MyDadIzRich Well this fat whale will be loved and admired by millions and adored for her natural god given talent, while you spend your days ranting about fat chicks who have no bearing on your life whatsoever but are somehow so offensive to you, you think they should die. Maybe some think you should die?

  • @nicklazzarinirocks SHE WONT BE LOVED AND ADORED FOR LONG CAUSE HER DIABETESWILL KILL HER XD Might as well get the harpoons

  • @MyDadIzRich disgusting in your eyes maybe. but who's to tell them how to live their life? if they want to be fat, so be it. if they cant control it, then they shouldn't be made fun of for it. i dont understand why people cant look passed the fat and see the beauty on the inside. why is this world so damn judgmental and discriminatory?

  • @MyDadIzRich no she isnt

  • @MyDadIzRich and I'm sure you have women lining the block for a turn to ride your fatass....oh wait.

  • @nicklazzarinirocks I doubt it

  • there was a couple of week when she was not excellent like this and Lee had a moment or two..she should had killed it every week but she is the best of that season anyway

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK THE JUDGES WERE ON DRUGS LAST YEAR AND CRYSTAL BOWERSOX SHOULD OF WON!

  • The 2nd best American Idol performance Ever, "People Get Ready!" The best American Idol performance Ever? "Up To The Mountain!" Both performed by Crystal Bowersox.

  • she is THE REAL WINNER

    she is THE REAL WINNER

    she is THE REAL WINNER

    she is THE REAL WINNER

    SHE IS 1000 000 000 TIMES BETTER THAN LEE

  • love 1:03 - 1:09

    I freaking love her voice

  • Crystal you are an amazing talent and you were burned on Idol but now Girl you are on fire!! You were on fire on this song too and always! HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!

  • I think Idol politics put her in a bad light. Simon favored Lee and it showed. I think the voting would have been quite different if she was in front of the judges they have now. But that doesn't count ... what counts are sales and her cd is selling quite well on Amazon. Better to rise slow and steady than be a shooting star, here today and gone tomorrow.  I think this generation will grow up knowing her and she will ensure that generations knows about boomer generation music.

  • I don't know who won that season, but I know Crystal Bowersox was there....

  • @theandithe Lee Dewyze lol

  • @dia734 Check out Ring of Fire by Dilana, it is THE BEST! Kris was way better than Lee!

  • So far no one can match this girl's talent. Even the new American Idol Season 10 acknowledge that. Steven Tyler & Jennifer Lopez were on Jay Leno Show, describing what they are looking for. Watch for yourself the interview on youtube, type "AI 10 JUDGES"

  • How anyone could dislike this is way beyond me. Beautiful, Crystal!

  • @innyslumber Also this is Lee's THIRD unsucessful Cd.  You are definitely entitled to your own opinion but please be real..Crystal was burned as was Adam on Idol. The voting system should change so that one person cannot place thousands of calls. If that continues Idol will not survive. They need to have the one with the most talent winning and for atleast 2 years now that didn't happen..record sales afterward tell the story. This isn't any type of war. True talent always shines through.

  • @LitZena Adam was not burned. He should not even been in the final. It should have been Danny and Kris.  Adam destroyed Ring of Fire. He is a very talented freak.

  • @innyslumber Fan wars? Sometimes the truth hurts. Lee was terrible in the finale all 3 songs; Crystal owned the stage: tweens enraged, each speedialed 2000 times 4 hrs. ..cd comes along; can only buy ONE EACH if Lee's lucky: Lee's sales lowest in Idol history of any winner or runner up..projected 40-45 lower still at 39 Crystal projected at 45-50 way higher at nearly 58. Lee Billboard #147 Crystal Billboard 100 higher at #47..Crystal rockin' Amazon.Lee barely hangin' on..These=facts only.

  • No not fans war. Just stating the facts. 1,2,3 rounds in finale Crystal was the clear winner - KO to lee. If u are good (crystal), it will show up in finale, and if u are bogus/pumped up (lee), it will show up too and thats what happened. Fan war? Please...be clear minded, this is singing competition, but unfortunately its hijacked by votes rigging with teens voting 2k times each. fan war?? please grow up. the sales in record is proof!!

  • @rloke DEAD ON! The sales is PROOF that crystal was the over all Winner.

  • @rloke too bad teen girls voted not in favor of talent but by "guy nxt door" aura..

  • @rloke Cyrstal was the most talented contestant since Sparks. Lee is good, but the teen girls who vote and vote while the rest of us vote once or twice won the intensity battle. Let's see who wins in the marketplace. So far Cyrstal. I wish both well.

  • she should have won but u know what she is more finale this was last yr am in the future now but will always remember she won 100% always an forever

  • No not fans war. Just stating the facts. 1,2,3 rounds in finale Crystal was the clear winner - KO to lee. If u are good (crystal), it will show up in finale, and if u are bogus/pumped up (lee), it will show up too and thats what happened. Fan war? Please...be clear minded, this is singing competition, but unfortunately its hijacked by votes rigging with teens voting 2k times each. fan war?? please grow up.

  • The fan wars are still going on? Anyway, as someone who preferred Lee to Crystal (she was my second favorite, though), I'm glad they're both happy doing what they love to do.

    And this is still one of my favorites from the season.

  • @donaford The problem with American Idol atleast this year is it wasn't a popularity contest; it was speedialing for four hours straight one person thousands of times apiece. If everyone could only dial once Crystal would have won by a landslide. When Lee bombed finale night the tweens even went crazier. You can dial 2000 times apiece but Lee's lucky if that same person bought 1 of his cd's hence the worst sale of any winner or runner up in AI history; Crystal beat by 19,000 copies!!

  • American Idol is a wonderful popularity contest with, occasionally, some very good singers. It gives those singers a chance to find an audience. It is what it is. And look at those singers, Kelly, Crystal, Adam, Jennifer, Carrie, Daugherty, Clay, Ruben, Fantasia, the list goes on and on. Millions of albums sold. How many of these we never would have had a chance to hear. So what if Lee or Kris or Taylor wins. Good for them. So what?

  • @buddymain1 In fairness to Lee, he co-wrote all but one on his Cd, too. The only difference is Crystal is a brilliant songwriter, and Lee is not a good songwriter.

  • I have to retract the CD offer; I do not think it's acceptable on Youtube and also I want everyone to purchase Crystal's CD to help her sales!

  • I will give a free CD unopened from Target to the best text in the next 24 hours. Just one CD even though I posted on several songs.

  • And she didn't win!??!!??  What an amazing voice!!!

  • Why did she start crying?

  • @sadielovesgizmo because her dad was in the audience. and the song was emotional for her.

  • I think she wants her hair to be brushed

  • WOW! That is all I can say.... WOW!!!!!!!

  • @MsDarkblade She will never need voice lessons; everyone realizes she has a beautiufl voice, rich and on key. As for the thirty pounds, she won't be forced to lose weight either. She is a strong woman! She has endured so much in her lifetime, childhood abuse, diabetes..etc etc. Do you know she has a CD about to be released on December 14th. Please buy one and also please buy them as Xmas gifts, it's incredible..called Farmer's Daugher!

  • Wow. Just wow. This is the first time I've actually listened to her sing. Tears started dripping before I realized it. I too, like her just the way she is. But soon, a publicist will get a hold of her and she'll stop bitting her nails, lose 30 pounds and be forced into voice lessons. Be Strong Crystal!

  • mama sox,please don't cry.

  • I do not understand how Lee Dewyze beat Crystal or Casey. They were the two top talents that whole season.

  • Comment removed

  • this is the first time i really saw her as a true star

  • JUST 11 MORE DAYS UNTIL CRYSTAL'S FIRST ALBUM IS RELEASED!

    ONLY 11 MORE DAYS.

    THANK YOU CRYSTAL!

  • GREAT SONG AND JUST THINK OF THE TITLE PEOPLE GET READY! AND WE ALL ARE AND HAVE WAITED WAY TOO LONG FOR CRYSTA'LS GROUNDBREAKIGN CD AND IT'S ALMOST HERE EVERYBODY! DECEMBER 14TH RELEASE; DON'T LET HER DOWN LIKE WE DID ON IDOL..IF WE ALL CALLED 2000 TIMES LIKE THE TWEENS SHE WOULD HAVE WON BY A LANDSLIDE..BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY HER CD'S AND GIVE AS XMAS GIFTS PLEASE AS I AM ALSO DOING! SOMEONE WILL HEAR HER AND TELL SOMEONE ELSE AND IT WILL CATCH LIKE WILDFIRE!! CRYSTAL IS THE ROCK'N'ROLL QUEEN

  • @suzpay1960 I just also want to say if we are going to continue to have talent shows where the winner wasn't the best talent, what is the point really? I mean if you want to be real about it and worry about the person who wasn't that great why don't we rename the show for what it is not American Idol but American Sympathy. My bumpersticker on my Toyota here in Vegas reads: CRYSTAL BOWERSOX AMERIKAN IDOL & the K in America stands for ALL AMERICAN not tweens rapidly speedialing!! CRYSTAL ROCKS

  • @suzpay1960 So please don't be clueless. 

  • @suzpay1960 I know you meant well but Taylor Hicks winning American Idol long before should have clued you in that taking the title for that show has less to do with talent and more to do with an unfair four hour continual voting system where tweens can call 2000 times apeice for a boy they want to marry, the reason could be as simple as that. American Idol does not make a sensation; Crystal was a sensation b4 she walked on that Idol stage. Lee already had 2 failed pre-Idol Cd's.

  • @suzpay1960 Lee "winning" won't make him a sensation. Crystal is a senstion because she's a brilliant singer/songwriter/performer/mu­sician. For Lee, you must be thinking of another show. That's called American Magician. BTW Lee's first week in sales for his cd if the lowest of any winner or even runner up in American Idol history! To be fair while promoting his poor paint salesman image Simon and Ryan should have mentioned his 2 already failed cd's pre-Idol Crystal always will be WINNER!

  • @jzdapimp09 Loved reading your text; about the pothead and everyhing, that's hysterdical; he's seems the type! Abotu Lee's "talent" yeah as much as my cousins at an Xmas party! SO TRUE ABOUT WHAT CRYSTAL HAS BEEN THROUGH; I FORGET TO ADDRESS THE PART ABOUT THE FAKE TEARS, HOW RIDICULOUS FOR HIM TO SAY! Crystal is so brave and had to be hospitalized mid-season; those tears were definitely real and full of gratefulness and love. CRYSTAL IS MEGA-TALENTED WITH A KILLER SONGLIST ON HER CD; STAR!

  • @kracl1c What are you jivin' about?! Did you check out his new CD..it should have been called Slumberland 2 because it can definitely work as a sleeping pill. Billboard projects it's the worst first week of an Idol winner ever in sales! Us Mag. said it's as interesting as "watching paint dry". Both papers from his home town agreed & gve negative reveiws. Another he got 2 out of 4 stars. Entertainment Weekly gave him a solid C. His rendition of Beautiful Day & he won, seriously?!

  • Comment removed

  • @kradlc How many beers have you had??

  • I read an article stating that American Idol is changing its format, no more David Cooks, Kris Allens & Lee Dewyzes hiding behind a guitar. I think its good because to be a real performer, you need to be by yourself, it just wasn't fair for the other contestants, Crystal is a real performer. :) I don't hate on the winners I just mentioned, besides, I like them all. :)

  • Best performace by Crystal Bowersox!

  • I loved it when she went "no no no"

  • One of my favorite singers on these kind of shows beside Leona Lewis, Danyl Johnston and Paul Potts.

  • @Masterbatingwithmom you got fuckin problems man, get a life.

  • Comment removed

  • Crystal's CD will be out in the middle of december, Only 3 songs on it that she didn't write herself. Can be preordered at her website...

  • @MasterbatingWithMom Judging by your username it appears you need a new hobby.

  • @ron54911 

  • @ron54911 That is funny because Lee's fans are all excited that he got to cowrite some of his songs on his album, Crystal wrote most of her songs. She doesn't need the help of writers like Lee did.

  • They had the best woman ever on Idol and she "loses" to an average (flat/offkey) singer?! Are you kidding me?!

  • @rloke If they can't even remember his name now, check back a year from now! Lee who? Oh, yeah, I use that drycleaners all the time!

  • Today i happened to listen to my radio channel and the DJcommened AI is going down coz there's no reason to watch (reason : the show lost its credibility). The radio DJ and her guest cant even remember the name of last season's winner LOL.

  • @bjstur44 Lee did not deserve to win. Crystal is a trillion times better; Lee often sings offkey and flat, Crystal will be a superstar! Just because Crystal likes Lee doesn't make him anymore talented. Why did he win then? Tweens calling tweens to speedial for four hours straight..young girls with LOTS of time on their hands. Get over it sounds like something from Germany. This is America; you can feel one way but their are millions and millions that feel Crystal was burned including me.

  • luv her

  • Preorder Crystals album . Its now for sale on her website

  • I could listen to this young woman sing this song every single day. This was really, really something special.

  • Crystal is my favorite. I am going to see her in concert in Oct. Lee is great too and deserved to win as well. I wish him nothing but the best. America voted for who they wanted and Lee was the choice. People need to get over it and let him have his crown. Crystal loves Lee and is happy for him. She knows her fans will be there for her.

  • loveee her.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @burodebar Shame on you America goes double for me!! Cyrstal is the best Idol has ever had on any given year; she definitely belongs on the cover of Rolling Stone where they just have to put a woman with clothes on again! Crystal is outrageously gifted and she is going to be an international superstar. Btw, you were too kind regarding Lee. Check back in a year's time and see if he isn't right there along side Taylor Hicks. Lee is the worst "winner" ever and can't even sing onkey/so flat!

  • i've been involved with music since the late 60s. i hate these programmes generally cos they are full of wannabees and neverwases! crystal is truly remarkable and this performance reduced me to tears. if he were still alive curtis mayfield would be crying too - the guy who won will be history in two years time - shame on you america

  • luv this performance!!!!!!

  • @TwiddleD214 Btw, I agree with you on two very key points you made, really you made my case for me: a. Crystal is a better singer than Lee. B. Lee NEEDED the title more than Crystal (huge understandment!). Newsflash: THIS IS A SINGING COMPETITION; CRYSTAL IS BY FAR THE BETTER SINGER 1+1=2 You say Lee improved the most; oh, really, then why is it that Crystal performed flawlessly on finale & Lee was terrible on all 3 songs! If you say because he was nervous, why did his pre-Idol cd's flop!

  • @LitZena While I agree with most everything you have written, please allow me to suggest that you check out my channel and blow off some steam before you continue. You will even find a "Crystal's Corner" Playlist if you begin to have withdrawls. LOL

  • @TwiddleD214 Lee was average all season, offkey vocals, flat and if he improved as much as you said he wouldn't have been terrible thoughout the finale. Btw this is not supposed to be about who improves again a talent competition shoud be about just that TALENt and Crystal is leaps and bounds more talented than Lee. Crystal didn't need to improve because she was absolutely astounding from the beginning to the end of Idol! Lee was always averge but the worst at the end of Idol with all 3 songs!!

  • @TwiddleD214 The USA doesn't lack credibility, Idol does! AMERICAN IDOL IS NOT THE USA! Very few Idol winners have gone on to be stars only Carrie and Kelly, both women. Last year, everybody knew Adam deserved the title and this year everybody knows Crystal deserved the title..you said it best when you said she has the best voice! Adam is outselling Kris hugely! Nobody cares about Taylor HIcks. The USA will speak; Crystal will be a huge megastar, Lee will be with Kris & Taylor Hicks.

  • @TwiddleD214 I apologize for saying that was the last one but I re-read what you wrote and please don't tell me what I am saying, I didn't tell you what you are saying. Also calling me nuts because my opinion is different from yours doesn't give your opinion more meaning than mine. American Idol does not speak for the USA! If it did Kris Allen would be the star not Adam Lambert! USA doesn't lack credibility and the USA will show you why; Taylor Hicks won, too, and the USA doesn't care!!

  • @TwiddleD214 This it the last one to you unless you write again. I have the right to my opnion and you to yours. American Idol "winners" rarely go on to be very sucessful; only a handful of contestants mostly female have become stars and Crystal will be huge star! She's a standout performer with an outrageously beautiful voice & incredible stage presence!! Lee like Kris last year but Kris is better than Lee is an average performer/offkey/flat tone. Namecalling can't change that.

  • @TwiddleD214 You know what, you have the right to your own opinion. I have the right to mine. I said Lee was offkey and average, a very bland individual and a clumsy performer. I said also that I don't ever write on Lee's Websites and that people and I am not referring to you come only on Crystal's sites to defend Lee. Crystal doesn't need defending; her talent is obvious and she will soar. I never called you "nuts" and name calling isn't going to make Lee less average.

  • The voting system is ridiculous on Idol and it's well known that men/boys rarely vote and that with unlimitied calling tweens vote many many times over the same person thousands of times. When they saw how terrible Lee did they made sure to speedial twice as much to "save" him but it's a shame that the truly gifted person did not win and that was Crystal by a trillion miles! Jennifer Hudson came in fourth and got the Academy Award. Taylor Hicks (who is better than Lee) won & who cares?!

  • @TwiddleD214 You said one key thing that's so true Crystal had the best voice! Lee is often offkey and has a very flat voice. With Taylor Hicks, David Cook, Kris Allen, & Lee DeWzye Idol has now produced so many boring men with sideburns they can form their own group and call it Average Joe. Crystal is amazingly gifted and when Lee's fifteen minutes like Taylor's & Kris's before him are over Crystal will get the superstardom she deserves!

  • Lee was average all season, offkey vocals, flat and if he improved as much as you said he wouldn't have been terrible thoughout the finale. Btw this is not supposed to be about who improves again a talent competition shoud be about just that TALENt and Crystal is leaps and bounds more talented than Lee. Crystal didn't need to improve because she was absolutely astounding from the beginning to the end of Idol! Lee was always averge but the worst at the end of Idol with all three songs!

  • @TwiddleD214 I don't know how long you have been watching Idol but the most talented winner absolutely didn't win for atleast two years in a row. The voting system gives you four hours unlimited calling and the vast majority of calls are tween girls and they call thousands of times apiece. It is an unfair system and it doesn't by any means stand for who America wants. The proof is in last year; Kris Allen won; Adam Lampert is much much better and today Adam is worlds more sucessful than Kris.

  • This girl rocks! I can't believe she didn't win. She would be a mega-star in the Gospel music world.

  • My little girl who is only seven loves Crystal and we watch her together a lot!!

  • @TwiddleD214 I believe those that should be sucessful are those that are truly gifted like Crystal; it was sad to see her not get the title she so genuinely deserved but ultimately it will be better for her to be without the stigma of Idol which has lost all credibility and become a joke. Atleast two years in a row the obivously much more talented person didn't "win" due to a ridiculous voting system & tweens speed-dialing. You are entitled to your opinon, this is America, have a great nite!

  • @TwiddleD214 There seems to be a neediness amongst Lee fans to "defend him". Crystal doesn't need defending because her defense is in her talent!  I never say anything on Lee's websites. But there are those and I am not referring to you who roam Crystal's websites just to try to defend Lee and really it only looks like desperation. Lee will have his fifteen minutes like Taylor Hicks before him but the real outrageously talented one, Crystal, is the true winner in the real world..SHE ROCKS!!

  • @TwiddleD214 You said it well when you said Lee NEEDED this. Talent competitions are supposed to be about just that TALENT. I am sure Kris NEEDED the title more than Adam also. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT WHO DESERVED IT AND THAT WAS DEFINITELY CRYSTAL! Crystal is by far a better singer and by far a better performer!. Lee is flat /offkey. He released 2 non-selling cd's b4 Idol. It shouldn't be about helping the worst contestant out. I'd rather win because I was better, wouldn't you?!

  • @TwiddleD214 It's a shame Idol has become Stepford Idol. No longer are artists recognized because they are wildly unique and outside the mold. For four hours straight each tween speedials two thousand times for the cutest boy left. Adam lost, too, and that was also a joke but this year was the worst: Crystal is a trillion times more talented than Lee! Kris Allen, David Cook, Taylor Hicks, Lee DeWyze Has anyone checked for batteries?! Renamed: BORING IDOL! Simon left at just the right time!

  • @TwiddleD214 I am not suggesting that Lee shouldn't live happily ever after but maybe he should be doing so as a paint salesman! He no more deserved the title than somebody would deserve the money when handed to them by a bankrobber Lee veers offkey often and has a flat tone plus he looks clumsy on stage. You can find "Lees" everywhere. Crystal is truly unique and extremely gifted! Lee already released two failed Cd's. He wouldn't need defending if he truly had the talent. He's average.

  • @suzpay1960 American Idol isn't supposed to be about who needed the title more, it should have been who deserved the title and that was definitely Crystal!! I agree with you that Crystal already is a sensation and doesn't need the stigma of being titled American Idol, a show which now lacks complete credibiltiy. I disagree that "winning" can make Lee into a sensation when he is average, offkey and sings flat. That show is American Magician!! Lee, like Taylor Hicks, has only his 15 minutes.

  • @LitZena Well said. This is what its all about.

  • @LitZena Think positive...LEE and Crystal MOMMA SOX both getting deals and will make bank and live happily ever after!

  • @LitZena I agreed with you on a point....Crystal....had the best voice...but she didn't IMPROVE the most....Lee did......and AMERICA voted for Lee.....which is what idol is looking for..... Lee will get TONS of records sold...either way, Lee and Crystal are AMAZING! They both will end up big and famous!! Lee is not "average" either....you are nuts... And the show doesn't lack credibility... IT IS AMERICA THAT VOTES....not the judges..so how can it lack credibility??? U r saying USA lacks IT!!

  • @LitZena Ya, considering his new song Sweet Serendipity is absolutely terrible, Lee definately didnt deserve to win american idol and he definately wont amount to anything in singing......<-------SARCASM And I love how she faked the tears at the end. shes more of an actress than a singer.

  • @kract1c no you had it right before the sarcasm, then you started snorting and that was that.

  • @kract1c Fake??? If you knew what Crystal's been through you wouldn't say that. Those are real. I know Lee too. He went to high school with a lot of my buddies. Hes just a pothead kid who was always into music. Dont get me wrong he has talent but he doesnt compare to Crystal. Go check out her originals on Youtube and you'll know what I mean. I've listened to Lee's stuff...its boring. Crystal has is an amazing songwriter. She has personality. And she has sooo much soul

  • @LitZena couldn't have said it better myself. I couldn't believe it when Ryan called Lee's name, or the year before when they called kris and not Adam..this is so fixed!

  • @LitZena well said. She is the true winner.  Her album came out recently. Compare it to Lee's. Much better. She wrote or co-wrote most of the songs where he is just a "cover". She is great.

  • American Idol was not supposed to be about who needed the title more, it should have been about who deserved the title and that was definitely Crystal!!!!!!!

  • @LitZena

    Yes, Crystal is the best performer and rightful winner.

  • @TwiddleD214 Crystal is an absolutely amazing singer! Lee is very average, he often sings offkey and has a really flat edge to his voice. Even when he isn't nervous he has bad stage presence, looks really awkward on stage. Are you aware that besides being a "paintsalesman" Lee already released two failed cd's before he was ever on American Idol? I am not even sure that compies with the rules but Crystal was definitely robbed. She will be better off without the stigma of American Idol.

  • Absolutely beautiful! Time and time again Crystal proved why she was the frontrunner from the start; SHE IS BY FAR THE BEST!! In the finale Crystal proved once again why she deserved the title and why she was always the frontrunner. It's a shame just to add some drama that the judges had to pimp that poor hardworker paint salesman balony when really Crystal was the one with both the hard life and the true talent! TALENT WILL ULTIMATELY WIN! Lee better enjoy his fifteen minutes of fame!!

  • crystal awesome!

  • @rloke You looked him up, is that what you are referring to?! Thanks!!!! Yeah, he is particularly cute on Rockband 2 playing on his guitar. I mean this boy is so much better than Lee DeWyze!

  • @LitZena

    Yes, u are correct! This boy will have a bright future like Crystal.

  • Okay this is the one to please check on Youtube. Go to Alex Idol (in that order Alex Idol) and when you get there the seventh is Alex Idol Rockband 2 where he has his guitar and he is WAY BETTER than Lee DeWyze!!

  • Please check out on Youtube this! Go to Alex Idol and when you get there look at Alex Idol Rockband1 This boy is so much better than Lee DeWyze! All his clips are great but I love the one where he's got th guitar!

  • @LitZena

    Yes u are right!
