  • Interesting post.

  • Here's the deal......Crystal goes into a trance, the song comes alive in her body then pours out like a hurricane. Damn, that song built momentum like a friggin freight train! Nobody else can do that.

  • Thumbs up if you're still pissed she didn't win!

  • 107 people don't know good music when they hear it. Crystal is awesome.

  • Chicos q les pasa? la Pink es una reputa de mierda no piensan lo mismo???

  • Fuck pink!! sorry I dunno who is this Crystal but she sings it much better then that bitch pink! and think she's not a real singer yet!?!?!

    thers no like Janis in the whole world, love her R.I.P

  • @royroy95 Actually, she is a "real singer" whatever that means. She has a song called Farmer's Daughter which you can hear on YouTube, and it's also the first single off her ALBUM.

    Love Pink, love Crystal, RIP the brilliant and legendary Janis Joplin.

  • @RainyDayzandFunDayz Ok thanx, if u say so alright then.

  • this is good love her..but pink kiles this song...

  • Luv this version as I have luved Pinks!!

  • All the idiots who voted her off should have their head examined! She is brilliant!

  • Her performance was really brilliant

  • the fool that wrote Crystal sucks, and she was spoonfed has absolutely no idea what they are saying......she is a natural talent and she was never spoon fed...this girl earned her bumps and bruises.....I know coming from the town she grew up in....she is terrific

  • @celticgreenful You're obviously biased! That said, Crystal sang beautifully.

  • This should have been the winner! OHIO BOUND!

  • I just entered a photo contest to see her live and didn't know who I was entering to see. WOW. glad I checked this gal out.

  • Chrystal is the very best female singer in the music business today .People keep saying she sounds like a lot of singers -she does not -she sounds like the wonderful Chrystal and no one else.as for soul she has it in spades.

  • Easily one of the biggest talents and best voices to ever come out of Idol. Shame she didn't win.

  • Crystal is a bigger star even if she didn't win on American Idol. I was absolutely SURE she would win the entire thing. But too many teeny boppers voted Lee Dewyze.

  • Crystal is having a great career. proving that you don't have to win American Idol to be successful. Some other non-winners come to mind. I seem to recall a guy named Daughtry! And another named Adam Lambert! And a girl named Jennifer Hudson! Not too shabby a list.

  • Crystal Bowersox: reincarnated Janis Joplin.

  • @jdubayou12 i saw her cover two janis songs live in toledo at this small bar called the village idiot....

    i thought the exact same thing while watching it...and i wasn't even expecting a show that night...i was just going to drink some beer

    she has all the goods..hearing her with no tricks...it made me cry several times

  • Pinks version just goes to show how amazingly and exceptionally tallented she is, very few are as good as Pink.

  • @muffhumper musically speaking, pink is as talented as sid vicious

    from a marketing point of view...pink is awesome, and her 'punk rock" attitude and her 'rebel girl' style are very marketable...but don't insult the world by saying she's anything other than a performer, who has no musical talent, but has immense stage presence that gets dumb girls to think she's musically talented

    come on now...you like her, that's cool..i like nirvana, they aren't breaking the laws of music..they just sounded

  • BETTER THAN PINK!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Pinks version, which was absolutely devastating? Pink with her voice can blow away Crystal Bowersox from stage .

  • @djdelevic THIS SONG SUNG SO WELL BY MAMA.SOX MADE PINK TURN BLUE

  • @stickitupyourasteric It's ok that you prefer Crystal Bowersox, Janis Joplin sang this song at absolutely the best. And Pink's voice is closest to her voice. Crystal Bowersox voice is too soft for this type of song.

  • @djdelevic It seems that your unable to hear the song if its not by the original artist,

  • her album is AMAZING. love it. best purchase i've made in a long time!

  • You know she got the exposure on American Idol..for that I'm greatfull, because she is unique. She is going to be a great singer/song writer and will have her following. I do hope she stays true to herself and won't let people tell her she has to change her style, because that would make her generic version of all the other artist out there. I will buy her records, screw AI, we do not need them to tell us who has talent.

  • Lee might hv won. but he won't last

  • @stanstead74 u r underestimating him..

  • You know i watched Crystal from the very first audition, and all i can say is that in my option she was the best, iam sorry she has changed my life with her music, plain and simple, CRYSTAL, just so you know you are so beautiful and such a great talent, i hope to see alot from you very very, soon,,,GLBT, just do it girl, we are very proud of you, and again you have changed not only my life , but alot of others, in my community,,THANK YOU VERY MUCH,,god bless

  • I'm still without knowing why she didn't win

  • Everything she did was great but this, to my way of thinking, was her VERY best.

  • complete performer

  • crystal did not need to win she is allready a winner and the world is going to see a lot from mamasocks

  • Pink was absolutely devestating?? fool

  • Crystal, 1000 times better than Lee...Just saying, WE KNOW!!!!!! Lee, No way, can't touch this.....

  • Crystal 1000 times better than Lee...Just saying, WE KNOW!!!!!! Lee, No way, can't touch this.....

  • Crystal 1000 times better than Lee...just saying WE KNOW

  • It is obvious that Janis had a big influence in Crystal's style of singing.  However I think Crystal is going to match that if not top it. I have always been a huge Janis fan. It is refreshing to see a young face that knows what soul really means. Crystal, thank you for being who you are!

  • Love crystal miss Janis

  • Ms. Bowersox in unquestionably one of the finest musicians/singers to have gained exposure through American Idol.

  • Total soul straight from the deepest region a person can go while singing; Crystal is true artist as opposed to others who pretend to me..you know who you are.

  • she is the best person in the world

  • @cheerrocks1115xoxo "she is the best person in the world" -- well, at least since Mother Teresa, Gandhi, M.L. King, Jr., Elie Wiesel, Nelson Mandela, Jesus, etc. have all passed away! ;}

  • My fav version of Crystal singing this song is the you tube version with Frankie May when she opened for the Doobie Bros. in December in San Diego. She also sang this song and Piece of My Heart opening for the Doobies in SF few days later. In the SF audience were members of Big Brother & the Holding Co. Classic.

  • I say Crystal's version is absolutely devastating. But i guess young ears don't know music as well as old ears. :)

  • wow! amazing!

  • Man she rocks!!!! Almost as good as Janis !!!

  • damn. amazing. just listened to Pinks version, which was absolutely devastating. then clicked here thinking i would see a 'cheesy" IDOL ametuer Version, and boy was i wrong! Crystal did a fabulous job.

  • holy pipes!

  • she is amazing.

  • There was only one person who could ever sing this song and really make it something and that was Janis Joplin, but when i heard Pink sing it she just blew me away with it. This version with Crystal Bowersox lacks what the song needs. Sorry but Pink wins hands down.

  • @MicheeeeeObiMrs  put the needle down, your already high.

  • I love her!!! she's still a winner for me, I think she's a mile better than Lee..

  • @kandace623 Different strokes for different folks, so why don't you stroke yours and fuckin' choke on it.

  • @beylerk Don't worry, we will all remember Crystal and buy her CD like freaking crazy for ourselves and for XMAS gifts! So true, all you wrote about Lee and btw he has the worst first week sales in Idol history of not only all winners but also all runner ups! As bad as Sweet Serendipity is, most of the other songs are far worse. Crystal was totally burned! After he butchered Beautiful Day Simon said the shows about giving somebody who needs it a break..what happened to beiang about talent!!

  • @kandace623 You got that right! Lee's CD is the worst first week seller in Idol history of any winner or even runner up! For anyone who said he improved why then did he flop on all three finale songs? And for anyone who said he was just nervous, why then did he flop on his post Idol cd? Face facts..CRYSTAL IS THE MUSICAL QUEEN AND OFFKEY LEE COULDN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO HER!!

  • @ThePenetrator1000 I hope you choke on your own shit. You have a dirty mouth Noob

  • @ThePenetrator1000 your a cunt, now fuck off noob

  • Yea!!! Her 1st album comes out in December

  • lol my friends last name is mcgee! crystal is really good

  • OMG! this is the Janis reincarnation!! :)

  • I hope people don't forget about Crystal by the time her album comes out in December. Lee didn't deserve to win by any means!! He is just a mess, and so is his first single 'Sweet Serendipity.' It's this awful little Pop contraption that I'm sure his new label managers made him record. Crystal is just better on all aspects of an artist. Voice, style, charisma, and lasting appeal. Little girls who voted for Lee can vote on this show a million times, but they can only buy his album once.

  • @beylerk Who says they can only buy it once? By the time Daddy finds out she has been using his credit card, she could have sent gift copies to all her friends, all the way up to his credit limit! ;)

  • i wish she won.....

  • @basketballgirly11 Don't you hate people who post on these forums when all they have to say is "Me Too"? I am NOT one of them! I say, "Me Too -- TOTALLY!"

  • @jamesiegod hahaha

  • crystal bowersox should have been this years american idol! down to their last performances lee got a lot of criticism where as crystal was being praised, i thought america would have taken that into account, but the did not! america picked wrong AGAIN, i also think that adam lambert should have won but some how i think his sexuality was why he lost which is a shame! he definitely has more hit songs than...who was the guy he lost to?

  • Crystal Bowersox, fire your dentist immediately!

  • @DudeDudeDude857 Lol nice

  • This girl can not sing,but then I am not a teenager listening with a hard on.lol 

  • @TheWickerman48 you are crazy - Crystal has an amazing voice and if you think otherwise you obviously don't know talent.

  • Let's face it. Even the Lee fans know that he got smoked in the final. On every song.

    But the teenybopper text-happy girls voting for the cutest guy absolutely control the vote. I wish I could remember the name of the live blogger that said "no girl will ever win American Idol again".

    Sad, but true. I look forward to seeing a lot of Crystal in the future, though.

  • it doesnt even matter who wins this show anymore..

    like, we've seen from time and tiime again that the runner ups usually have the better careers than the winners. example: adam lambert > kris allen

  • @veronicachic Actually, all that Adam Lambert is doing is wrestling the paperazzi and kissing guys. At last Kris Allen is trying to make a music career.

  • @Dawntele Hmmm well considering Kris is NEVER on the radio, and Adam has released 4 or 5 singles since his cd was released, plus is working on his second cd, I think you should get your facts straight before slamming Adam. Oh and his concerts are selling out almost immediately whereas I haven't heard anything from Kris.

  • @misschristine3451 Adam may be selling singles, but his music is shit. He can't sing, but he can scream. I've heard Kris Allen six times on the radio, so you should get your facts straight.

  • Comment removed

  • @Dawntele Hmm then you haven't heard his cd. And don't get mad at me as the radio stations where I live never play Kris or Lee....so I do have my facts straight.

  • @misschristine3451 Than don't me mad at me when the radio stations where I live always play Kris.

  • This version is great, but you can't touch the P!nk version ;] Love Crystal though

  • @sugarychocobot u r on crack

  • I liked Lee's voice better.....she annoys me. Sorry

  • out of all of the contestants from this season, crystal and siobhan are the ones i actually remember and still want to hear now.

  • @Khadaj32 You need your head examined. This little fire crackers is the real deal.  Lee lacks origionality. Not even comparable. I´m a musician and this girl has the tools to be great. Once again they picked the worst of the finalist. This show should be called Americas got talent and we want to let the 2nd best win so they to will get a record deal. lol.

  • @Khadaj32 You need your head examined. This little fire crackers is the real deal. Lee lacks origionality.

  • I love the build up to the end. She only had 2 mins to make a statement and she completely blew everyone else away.......

  • Crystal never skipped a beat . She blew it up 189% 

  • she has talent and the lee dude doesn't. She will be the only one with a career.

  • I just listened to Janis's original and then went straight to this one and I'm telling you what..Crystal did the best cover ever; she has the depth and soul to match Janis and I am posiitve that if Janis were alive today, she would have been amazed by Crystal and if she were watching American Idol she would have been devastated to see that in 2010 there's a show now that tweens speedial thousands of times each for four hours straight to crown an offkey flat singer instead of Crystal..the Queen!

  • I could listen to Crystal over and over. I love her style. I was born in the fifties and Joplin was big when I was a teenager. Crystal sounds so much like her, but I actually like Crystal's style and voice better. She's so new and fresh and I hope she stays true to herself and keeps singing the way she does and doesn't give in to the record industry that will want to make her a pop star instead of who she really is and how she sings.. I

    I Love her Hippy Look, brings back memories.

    .

  • How she lost to Lee, I will never know. We need more artists like Crystal, real music died the day auto tune was invented.

  • @neelhtakblog Where IS Lee anyway? He is NEVER on the radio where I live...

  • Chrystal is the best to ever be on Idol and she is beautiful inside and out ,I wish her CD would hurry up and come out.

  • If u ask me 10 years from now, I will remember almost every performance by Bowersox. I can't remember even one of DeWize?? right now!

  • @Khadaj32 Wrong. Crystal was 100% better then Lee. She proved that with all of her performances. Lee had a couple off nights. Crystal DID NOT. So that Proves my point that Crystal was better. Lee is another David Cook, Did we really need another one of those? NO.

  • @Kara899

    Yes! Spot on!

  • @Kara899 1st off Cook was 10x better than Archuleta, and while crystal was better than lee, they were both great. so shut up

  • @Comfortblynumb12 You telling me to shut up? This is ages ago and you are still talking about it. You shut up.

  • @Kara899 haha, no u shut up.

  • @Kara899 haha, no u shut up.

  • @Kara899

    u are absolutely right!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Kara899: I will not dispute that Crystal was better than Lee, but please do not even compare Lee to David Cook. Just because they both play the guitar, doesn't mean they're the same. Cook's sense of musicality and vocal ability surpasses Lee by thousand miles. I'm not even going to point out all of Cook's great moments on Idol. Instead, I will direct you to a group performance (Shout To The Lord) when he proved why he is better than the rest of that group.

  • @micahholbrooke I'm on that "Crystal >> Lee" train, also I agree with you concerning D. Cook. I'm a D. Cook fan. This is (out of many (note "Saved", "Long As I Can See The Light") proof that Crystal got ROBBED.

    -

    Season 8, a finale where I was happy for either one. Adam and Kris - crazy talented musically. Adam was superior vocally, Kris put a current spin on songs. Season 9? Not so much. Crystal outperformed Lee, especially in the finale. Hellooo? Up To The Mountain vs. Beautiful PITCHYY Day?

  • @Kara899 proves nothing. proves that you have an opinion on who's better.

  • @Kara899 i agree with everything you said except the comparison to David Cook. That's like saying a chipmunk is as ferocious as a tiger!! Lee What's-his-name was a crap singer. How he ever won I'll never understand. But then again numbers don't lie: he's had crap sales for his album.

  • Well, the first offical music video by a Season 9 "American Idol" alum is out, and it's not by Lee DeWyze, or Crystal Bowersox, not even by anyone who made it to the top 10...It's by Alex Lambert. Check it out "I didn't Know" official music video

  • It was a tough decision for me because I liked Crystal, Lee, and Casey. But I ended up voting for Crystal because she was the best. I like all three of them because they are all talented. I hope that they all have great music careers. And Crystal will be a big star. A voice like hers doesn't come along every day. She is a great singer and performer.

  • they can really f*uck up good songs at idols ..

  • AMAZING

  • I'll never understand fully, why crystal didn't win american idol.

  • Bull. Lee will NOT be forgotten, that is a joke. Because he has many many more fans then this woman.

  • speaking of lee has he even put out a cd yet cause ive heard nothing about him so wth

  • Crystal could do no wrong EXCELLENT still loving it and you as always!!!!

  • I love her voice <3!

  • Chrystal, you should've won...

  • Crystal rocks hands down. she is an awsome performer, i imagine she is an awsome person! All this and she is super SEXY MMmmMMmmM lol

  • SHE IS A STAR !!!

  • Comment removed

  • @Baraz2003 Did I say something? Nope so wtf are you saying.

  • @Baraz2003 her career so far is nothing great so far as your prediction says

  • @akira955 Have you even listened to hear albumn? Her career is going great.

  • oh goodness it is amazeing!!!

  • i hate this dirty ugly hippy with and without her missing teeth

  • @poopmuncherz I totally value your opinion. POOP MUNCHER. And you say that the lovely Crystal Bowersox is dirty and ugly. Your username is SO APPROPRIATE.

  • fantastic

  • because *

  • Crystal got a record deal the day after the idol finals. she defenetly was better than lee just that stupid 12 year old girls and theyr mothers voted for lee just becacause hes good looking. even simon and kara said that crystal outperformed lee and she shoud have won...

  • She's phenomenal. She really should have won, but unfortunately, most of the music world goes for "commercial", not "talented".

  • I remember this week. She and Siobhan were the only good performers.

  • A true idol. You can feel her energy.

  • both lee and crystal are incredible performing artists, and they will both make it big in the music business. i hope they sing some more together.. their duet on top 4 night was beautiful. i never could pick a favorite between those two!

  • Stop blaming teenage girls! We're not ALL mindless robots. XD

    Mostofusare. But I'm not. :)

  • If you look back at all the past American Idols, all the winners are lost no one has heard of them since. The runner ups are the ones that go on to lead a successful career. So I'm sure that Crystal will land a recording contract and we will hear from her again. And for all the haters you don't know a talented singer if she was standing right in front of you. You listen to what the music industry pushes down your throat and you like it. Listen with your ears and not the music industry's.

  • it's not that i *hated* lee or anything but crystal was just soooo much better

  • Luv Crystal!! Lee was good but come on! Crystal totally deserves to win

  • Crystal had a voice much better than Lee! All the stupid teenagers that voted 4 him seriously need to grow up ! They were there to compete for singing not looks! She is pretty though

  • Apparently cuzifeeliket/origins/lonewolf/­lakersfan has tucked tail and run only to send in another of his alternite identities. A true schizophrenic. Lets see how long he can maintain this personality. We will see who has the last word.

  • Lee will be forgotten, and all the teenage girls who voted for him will forget him in a year, they will be moved on to another "Hot Guy" It's so stupid.

  • @Kara899 just cuz crystals amazing it doesnt mean lees bad...there both very talented

  • @Kara899 This video had about 5 dislikes last week. Now it has 16. Wait, did cuzifeel create more accounts? :)

  • well, well, the same COWARD hyena is back with a different username - but this time reveals her true self - using foul words and all those trashing at crystal and anyone whom she deems as threat to her loverboy. Before MILLIONS in the finals where crystal clobbered him 3 round - her boy was given the title - FOR FREE!, now this hyena is verging on desperation to go around from clip to clip disguising under different username to bash anyone who doesnt acknowledge her boy as king.

  • LOL, "Istwrd" is same slut person as "cuzifeeliket". HAHAHHA they are the same person, the slut is using one username to pretend to engage in nice language but bash others as whiners and losers, while the same slut is using another username to reveal her ugly and smelly self. Woah, what a slut!!!!

  • @lstwrd Actually you're a dumb ass who's the SAME FUCKING PERSON that likes to write useless crap about someone else. Get the fuck off here stupid Troll. Lee lost and you know he's GARBAGE. He won't even come close to selling as much as Kris Allen. Crystal is the best and you know it!

  • I like more what she did on the finale. This IS what you call genuine TALENT.

  • no one cares that lee won, crystal is amazing (:

  • Sounded great. i still cant see how that non singing dude won. You are awesome bowersox!

  • Crystal in my opinion is a natural when it comes to singing. Also can project her talent on stage. The thing is the other guy who got the title : he chooses great melody/beat songs that is easy on the ear and hide his lack of vocal abilities. Some ppl like it, so thats their opinion, but real music experts would say Crystal's the better singer. And indeed she's more than just better, she's in a class of her own in this season.

  • Crystal sings that better than Janis Joplin, this girl is awesome and I think will sell more records/albums than any Idol.

  • @kelamb141 Who wants another Janis Joplin in 2010? That's why she lost. She sounded dated and boring (when she wasn't screeching her way through songs). She could sing the hell out of a ballad though, I'll give her that. Lee is current, talented, made good choices and won the vote. He deserved to win and was my favorite from day one.

  • @Cuzifeeliket First off, I dont like janis joplin i have never listened to any of her songs before and I love crystal she's far from Janis. She doesn't have that screechy voice like Janis. Crystal has a soft and pure nice touch to her voice which is why i like her. She deserved to win because she was the most consistant and proved each week to why she should win. She had the most talent.

  • @Kara899 lol you said you've never listened to any of her songs before and then you say crystal is far from janis? do you lack any sort of intelligence whatsoever?

  • @TheNatural1992 First no I dont lack any intelligence. You are just being stupid. Second, I have looked up Janis to see if they are alike and They DEFIENTLY do not sound like each other.
