Crystal Bowersox - You can't always get what you want studio version american idol 9 top 12

[missjessy26]

Her versions of Midnight Train to Georgia, Up to the Mountain, and People get ready are by far the best I've ever heard. Crystal is amazing!

[ziggieszoo]

should have won a.i.

Love this woman's voice and soul . WOW!

I wish you a long and prosperous career, Crystal!

[LitZena]

Crystal does this cover AWESOME with so much soul, so cool! I just love the way she sings this and she looks super cute on the pic above!~

[jerrydpugh]

11 rap fans!

[DshankumMusic]

@jerrydpugh I like rap, but I liked it. So shutup.

[Snowslush96]

soul. there's NONE of that in today's mainstream music. I'm really and truly hoping and praying that Crystal will change that.

[Giltzyelf]

her isnt fast enough

[ideagirlconsulting]

posting your videos .. did a blog tour for american idol studio music tonight for an hour :)

[BluebirdPB]

Fantastic. A voice and a performance that only comes once in a generation. How many of you remember how Janis Joplin mesmerized the audience at the Monterey Jazz Festival? Crystal can hold her own to Janis.

[foxrat123]

Ya all like Crystal? Put your money where your mouth is. Do the right thing. Buy her songs on itunes for $1.29. Simple as that. Please, no illegal downloads!

[willgeek]

Too bad they can't just declare it a tie this year, and set Lee and Crystal up as the GREATEST FOLK ROCK DUO in history. That would be a different twist for the now stale Idol....then again, let's hope this happens in the music biz anyway. Off we go!

[quinners1110]

her vocals are so crazy awesome. so impressive.

[easyrider1187]

All of Crystals original songs were very well done in recording. But, I think she has become an outstanding studio recording artist through her work with AI (as bad as I hate to admit it). Her studio recordings border on the lines of completely flawless perfection. I think this level of perfection has worn her down a little as to achieve this level has to be extremely difficult. She is amazingly good in the studio on all of these recordings.

[kmd1964]

@easyrider1187 - I agree hers are flawless perfection and all natural - her voice is crystal clear :) all her studio recordings sound incredible.

[herpiethelovebug]

I hope her first CD is covers. She does justice to the classics. Her second album, she can do originals. There, my professional opionion....lol

[freepatriot1776]

@herpiethelovebug why do someone elses songs that have already been done. most people dont want to buy whats already been done,people are begging for something different and fresh and full of soul.

[jadezxy]

AI has not had good talent like this in years!

[lilstacey09]

This was better than the live version because at the live version, she looked bothered and there's something going on her mind. But I love this studio version! It was great! I was jumping off my feet.

[MikkiLuvsMusic]

Oh my gosh...

she's got the voice of an angel!!!

She has to be the best person I've seen on American Idol!

[mariondawn1972]

I totally agree with GOZZ100! Casey and Crystal are ready for this. Both performers are musically gifted! I would love to see them both in the finals. Wow, what a night that would be!

[GONZZ100]

crystal and casey's studio cuts are the best.. lee is not even in the ballpark compared to these two. reason being the've been gigging professionally way before they got on idol. i know casey has been in the studio numerous times. these two will sell alot of albums. believe me record exec's are chomping at the bit's to record these two.

[KatiaDANCE4LIFE]

@GONZZ100 Actually, Lee already has two amazing albums out.......he's great......which would be the reason he's in the finals along with another great artist, MAMA SOX! lol

[easyrider1187]

@KatiaDANCE4LIFE I do not offer opinions like others without doing my homework. I have listened to Slumberland and almost all of the songs Lee has on his albums, including Simple Man. I like his Dave Matthews style on his own works much better than his attempts at being a heavy weight rocker like AI is pushing him toward (I think wrongly). I would not, as sales and plays indicated, call these albums "amazing," but they are good and better than AI Lee version.

[KatiaDANCE4LIFE]

@easyrider1187 Okay I do agree. Although I think Casey had talent but not enough to actually make it. I believe Lee has the potential to seriously become a star that is if he stays true to himself. In my opinion though, like Crystal, he sounds good whatever he's singing whether it be Hey Jude, or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star hahaha

[aprilemily]

Go get that Idol Crown Crystal you earned it

[montanokris]

this has a great sublime meets rolling stones sound to it imo

[rloke]

Crystal is the best. Unlike others who need to use powerful songs or great melody songs to cover up their vocal problems or out of tune habits.

[morsit]

allright now this is a good cover not like last video i saw some group named glee that sound so bad fuc!"#"!#$ group they riun this song please rate bad that video is an spit on the face. This cover is pretty good by the way

[gpolicarpioscusa]

its true that she has a great voice. but, if you want to talk about having the best vocals; no one on today's season is on par with Lee's.

[aprilemily]

it does not get better then this!!

[camille15lovesyou]

she is amazing. :D loveee her. :D

[aprilemily]

MOTHER F&^&(ING AWESOME

[michcarian]

She's a true original.

[idolfan2117]

@michcarian haha you got the original part right but you forgot to tell the truth she sounds just like the original song in almost every song! just saying

[XxSaraxDegrassiVidsx]

I love Crystal but I'm not sure if I'll like her style if she ever releases music. Will have to wait and see! But since this American Idol and we judge by singing, Crystal is one of the best!

[asjms79]

She's good, but she just doesn't do it for me. I find her boring. Of course she is a polished performer, because she is a singer by profession. I just don't see that star quality in her. Most real singers sing with soul, so that doesn't make her special. I am sure she will have a great career, but I wouldn't buy her music.

[rloke]

@asjms79

i guess u have stereotyped singer that u like to support. Thats fine with me. Just commenting.

[asjms79]

@rloke Nope, I don't have any favorites. I don't vote or care who ultimately wins. I don't even watch the show. I just watch clips on Youtube sometimes when I can't sleep. (Youtube is better than TV, because I don't have to listen to the judges!) She does have a good voice, so maybe I will feel her more after the show when she is doing her own thing. I hope so, because, win or lose, I am sure I will be hearing a lot of her on the radio in the future!

[herenowww]

I love this girl.

[lmariablg]

we have a winner.

[cfoley619]

Love this! First time I've listened to the Studio Version. I missed the "He wasn't lookin to good" part, but otherwise, it's excellent!

[smom25]

YOU ROCK!!!!!

[avonlady777]

The winner - period.

[rockedge89]

amazing...either she,lee or casey i would like to win this big show of america...

[serranobtw]

After listening to this a few times, I realize that is is better than the original. By a MILE!!!

[Ataxicabdriver]

One of my favorite songs by the Stones. I actually like Crystal's version more.

[hawtoo]

I like her style, i can listen to her every day. Every song, sounds LIKE A HIT. It get s you up and moving, its not boring, expressive , SOLID, she s just herself. Not trying to be anyone else. Country, rock, blues, jazzy, U be the voters .......

[tiger69357]

She is already a star!

[rockedge89]

@tiger69357

yes she is ,together with some guys there...

[babyinblack]

wow I just found these studio versions and wow they all sound amazing. but especially crystal! !!!!

[elizmsmith]

I really like Siobhan - she's very unique - but after a few songs, I just can't handle anymore of the singing through the nose rather than the mouth. I can listen to Crystal all day and she never gets boring or grates on my nerves.

[susanboylefanforever]

CRYSTAL, YOU ARE Fuuuuccckkkinnngggg AMAZING!!! Looovvvinnnggg YOU!!! YOU ARE A STAR!!! AMAZING as ALWAYS!!! Iam VOTING FOR YOU MAMASOX!! P.S. SEE YOU IN CONCERT!! VOTE! VOTE!! VOTE!!!

[JUUbellii]

Crystal is a good singer, but she's just boring. If your looking for a person who won't bore you. Siobhan Magnus is the girl man. Plus she attracts the younger viewers. More relatable.

[beedeeanna2]

Crystal has a far better and consistent vocal quality than S. Listen to C's Holy Toledo and Sunflower Sunshine. C's just as unique as S, (nasal and"pitchy at times) and is smart, funny, endearingly outspoken, charming, refreshing and sweet. Don't confuse S's screaming with singing. Her best was the line "I don't want to fall in love" in wicked Game." She's quirky but C's just as interesting, deserves to win. Not criticizing your judgment, I'm just sayin'

[bellerose915]

@JUUbellii

Out of curiosity how is Siobhan more relatable to younger viewers? I am 19 and feel like I can relate to Crystal much more...Siobhan seems cool but kinda distant. Furthermore, i you are talking about like young contestants like teenagers, I do not feel they are relating to Siobhan. The ones I talk to at my work at a middle school tend to favor Katie, or one of the boys.

[JUUbellii]

@bellerose915 Shes more relatable b/c when she sings, your just drawn to it b/c shes different. Maybe where you live/work at, kids are drawn to Katie/Tim, but different areas of young kids/where i live, like Siobhan. Not young young, like maybe in high school/a little older can enjoy her more. Hopefully this comment isn't coming across mean, i'm not actually. lol. But i'm not saying Crystal is bad, i know she's a good singer.

[JUUbellii]

@bellerose915 It's just with Siobhan she isn't afraid to be her weird, coo coo self ha and i think a lot ppl who are like her/act like her can relate to her. Some ppl think being weird is bad, when it isn't. So when i see her up there it's like "okay this girl is like me, she's for real and isn't afraid to show it."

[rloke]

@JUUbellii

I get what you mean. But u ought to know younger viewers will switch their 'allegiance' once another 'siohban' comes into the scene. There's thousands of them. Crystal is rare kind with soul in her singing, and her type will stay a long, long time.

[JUUbellii]

@rloke She has a goooood voice, but for me it's not a wow factor. If she wins the show if, than props to her. But if i had to choose between her/Siobhan on who would sell more albums. Siobhan maybe will sell more. Crystal can sing from the soul, but that doesn't mean Siobhan doesn't. Some of the contestants i can tell sing from the heart. She's not really rare, no one is completely. There's millions of talents we haven't discovered yet who may sound like her, be more rare/unique or even better.

[nadsan80]

@JUUbellii U R F*****G IDIOT. VOTE FOR CRYSTAL TO WINNNN.......

[acjclaker]

Crystal and Davey Knowles from Back Door Slam would fill a stadium. I can see it now Gillette in Foxborough

[thehayhay463]

She does have one of the best vocal i agree with that, i like Tim too, he has gotten better through out the weeks, I also like Andrew he has one of the best vocals too.

[bluedaddy23]

Crystal to win it all, she is wonderful, she IS the total package. Love her, love her music!

[JSHBSH]

crystal is the best this year....no competition

[coitus15]

she's great

[Deliciousfruit233]

Crystal is my favorite. Second is probably Lee, and Tim is the absolute worst singer on AI ever.

[jeg24]

@Deliciousfruit233 very true

[IvaCitizenJournalist]

Oh, and I do like her, but I have to say this...she IS very cocky. Simon pointed out something about her thinking she's got it in the bag, and she said "I've never thought that at all", but she really does. It's very obvious that she does think she's going to win, and she might win, but I just hate it when people are cocky.

[IvaCitizenJournalist]

Don't get me wrong, Crystal definitely is a good artist. She's talented, and is great at the guitar, BUT, she doesn't have awesome vocals. In actuality her vocals are often pitchy and off. She tries to do things with her vocals that she just can't pull off. Again, I'm not saying she CAN"T sing, because she CAN, but she's not anywhere near the "greatest" vocalist that's been on the show this season. Not by far. People just like her "package". And she's NOT better than the original in this song!

[thisvideoiscool]

@IvaCitizenJournalist Uhm well, an artist do not need to have the greatest vocal to succeed

[IvaCitizenJournalist]

@thisvideoiscool I'm aware of this. You're absolutely right. Just like I said, people like her total package. She knows exactly who she is as an artist. I just said she doesn't have the best vocals, because some people think that she does have the best vocals of the competition, and that just isn't true.

[rloke]

@IvaCitizenJournalist

she has the BEST vocals, coz she sings with soul. Idiot.

[TeaGeeLee]

@rloke What EVER happened to Lee DeWise (?)? Crystal is on her way to stardom any way folks!!

[MrVividRocker]

@rloke mmm with soul and the others are gingers !

[jonathan3691]

@IvaCitizenJournalist Okay, then be straight about it and tell us who you think has the best vocals in the competition.

[bluedaddy23]

@thisvideoiscool There is alot of truth in that statement look at Bob Dylan, he has to be the worst nasally singer ever to live and he wrote and sang some of the greatest songs.

[Fallenhero36]

dito @ gippygoo win or not , she's gonna be huge

[gippygoo]

Crystal is America's next big MEGASTAR

[Pjaynes781]

I guess if your 13 or 14 you might think shes the greatest, but sorry folks shes not. Please, if your over 20 and into her dont tell me. What I'm saying is this, she's not, "Original". Shes just a half-way decent singer trying to do her take on Joplin or Ethridge,

[MrHarryt53]

I just listened to both, the Bowersox version and the Chicken on Acid..... Bowersox did better than the Stones on their own song in my humble opinion.

[cass8479]

i can't get over how amazing crystal's voice is. she's got everything down to a t. i see her going to far places after this, win or lose. she's amazing, simply put.

[julianr999]

HEY! FOR everyone that didnt like siobhan listen to her studio version! its the best out of everyones studio!

[xGuss87]

I love Crystal Bowersox! I really hope she wins! :)

[DoomETmetal94]

First of all. This is nit country. It's like folk soul rock. Second. Crystal kicks the shit out of Andrew. He is no good. Third. Siobhan needs to leave. She did horrible Tuesday. But instead they kicked out didi. Ridiculous.

[Crystalsweet88]

I love Crystal and not just her name is the same as mine lol. She is so beautiful and real. Its either going to be her or Siobhan. In the end either one will make me happy cause the last 2 or 3 always make it somehow :)

[Pjaynes781]

Earthy Groove? Own Identity? I dont think so, shes just doin a cheap knock off of that one chick, whats her name, Joss Stone. Joss Stone was just ripping off all the other soul singers out there. This girl can carry a tune but she has no originality at all. Its a shame that the music industry has sunk so low. Honestly, does this girl have any thing you haven't seen a million times before? Again, she can carry a tune, but think hard now....I think she listened to Joss Stone a little to much.

[MrHarryt53]

@Pjaynes781

Say what?! Never heard of the Stone chick so I did a search and listened..... no comparison dude, none. Crystal does here thing... and yes you can compare her a bit to Joplin but I also see some Susan Tedeschi in the vocals.... I for one cannot wait for her to record so I can buy the CD to go with my Joplin and Tedeschi... Nicks......

This girl is the best I have seen come along in years...

[naptowner99]

Crsystal will go down as the best Idol ever,may not sell all the records,but on talent far and away the best ever......She has IT

[scarredbanner]

Crystal rocks. nuff said.

[lodoma]

groovin

[mitch990001]

I think this could top the country charts right now, as is. And I don't even listen to country music....but love this!!!

[terrillwhite78]

Definitely my favorite!

[xxbuboyxx]

shes good seriously. but I think andrew has the best recording voice. Listen to gimme shelter recording, hes hella good, and he sucked on the show. Crystal has it all though Ill still see her shows

[buffymekaren]

no,she is joplin,jewels and crow rolled into one soul baby,she the picture of normal girl next door strugeling in this world thats rulled by money money , but shes making it good for her talent!

[chonkae]

@drdawn86 haha!...although i love crystal im kinda hoping that she doesn't get the title of AI...i hope she gets 2nd place though...i think it would be much cooler...

[MamaMia4545]

Siobhan sings out of her throat.  She is not only weird but weird looking and can halfway sing.

[dezcoal]

Hmmmm so much like Ani DiFranco...

[PsychLion]

Crystal is more down to earth and groovy. I like Siobhan, too, but she doesn't have the natural vibe like Crystal does. People are sick of over the top vocals and showy vocals, they want something more organic. And that is Crystal!

[Detomidine]

This is the type of music and singer I like to listen to for hours on end. Not in-your-face-dramatic watch-me-perform -type but beautiful, natural voice (gritty, too, when needed) that tells me a story. I've got a permanent earworm of Farmer's daughter, and I'm not complaining at all!

[johnlvs2run]

I love Crystal's singing.

The bass on this really kills it though, ditch the bass.

[danone97]

Siobhan indeed has a big family to support her everywhere.

[julianr999]

Guys, compare this recording to siobhans paint it black (her version is better than original).. and you will see al of crystals song are THE SAME FREKIN THING..im tired of hearing kris allen and the gray haired dude who won AI before, they are good singers but always fail at becoming an artist, whereas siobhan already is an artist and her recording sounds way better than this boring song

[chonkae]

@julianr999 y do u keep bashing crystal?its not like she already won or anything...anyway, this isn't a boring song...it's of the rolling stones for crying out loud!

[julianr999]

GUYS, lets get real...

the fact is, we do know what type of recording artist siobhan is, and in fact, siobhan would be mroe sucesful than crystal out of idol just because she is really weird and unique people have better succes out of idol (adam lambert)..no matter what songs AI gives sioban, she will siobanaize them, PLUS SHES HOT AND I WANT HER !!!

[IdolGirliexoxo]

i do love Crystal, but i love Siobhan better :)

[riejin]

WHatever Happens: SIOBHAN will still be the next American Idol this SEASON!! Love Crystal Bowersox too..so I really do think SIOBHAN vs Crystal this year!!...

....ALEX, SIOBHAN and Crystal are my favorites this season!!

[allistahc00p]

siobhan will win this thing, everyone just shut up.

[IdolGirliexoxo]

@allistahc00p

lol, totally agreed.

[mzlapqwx]

I think she's the most artistic, talented, and natural in the competition! I have a feeling she's gonna get Daughtry'd, she'll probably bow out at Top 4. Then hopefully get the same post idol success as Daughtry.

[jonnard27]

i dont like her.. sioban is much better...

[gageboy14]

anyone who can see a gifted artist before their eyes knows this girl is going to be huge. anyone else who worries about tatoo's, smoking or teeth should pull their head out of their a#$

[misterinegreen77]

she reminds me of Jewel, love love love her

[janemansfield73]

She is excellent. Love it. Cannot wait for her to sing Piece of my Heart. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

[roccolou]

Final 2 contestants: Crystal Bowersox and Lee Dewyze!!!!Doesn't matter who wins they are both going to be successful!!!

[onlyteck25]

i love my didi benami n i love her too

[hitman947]

Crystal sounds much better in studio than Siobhan. I really don't see how Siobhan will sell more albums than Crystal since Crystal has a more genuine voice. Crystal is also more appealing because she can sing a song with consistency without any drastic fluctuations in tone. I could see the audience went more crazy over Crystal too.

[chonkae]

yeah...there's no way siobhan will sell more records than crystal outside of idol...crystal already has an identity as an artist, while siobhan doesn't...siobhan is good with the whole american idol thing but as a recording artist, we'll yet to see...

[betcrml]

Yep! that is what they said about Adam too and wow so wrong. Just like Adam and Kris totally different singers both very good but.. Siobhan has the it factor, as for Crystal, if she breaks out of her shell could be really close.

[chonkae]

@betcrml yeah, i don't think she'll win too, coz crystal already had a particular style for such a long tym & it's going 2 b hard if they ask her to change things a bit...but she's really good w/ her original stuff, if u check it out...she already made some ppol cry w/ her songs...she'll be fine no matter what, she may not b able to conquer the mainstream world but i have a feeling she'll be a great artist...as 4 siobhan, i really have no idea...

[dinosauricon]

I agree she's excellent but winning idol wouldn't allow her to be CRYSTAL and i'm afraid she'll lose what we love about her if she wins

[aidan3306]

she reminds me of Shakira

[wenzjayy]

@aidan3306

shakira and alanis morisette

and also meredith brooks

[NationalMan]

For some reason she reminds me of Jennifer Nettles (Sugar Land). Which is actually a good thing. Love her voice...

[kellyqueenofpop]

crystal is my fav! rock on girl! so comfortable and kool up on stage! fan for life fer sure! :)

[uncertainly]

she's amazingly talented.

But somehow i don't want her

to win american idol :)

[chonkae]

haha...me too...

[kahnt]

very genuine voice. unfortunately musicians like her doesn't fit idol.

[RandomShowEps]

she good and all, but she has a lot a problems! she smokes... which could shorten her career, she gets tattoos, and more psychiatric problems!

[santanaejay]

i really don't like her. she always do the same thing. Play the Guitar and her voice is not exceptional. Her performance is always boring and the same.

[ColourMeOnce]

WOWWOWOWOWWOW

[RandomnessRocks92]

Amazin!

[009ralph]

wow

[tellmeisitoveryet]

She is talented & I want to get on board.. but I just can't get excited for some reason. She sounds good.

[nowono]

Thanks so much for sharing , could you please send us a link for download!thanks again

[Cuseforever]

I love this girl! However, I wouldn't mind if she only finished 3rd or 4th. That way, she'd have more freedom to branch out and do do her own thing without needing to be under the Idol protective umbrella.

[wwemaniac65]

@Cuseforever I agree with you 200%!!

[zomj]

thanks for adding this :)
