  • Dear Crystal,

    You belong.

  • I'm so lucky to have a cousin like Crystal. And yea, I'm her her cousin. I was at her wedding, and I love her music <3 I'm so lucky..

  • I wish she would do an Etta James tribute album. I would love her "take"

  • This woman has more talent in her pinky than most other female singers who are considered super stars have in their whole bodies.

  • Comment removed

  • MORE, I simply need MORE!!!  :) #angelvoice

  • Now see Taylor Swift this is what good singing is.

  • This acoustic song is much bettr

    watch?v=xXRh5ne7xws

  • I knew you would make MamaSox, been luvin your music since Idol. Never lose that down to earth attitude and keep lovin that man o yours.

  • she is amazing

  • beautiful !!

  • ...great song, good-lookin new husband...Crystal, I knew you'd be GREAT!!!

  • I've love her from day one on Idol. A natural talent.Genuine & earthy.

  • So awesome. I'm a huge Mama Sox fan from "Idol." She is quite the talented songwriter and singer. :)

  • She is very talented. My question to some of you.....have you seen some of Lady Gaga's quieter performances. She is also very talented.

  • @lesliejo1962 I've seen some of Lady Gaga's more natural moments ( including a performance when she was still Stefanie) and though she doesn't lack talent she lacks musical personality imo. In Lady gaga's case, developing a big show personality was a wise move on her part but to people who are into music rather than show, this girl outshines LG easily. Unlike LG's this is not a voice immediately forgotten.

  • @reddragonready Who cares Gaga will always have more fans than Crystal. I love Crystal but they are two very different genres of music so how can you even compare them.

  • @Mileneum69 You need to reread my comment slowly as well as the comment it was a reply to.

  • We were at The Opry when on this night and had never heard of her before. We loved her voice, her song and hearing just the guitar. New fans here!

  • She's the bomb. Lee who? 

  • When it comes to talent, IMO, she *SHOULD* have won her season!

  • Crystal come play a gig in NJ ( by princeton). We love you here too.

  • Crystal Bowersox is all about soul

  • the way the skin withers. all my love,

  • My favorite Idol of all time

  • @archieducker Absolutely!!

  • Beautiful! Amazing!

    

  • She's amazing!!! :)

  • luckiest guy in the world

  • I am from Poland and I didn't know about her until now. I'm hypnotized, I love her and the way how she singing! So so so great singer!

  • She still gives me goose bumps

  • Probably the best talent we have gotten out of AI in the last 4-5 years. Way over the kid that won this past season. Glad that she is doing her own thing and making the music the way she wants. Will always be a fan of Crystal.

  • She is gonna be at our County Fair this week! I can't wait! :)

  • So awesome...incredibly proud of Northwest Ohio's hometown girl!

  • There's something so very special about authenticity!

  • what can you say to this performance but WOW. Seriously how down to earth is she. I love it when she say "I can't believe where I am" Such a great talent.

  • We still like her because she isn't fake. And she is a star. How big of a star... is up to her. Beautiful voice and talent...

  • CRYSTAL IS AMAZING..MORE THAN WORDS ,IT'S NOT ONLY SHE GOT SKILL BUT ALSO HER SOUL...LOVE U CYRSTAL ALWAYS..

  • This girl won my vote on AI.

    

  • She's never going to be a superstar, because she probably can't be that fake.

    But, everytime she sings everyone in ear shot is going to stop what they are doing.

  • @Waltham1892 I dont think she's comfortable being a superstar. I think she appreciates being recognized for her talent and thats that. She had a tough life and to know she doesn't have to live in the subway anymore is enough for her. Shes very humble.

  • @Danklin24

    I will take your word for that.

    She is 100% who she is and I can live with that.

  • One of my favorites....

  • beautiful, beautiful song!!!!

  • stunning! loved her performance.

  • B-E-A-UTIFUL...

  • always talent will proveil. who won......nobody cares.... bowersox should of won..............the votes mean nothin,record sales do!

  • I never downed Crystal, she is worth millions in memory and dreams, and she makes me think outside a box of magic...greatness!!

  • Damn what happened to Vince Gill? Hes as fat as a walrus!!

  • Pure talent. The best female vocalist since Carrie Underwood.

  • @SymphonyBrahms , but Crystal has talent.

  • I like her!

    But what is going on with her hair in back? It looks ratty in the back somehow. Is it just the lighting?

  • @RonQE Her hair is not ratty, she has dreadlocks in her hair, she has had them for several years give her a break, is that the only thing you can think of to say, did you even listen to the song.

  • @sgaumer1 The first thing I wrote was "I like her"! Duh!

    But dreadlocks? Why would anyone with non-nappy hair ever use dreadlocks? I thought dreadlocks were usually a style for black people who had bad hair and had few options what to do with it.

    This isn't the "braided" kind of dreads but the "nappy" kind of dreads.

  • @RonQE Well, b/c it's her hair and she can do whatever she likes with it. She likes her hair that way, and apparently so does her husband. That's really all that matters.

  • @heysatan8 No kidding. It's her right to wear it.

    It's also not surprising some of us would find it strange.

  • @RonQE Seems like you are the only one here that has a problem with her hair, what's up with that.

  • @sgaumer1 Or I'm the only one to mention it.

    What is your problem with the fact I don't care for it, anyway?

  • @RonQE what's wrong with you people she's rastafarian deal with it!

  • Crystal, you are amazing. I have watched and followed you since American Idol. I just never tire of your beautiful, pure voice and your outstanding talent. And on another note...honey, it's wonderful seeing you so happy with your new husband.

  • This is actual pure talent...she is so natural it is surreal!

    You go Crystal!

    Simply Excellent!

  • OK I'm back, couldn't get this song out of my head and had to come back for another fix.

  • every song she does just blows me away. It makes me happy to see her beautiful smile. I wish her the best in life.

  • Love Chrystal I read she and her husband are moving to Nashville in October,That is where she needs to be and she will be a super star soon.

  • Now that is the definition of talent. She was caught of guard, Came on stage and sang an absoulutely awesome song. GO Crystal Bowersox

  • Now that is the definition of talent. She had no Idea ishe was going to be asked to sing and she just went out there and did it

  • 2 ppl Don't know the definition of a talented female Artist. Not someone like Kesha. Not Lady GaGa. Someone who can sing well and get the fans screaming her name without showing off her body

  • this girl is just outstanding a true artist with out all the bull shit huge fan you rock !!!!

  • Simply the best...what a beautiful song ....

  • sooooo LoVe her <3

  • Love this one

  • 2 People do not know what real music sounds like, Crystal is so talented. Future super star in the making.

  • Patti Griffith,Emmylou and all the rest great female singers would be proud

  • 2 people are tone deaf!

  • pure true talent mixed with small town Ohio class ,,, if that ain't country you can kiss my @#$%

  • now thats sexy!!!!

  • see kids, you don't need to flop around the stage like Lady Gaga if you have Talent like this .

  • @nighthawk584 how true. the other night on american idol, that was disgusting! lady gaga up there jumping on the piano stool, no clothes, all that crap, lol. she said "at their age" she would have gotten laughed off american idol. if simon were there, and she walked in looking like that, she wouldnt have even gotten an audition. dont mind her voice too much, i actually like her sound, as long as i dont have to look at her. :)

  • @nighthawk584 If you want to make money you do. I prefer Crystal to GaGa but Gaga does have talent

  • @toriboy25 Just because you don't personally like something or someone does not make it "talentless." I do not listen to Lady GaGa AT ALL, but I still cannot deny her obvious talent. She sings damn good and never lip-syncs. And just b/c I don't like her style of music or her lyrics does not mean I can't respect her for certain things.

  • @nighthawk584 And kids, it's nothing wrong with dancing!

  • @nighthawk584 She sits at a piano half the time. She flops around the stage now and again, but she also sings dance music. I've seen her live, she's fantastic. No need to put down one artist in order to praise another.

  • WOW, great song...Crystal is amazing!

  • What a warm and wonderful gesture.

  • Real musician there! Every note she sings is so her. I love the fact that she doesn't compromise who she really is to silly fame and dime. Look at lot of Idol winners, they are nowhere now as a result.

  • Going to Nashville in June for the CMA Music Festival...Going to see Crystal live at the riverfront stage...Cannot wait!!!

  • @krierjj I saw her live on the idol tour last summer, she was great but she couldn't sing any of her own songs. I would love to see her live now, I love all of her songs she is one hell of a awesome song writer, real music that i can play all day long.

  • Going to Nashville for the first time ever in my 54 years... Going to see Crystal LIVE!! Can't wait!!!

  • Crystal doesn't try to be any more than herself and that is what makes her so special. What a great talent.

  • Everything she does blows me away and leaves me wanting more. She's gonna be big.

  • Chrystal is by far the best singer in America today and she is beautiful to look at-so why is she not getting the attention she deserves

  • @98mimi I think it has something to do with the dogshit that we've been forced fed for decades? Young ladies dancing around in their underware, screaming at the top of their lungs, instruments blaring. Good music, song and lyrics, beautiful voice, and very few are interested.

  • Hey, she fixed her teeth!

  • i love her i cant believe i mat and got to talk with for for an hour

  • she is so BEAUTIFUL with her voice, her guitar, her song, her character

  • Crystal.... just Beautiful!!! Both your personality, and your incredible talent!!!

    You always bring a smile to my face when I watch you perform! Your genuine warmth and sincerity has captured the heart & soul of so many!!!

    Aways stay true to yourself! You deserve all good things still to come your way!

  • Awesome Crystal .

  • Wish I could have been there. I am such a supporter of this pure soul. Come to Charlotte,n.c. or somewhere in the carolinas. You are the best! No frills and bells and whistles, just your voice and your guitar... that is enough!

  • wedding song

  • We actually had the privilege of being at the Grand Ole Opry the night Crystal performed and let me tell you she was sooo talented, sang beautifully and was cute as she could be. The acoustics at the Opry really showed her talent. I hope and know she will go on to be a huge success!!

  • Well deserved, Crystal...and what a beautiful song...prayers for u and yours a wonderful happy, peaceful, fulfilling life!

  • Idol can turn in to a popularity contest and lose track of talent. Crystal Bowersox is a talent for those seeking talent. Idol was a way for the people to get to see who Crystal is, and hear her music. A lot of people that will buy Crystals' music would NOT vote on Idol.This gal is the "Mc Coy." Look for her to be around for a long time as a singer, writer, and anything else it takes to get her musical message across.

  • What I liked about Crystal on AI was the way she carried herself, not being intimidated by where she was and the talking heads who were there to judge her.

    I am just so happy for her, like someone said, she brings tears to my eyes everytime I here her sing and it has been that way since the first time I heard her by accident on AI. She deserves the accolades and praise, she is truly an American treasure....

  • Crystal's music makes me cry everytime I hear her sing....such a beautiful, genuine, and talented young woman!

  • just missed her at the bluebird when we were in nashville..ran into some folks that did see her perform and they said she was over the top incredible and talented gal...she'll end up on top -count on it

  • Great voice. I became a fan from her AI audtion. I know she will have as much success as she wants.

  • i just saw you take the stage and i have goosebumps...you are the truth crystal....wonderful x...hardly any makeup ..dressed casual and you outshine all the divas of today crystal..you are true to you and that is so very rare in artists today...x

  • i just saw you take the stage and i have goosebumps...you are the truth crystal....wonderful x

  • Love me some Crystal.. and yes.. she deserved to win.. but she is content with what she got and does it really matter.. she is a star.. was a star the whole time on idol.. she was my favorite .. I am glad she is doing so well.. YOU GO GIRL!! Do your thing mama socks!!

  • Thank you, Grand Ole Opry, for posting  Crystal's performance. Her sweet love song and artistry is so appropriate for your great stage. Thank you.

  • She should have won!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  • wow

  • Is it normal that I cannot possibily stop smiling while listening to this? I've never watched AI before, not even living in the States, but I stumbled upon one of Crystal's performances on YouTube and now I cannot top listening to her. Which is saying something, since I really, really don't listen to contemporary music at all. She is simply breathtaking.

  • @kehribar87 I would say, by reading your comment, you're Crystalized! When Bowersox' music gets into your head it won't come out!

  • u go girl....u rockkkk

  • I LLLOOOVVVEEE Crystal!!!! You go GIRLFRIEND!!! You Rock the Grand Ol Opry Stage!!! Next best thing they did to inducting Josh Turner into the Grand Ol Opry with his Long Black Train song!!! They got you singing your AMAZING LOVE SONG Mine All Mine song!!! I LOOVE it!!!! I got good goosebumps again!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

  • needs to tour with somebody

  • Always fantastic, never disappoints.

  • Always fantastic, never disappoints.

  • Wow..

    Thats your winning Idol right there.

    Once again..

    America got it wrong.

  • OMG! I was just watching MSNBC here in Las Vegas and guess who pops up in the commerical? CRYSTAL AND BB KING! I knew about it but it was so much more amazing to actually see the commericial come up on the show I was watching. This is a beautiful performance and I adore Crystal..she has such beautiful energy and love to give us all and she is a brilliant artist. The women on Idol this year are so NOT HER! There will never be another Crystal Bowersox and I know she will be so famous soon!

  • Brought tears to my eyes to see Crystal on the stage of The Grand Ole' Opry...amazing! Doubley wonderful, my favorite song too.

  • Wow, this is awesome. Ide hoped so much she woudl continue singing and pursuing her dream and to be on Grand ole opry is HUGE!

  • I have watched the Opry debut of such greats as Loretta Lynn, etc. and Crystal is right in line :) THANK YOU for posting this!!!

  • rising star

  • Oh my God!  What a moment! I'd read about this, but hadn't seen the video until today....Amazing! Thank you so much for posting this! :)

  • Your the best Crystal, you sound great, love this song one of my favorites on her new cd called Farmers Daughter.

  • That was amazing!

    

  • I was there and saw it live. The line up that night was amazing as it was but for her to play made the night more special. She was truly humble and she stopped at one point and was so excited about singing in the Ryman Circle. There was not a dry eye in the place. She ran off stage and jumped up and just hugged her husband. I love that there is a video of this. I have been to the Opry many times but this night was electric.

  • What a doll Crystal is and with the voice of an angel; absolutely stunning and BEST NEW ARTIST GRAMMY 2012

  • Is it to much to ask for more performers to sound this good LIVE and not just in the studio?

  • @MrHarvey36 apparently in today's term,that is a mammoth task for singers.What a joke

  • @kamikazeVX

    Can't we all be happy for someone..Seems to me you need a lesson in love and happiness.

  • I was at the Opry for the first time ever and got to see it. A nice surprise indeed!

  • Fabulous performance -- and there's something so strong, warm & gracious about her.  She greets everyone with that earth mother manner. She's been through a lot, but steel is tempered by the fire.

  • got a standing o

  • She is a rare gem. Love this girl!

  • this is my favorite song of hers. beautifully written and sung. keep kicking ass crystal.

  • awesome post

  • Word: AWESOME

    I bought her CD "Farmers Daughter"...Highly recommend it! She sings allot of her own songs...and they are outstanding.

    Mine all Mine ...IS my personal favorite!

    Take the voice of An Angel...a simple guitar...and you have Musical Heaven.

    Love you Crystal!!

  • Not a big fan of Ms. Bowersox till I watched this I am a huge fan of Mr. Gills because he also sings from the heart. WOW she is something special my wife told me about her but someone else was correct she knocked it out of the park that night. Vince and Crustal would be a perfect duet. She is something special!!!!

  • IMO you just won the country fanbase if you didn't have it already. Hopefully the powers at Jive will let you do more acoustical tracks in the future.

    Way to go & Good Luck from T Town !

  • @Wildpony98 No Sh_t!! If a country fan can't enjoy this performance, I don't know who could..

  • Crystal & her guitar, I'm sorry anything more is less.

  • Crystal, Thank you so much. You were great! You are so honest and real! Please don't let the industry change you. Stay as you are, and your fans, like me, will stick with you to the end!

  • Yes, Vince Gill is a real southern gentleman and Crystal is the real deal.

  • LET'S NOT FORGET THE KINDNESS OF VINCE GILL, WHAT A GREAT CARING PERSON AS ONLY DONE BY VINCE GILL. VINCE YOU ARE THE MAN..!! I HOPE BOWERSOX REMEMBERS HOW CARING VINCE GILL WAS TO HER.

  • Crystal is such a sweet soul and she has the voice of an angel. SHE MUST WIN BEST NEW ARTIST GRAMMY 2012 ..

  • Thanks, Vince Gill, for encouraging and supporting "real talent". You are wonderful!!

    Crystal is the best artist to come along in years. Pure raw talent. Great melody and beautiful meaningful lyrics.

  • While I do not live in Nashville any more! This is the raw music I miss from the area. Love it! Best of luck to Crystal and good job.

  • Thank you Vince Gill!  You are amazing!

  • WOW thanks Opry for this, Crystal is so awesome! Hope you have her back soon as we know Nashville can appreciate such fresh raw talent as Crystal. She needs no gimmicks just a guitar and her beautiful voice.

  • I was there! She was awesome:)

  • If you check our my profile, I have two videos of her doing this LIVE at the Opry!! It was SOOO awesome getting to see her:) She was really amazing. And got a standing ovation! haha:)

  • Crystal is one awesome and amazing singer!

  • Awesome!!!!

    Humble '

    America has a new Sweet Heart

  • Toledo and Maumee, Ohio are so proud of Crystal!! Well done : )

  • WONDERFUL song, as are all her creations.

    Love it

  • I just contacted the Grand Ole Opry via their website link and told them how awesome they were to let Crystal perform and hope they book her to come back soon. Way to go Grand Ole Opry...!!!

  • Great...as usual!!

  • Great!!

  • At 5:13, Vince Gill has a second thought, "Oh you know what?" "I'll tell you!" But he didn't finish what he was about to say. Vince must had thought, "What just happened here?" Vince probably didn't know it then but at that time, he had been, "Crystalizedl!"

  • Thank you so much for posting this! She's such an awesome lady. It clearly meant a lot to her to be performing on that stage.

  • Wow!! Called out of the audience, no warmup, no soundcheck, borrows Vince Gill's guitar and knocks it out of the park. Hello Nashville!!

  • I am now a fan. *favorites*
