American Idol Contestant, Crystal Bowersox, Is From Ohio

had to be one of the worst final shows ever. best thing for Crystal not to win. The winner is bound by contract for about a year, the runner up, like the other finalist is not. That is why you usually see them out with something on their own first. They can do what they want while they still have name recognition, while the winner has to fulfill their idol contract.

I wish Crystal would have won but they are both winners in the end and will both have careers not available to other artists regardless of talent. What other avenue allows for millions of fans before the first single is produced?? Lee and Crystal were the best which is rare for AI standards and "America's vote". I like the show but it is getting old and worn out and without Simon will struggle IMHO.

Wish Crystal had won, she was the most talented. It was a letdown for the final show. How old is Joe Cocker? Always good to see William Hung!!

It will come down to Crystal and Lee. Lee sounds like he belongs on X 106.3 fm...He will have the best career out of them all by far...imo.
