She is on a roll! Crystal Bowersox rocked the house once again on American Idol. Tonight was Billboard No. 1 Hits night and Crystal is definitely a No. 1 Hit. Performing her rendition of Janis Joplin’s “Me and Bobby McGee” Crystal proved she is a star and Randy Jackson couldn’t agree more. “That’s what is called being a star! And a dope singer! Right there!” enthuses Randy. “I’m so happy now!”
Simon Cowell wouldn’t change anything, which is major praise coming from him. Up until now, this was a karaoke competition. Simon’s heard Pink sing this song and thought her version was the best one, but Crystal’s was just as good. He’s seen Crystal progress over the past few weeks. She’s doing her own thing and not being gimmicky. She took a song and nailed it.
Miley Cyrus was the mentor this week and she immediately praised Crystal Bowersox’s “different” take on Janis Joplin’s “Me and Bobby McGee.” She did encourage Crystal to take a few more risks at the end of the song. “There were some times when she hit those high notes that it sounded gospel,” Cyrus said.
Crystal is a natural. The music pours from her soul as she grabs the audience into her performances. She feels what she sings and makes each song her own. Crystal is definitely the one to watch.
Make sure to continue watching Crystal Bowersox. She says that she has big plans for next week. I can’t wait to find out and I am sure we all will be blown away.
