Crystal Bowersox
She won't be playing the Joplin guitar this week. She'll play piano.
Usher: You got a real shot, kid. For real.
Her song is "Midnight Train To Georgia".
One word: WOW.
When she kicks it into gear, there are goosebumps. Awesome, awesome, awesome. She finishes the song away from the piano, singing with a microphone.
Randy: Love the outfit, love the stilettos. I'm working with Gladys Knight right now and she would say you did that song proud.
Ellen: You really are competing now. You are in it to win it. Wonderful tonight.
Kara: So glad you took that risk. Can't wait to see what you do next week.
Simon: (loves the performance--his only criticism is that this particular choice may not be true to her) Regardless of what we say, do not let this process take your identity. What you were doing before was absolutely fantastic. You are the kind of artist--rare--who knows exactly what you should be. Don't change.
