re: Crystal Bowersox. I really don't see how she lost last year. I thought the guy who one was bland and not cute enough to get the teenage girl vote.

She is someone I would definitely go listen to, especially in a small venue like those in Northampton MA or the smaller stages at some of the casinos. Not only does she have a great voice, she seems to have lived enough life to have those personal experiences which make her interesting.

Crystal's recent performance on Idol made it so clear how ridiculous her loss to Lee was last year.

I love her individuality and unique sound. And like you say, she's obviously lived her lyrics.
