I’m OK with disagreeing.
The difference was that Bowersox was only the most appealing with one’s eyes open. When you listen to her with your eyes closed, she could be anyone. She isn’t even as original sounding as Siobhan. When you see this hippie-looking little gal, and hear that she really can rock it, it’s kind of a first impression thing.
Whereas Lee sounds great aurally. He has a great quality to his voice. You want to keep hearing it, because it’s NOT like everyone else. So what if he misses a couple notes — they can clean that up in the studio.
Crystal doesn’t care whether you like her. Screw you if you don’t. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s not endearing. What she tries to put forth as confidence is actually a kind of F U bravado of the counter culture.
Lee nearly passed out, peed, and vomited in delighted shock that we all liked him and voted for him. That’s endearing!!
Actually, listening to Crystal with eyes closed is very comforting.
Her unique voice will sell well.
I find her excellent performances very endearing and the ‘studio’ versions posted online are especially good.
That's it! That is what is rubbing me the wrong way about her.
It is what bothered me about Adam last season as well. (well...of course his shouting didn't help)
You hit the nail on the head with your comments.
Last season Chris slowly worked his way into my heart. It seems Lee did the same this season.
Nice voices.
I just rewatched the ending and Crystal was actually very supportive of Lee, and sort of holding him up.....and she was teary eyed I think because he was so genuinely blown away...and he remembered her and said “I love you Crystal” and hugged her....so she gained points in my book
