Crystal Bowersox

If you are like many Americans you really couldn't care less about American Idol.  In the first few seasons my ex husband and I watched it religiously.  After the "Silver Fox" season, we sort of lost interest.  Now as I have said before I am a classic rock fan.  There aren't any new artists that I particularly care for, at least there wasn't.  Enter Crystal Bowersox a 24 year old single mother from BFE Ohio.  She is Janis reborn, she has all the ability and talent to show the world what a real female singer/songwriter should be.  Week after week Crystal puts forth amazing performances from the crumbs of the potential given to her by a retarded group of producers who think its funny to have judges tell the performers they need to be more modern and relevant yet give them theme weeks like Sinatra and At The Movies.  I have been stalking Crystal on YouTube and have yet to see a performance that wasn't fantastic.  When I heard she chose, "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins from Caddyshack this week, I just had to see it myself.  Once again Crystal is amazing!!!  So right here, right now I am going to start a campaign to get Crystal voted off American Idol.

Yes that's right, I said voted off the show.  This girl is too original and has too much talent to be destroyed by the clone making Idol machine.  I mean look at what they did to Kelly Clarkson.  Horrible movies, over produced pop bullshit music and a ridiculous contrived "romance" with Krusty Jr.  Where I live you see lots of young girls walking around with dreads and they make me sick.  They are so desperate to be called a hippie and an individual yet they all look the same.  Crystal is different, her look is organic and genuine.  I mean how many hippie chicks do you think there are in BFE Ohio?  People can say what they want about her teeth, her weight, her hair etc.  None if means anything, even if it has proven something.  It has proven that this generation of kids have grown up choosing style over talent.

If you look at some of my female musical heroes, none of them are winning any beauty pageants yet each one of them contained more talent in their little pinkies than all the Britneys, K$SHA (Sp? Who cares), Rhiannas of the last 15 years combined.  Janis, Cass, Carly, Chrissy (ok she wasn't terrible looking), and even the grand diva herself Aretha weren't going to make the Maxim Hot 100 but their talent was so raw and pure who really cares?

So if you are looking for something new and old at the same time, check out Crystal's performance below.  You listen to what that little girl did and you tell me that she doesnt deserve better than American Idol!

Go Crystal I hope you are voted out real soon so you can begin a genuine career playing the music you belong playing!
