Hello,
The #9 "American Idol" of all-time is Crystal Bowersox. Or as Randy Jackson nicknamed her Mama Sox, possibly his only worthy contribution to "American Idol" ever. Looking back on Season 9 with hindsight, it wasn't a good year. Lee DeWyze won, easily one of the least interesting winners ever. Does it surprise you that he didn't do too well? I actually quite liked his singing voice, but he clearly didn't have the x factor (as another lame reality show calls it.) Michael Lynche finished fourth, enough said. I liked Casey James as well, but I didn't care about how he finished. Other boring contestants from that season include: Tim Urban (wow he was really bad), Aaron Kelly, Katie Stevens.
Andrew Garcia wasn't real interesting either, but he did have a couple of highlights. I liked his take on "Straight Up" and his version of "Sugar, We're Going Down". I even bought "Sugar" and enjoy it every time it plays on iTunes.
"Suga, Were Going Down"
I also liked Siobhan Magnus's "Think" from that season:
In addition I like Paige Miles "Honky Tonk Woman":
Before we get to Miss Bowersox, Season 9 was also the season of this:
Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox's auditions:
Some of Crystal's "American Idol" highlights:
"Come To My Window":
"Maybe I'm Amazed":
"Midnight Train To Georgia":
"Me and Bobby McGee". One of my all-time lyrics: "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose".
Other songs she has sung. It sounds like she was born to sing "For What It's Worth":
The slightly bizarre "Farmer's Daughter". This song is from her debut CD "Farmer's Daughter".
"Ridin' With The Radio":
Not my favorite song, but I love her voice on "Finally Got It Right":
"Just Want To Love You Before I Leave":
