Crystal Bowersox - Idol gives birth to a true artist?

Ok, so American Idol is not the place to go to hear sincere artistry. Somehow front runner Crystal Bowersox is sort of paving the way for this show and others to produce artists of actual talent which is deeper than flashy singing technique.

Any other comments about this singer?

From what little I've seen, heard, and read of her, she is a rarity. An artist at heart with raw talent through and through. I just hope when the music industry chews and spits her out, she stays true to herself and art.

Nothing against singers with great or phenomenal voices, but to me an artist does it all (write, play, and sing). I seem to have more respect for artist over performers/entertainers.

She's talented, and I hope she has staying power within the industry. Failing which she will be confined to the dust heaps of past Idol winners with quite nothing to show for. If she charts her own course she will probably do just fine. This being more of a "pop" competition I guess there will be more pressure to "conform" to what a producer thinks will "sell". Call me a cynic but perhaps she is in the wrong competition to begin with?

She needs to lose, and soon. Otherwise the AI bosses get her contract and make her sing Mariah Carey songs.

I second this, I'd hate to see her join the mainstream dreck.
