Have you heard Crystal Bowersox?

My take is she is the best talent I have seen on American Idol..Very natural talent.....She is a shoe in to be a star..

I bet half the bar bands in the country are trying to contact her.

ok...i shamefully admit that i watch american idol. i agree, this chick can sing and i respect her integrity as an artist as well. i happen to think siobhan magnus is just as talented if not more. her version of paint it black was astounding. she is a victim of the shows way of corrupting an artists heartfelt calling and getting caught up in trying to appease all but damn she is talented.

Siobhan Magnus? Talented? You've got to be kidding. She's a one-trick pony. She can only scream out some high notes, which are meant to distract you from the fact she can't sing. She's mostly sings out of tune. Before she can be considered talented she's gonna' need lots of voice lessons.

Bowersox, on the other hand, is truly talented. She's head and shoulders above the other contestants. She's the kind of singer that appeals to lots of people, and I would buy an album she recorded. She absolutely reminds one of Joplin, Raitt and Crow.

Raks, No. Half the bar bands in America want to contact Lee DeWyze.
