Simon Says Crystal American Idol Early Favorite

It is reiterated by Simon Cowell that he believes that Crystal Bowersox is a front runner for the title of American Idol’s season nine. He said on an interview when he appeared in the Tonight Show last Monday night with Jay Leno, that he likes this girl named Crystal.

He said that he admit in the first time he saw her that he gave a description that she is buster and he likes the way she handled her self and she admitted that’s what she really was. She’s has boosted her confidence now. She got sick but she quickly got over it. She has a great voice and is different from the rest.

The 24-year-old who comes from Elliston, OH and is now currently residing in Toledo was almost forced out of the contest last week because of a medical issue. That happened on the day of the show and prompted the organizers to switch days with the boys. On the following day, same thing happened. They had to wait for the go signal of the doctor to know if she is fit to sing in the show. The go signal was given only ten minutes before airtime.

But with everything that happened, she subsequently pulled it out of the rabbit’s hat and made a good impression to the judges with her interpretation of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s song – Long As I Can See The Light, on Wednesday night’s live performance show.

Cowell said to Bowersox that he is promising that this is like the time we become conscious about Kelly Clarkson that we have a serious artist here, after her performance. He thinks there is a serious artist in her and congratulated her.

Leno also asked Cowell about some of the success of American Idol finalists who did not win and he said again the comments before he made about runner-up Adam Lambert of eighth-season.

Cowell said that he sometimes thinks it is becoming a popularity contest. This is what he thought happened in the previous year. He like who won but personally, he thought the winner should have been Lambert who was as an overall artist.

He also continued as saying that there is a possibility of Paula Abdul, the former judge of American Idol of becoming a judge on his reality series, The X Factor when it launches in Fall 2011 on Fox. He said that he is not sure yet but definitely they will be working together but not in American Idol.
