Crystal should have won American Idol but it's probably best for her that she didn't (she might be able to get into the studio sooner and have a bit more freedom!)
Listen to this performance from 1999 at age 13! Wow -- pure natural talent. I've downloaded almost all of her Idol studio recordings and will definitely buy her CD whenever it comes out.
This is one year I wholeheartedly agree that the right 2 people made it to the finals. I think it worked out for the best because I think Lee will really benefit from some guidance while Crystal is certain of her creative direction and will definitely spread her wings and fly. They are both beautiful spirits and I wouldn't be surprised to hear them record a duet somewhere down the road.
ReplyDeleteYes, I totally agree. Lee needs the direction but Crystal just needed to be seen -- now she and her fantastic voice will take care of the rest.
