</3 Idol is dead to me. Thanks for giving me Kelly, Carrie, Kellie, Jordin, David Cook, Lambert, Fanny, and Archie.

In the end, she's better off not winning. Her music was never going to be mainstream enough to sell well. Now she can make her album and not have that "winner must sell xxxx!!!" pressure.

Nah, she'll get the "runners-up sell xxxxxx!!!" pressure. She'll also be compared to Lee non-stop, despite not being in the same genre.

Yeah, she's in the unenviable position of being seen as the person that should have won, but didn't. The pressure is double on her to outsell Lee. Lots have tried, only about 3 out of the 9 RU's have done it.

I'm not judging this against Kelly's since this one is studio and Kelly's was not. Not to mention, they have 2 different voices and Kelly would SLAY this one for sure!
BTW.. can we fix the title?? It should be "Mountain"

This is better than Lee's for sure. Crystal can be a successful artist, but she really is better suited to another era. Lee will probably ultimately be the bigger star unless Crystal manages to find some songs that can resonate with people. Personally, I love her Janis Joplin vibe, but that on average, isn't popular with the masses.

I think she will do better than Lee, there is nothing special about him. Not even the look.

Yes, of course, Kelly's performance is better. She's been performing professionally for almost 10 years and she's been performing this song for several of those years.
This performance isn't bad but I don't think it's Crystal at her best. I'm just not hearing the soulfulness that we heard in her earlier AI performances. I don't think anyone's expecting a radio hit from this. It would be difficult to make a hit out of it by an established artist in the winter months but certainly not a new artist in the summer. I am anxious to hear original material from her as we approach her album release.

I actually really, really, don't like Crystal's recording voice. At all. She sounds too poppy in her recordings. Her live performances are much better.

Crystal is raw talent and it shows in her live performances. I have to take a listen to the studio ones to judge, but I still think she should have won Idol last night. Lee is good but not great and based on vocals, Crystal should have taken the title.

Lots have tried, only about 3 out of the 9 RU's have done it. Although I said that comment sarcastically in total belief that comparing winners to runners-up is idiotic, especially where the winner and runner-up are on different labels, being marketed in a completely different manner to completely different audiences who purchase music in completely different ways. Lee and Crystal will not be marketed in the same way and won't have the same audience. Just as with S7 and S8 (two seasons where the winners & runners-up are still signed to their major labels)--the comparisons are illogical, even if people are so caught up in fanwarring that they still do it.

Crystal is so much more taletned than Lee it isn't funny. Why TPTB decided to pimp a guy who can't sing on key live and lacks any sort of interesting personality is a mystery to me. I guess they decided Crystal's music isn't commercial enough.
And they could have a point. She's very talnted but she's not real mainstream. Neither she nor Lee are likely to do much on the pop charts -- this single will never even get sent to that format -- it will live or die on country, AC and (MAYBE) AAA formats. Lee meanwhile has no pop vibe to him at all -- if he's going to be successful, he's eitehr going to go the Hot AC route or hope against hope that Alt Rock/AAA stations are finally get over their years-long aversion to playing anything Idol related. Otherwise, he's toast.

Good Luck Crystal. lol Oh well, at least we know that with Jive and their radio payola machine, her first single would do okay, and that they probably won't expect her to sell too many albums before giving her a 2nd album after seeing how many Kris and Allison sold this year.

It's not like it did Allison any good.

And they did ok with David A.'s too. But they've been on a downward spiral. And they don't do folksy music. lol they're straight pop/R&B.
