How did a blonde haired, dreadlocked cross between Jewel and Allison Kraus sneak into the American Idol competition?
I mean, how did a talent like hers go unsigned to a major record label before her audition on the show?
Granted, there are other talented performers on the show like Lee DeWise, Tim Urban and "Big Mike" Lynch, but Crystal Bowersox is in a class all her own.
I'm not a music producer, manager or critic, but I will tell you what my own ears hear. This girl is something special.
And though she may be among the best in the nation, I will tell you there are countless local and regional bands that will knock your socks off with more talent, charisma, live performance ability and chutzpah than 95% of the signed, recorded and played artists out there.
Crystal Bowersox is American music. She is soulful, genuine, edgy, herself, bluesey and even bluegrassy. She is that rare talent that makes your hair stand on end and your eyes go moist when you hear her voice.
