Overwhelmed by the stress and pressure of being on 'American Idol,' contestant Crystal Bowersox threatened to walk off the show. 'Idol' host Ryan Seacrest stepped in and had a quick heart-to-heart with her in the show's parking lot, TMZ reports. Sources claim Bowersox told him she couldn't handle the competition and didn't like all the media attention and threatened to move back to Ohio to be with her family.

Jealousy is such an ugly trait, you need to find a way to get away from it and have a happier and healthier life!
I don't know what it is about Crystal, but in my house... we don't care for her. Every song she sings sounds the same. We're leaning towards others on the show.

We dont care for her either. We are leaning toward Casey. I just wish Casey would have left Lawdy Miss Clawdy alone and not changed it so much.
Crystal is the best singer. She sings with conviction and is probably the best singer Idol has ever had. Even over Kelly Clarkson who is great. You probably dont like her because she sings more rythym & blues white soul style . Shes great and will win. She reminds me of a clean healthy Janis Joplin.
I know what it is: Se has dreads and facial pearcings and the main reason: dada dada dada drum roll please...YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN!
Of course you don't like her.
Not a big fan of her either Elizabeth. We are hoping Lee wins! He's our guy!!!!
Kamila - you're an idiot and I am a dem. Way to make yourself and the party look lame!
Well, I'm glad to see that some others feel the same as I do. As far as not watching AI again if Crystal doesn't win, I feel just the opposite. I don't like anything about her - her voice, her song choices, her looks - nothing at all. In fact, I especially dislike her attitude, and I think Simon hit the nail on the head when he told her she acted like she had it in the bag (or words to that effect). That's exactly the impression she gives me. I love Lee and Siobhan. And, I'm 63! This is the first season I've really watched.
I think she is really the stand out but I agree ...I am not sure she is cut out for fame ...I don't think she will like being told by the contractor what to do and what to sing ..She is really independent...It's going to be hard....I love casey,too i hope he loosens up more in the next week.....
to each their own. She's special in her talent, unlike the others. Go Crystal!
I have to agree with Elizabeth in that every song does sound the same. I really like Cyrstal as a person, and I do think she's very talented. However, I know I'd never by a CD of any performer where all the songs sound the same, as hers have on AI. I'm not sure if the judges critiques are to blame for that, or if that's all she can do or wants to do. I hope she succeeds in the business if she wants that, but I, too, am leaning towards someone else.
That said, if Siobhan won I'd also be feeling the same way, because that screaming is just that....screaming, not singing. She has such a beautiful voice, but I could never listen to that scream for the majority of her songs if she made a CD.
don't forget that Sobhan (or how ever her name is spelled, who cares) her nose is pierced. She sucks big time, with her screaming at the end of every song. Get over it Sobby!!
NONE OF THESE "SINGERS" MERRIT A WIN! SHOIBAN IS THE MOST TALENTED OF THEM ALL, THOUGH.

She is absolutely awful. Should have been let go in the begining.
siobahn is a nasal singer. I was behind her in the beginning, lately tho.....she is blowing it somewaht. Crystal and michael lynch will be the top 2.
Your right, she has the best unique voice, the only other two like crystal sound alike
Man I agree with you. I think the "judges", I guess that is what they are suppose to be, let all the good ones go when choosing the "top 24". I think they chose the "bottom 24". Especially the girl who can no longer try out because of her 'age'. And that phoney Kara telling her just how 'wonderful' her voice is and then tells her she didn't make it; also the guy they didn't choose over Andrew, I am so glad he is gone, he should never have been selected in the first place. As for Casey, I cannot see what is so special about him. And what is it about Kara and these stories she always gives about the singers. If you judges don't like the songs that they pick--then let the judges pick the songs. Boy, I better stop because I can go on and on about the show this year. I can surely understand why their ratings are down.
AGREED! 100%
We really hope she hangs in there. We've loved her from the first time we saw her! What a voice! About the dreads, they are great and part of what makes her who she is. Stay Crystal, you are the best and we are waiting for your first album!
