Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Below, you’ll find video clips of all of Crystal Bowersox’s live performances from season nine of American Idol.

As you watch, you can’t help but appreciate her consistency. From the day she showed up on the Idol stage, it was clear she was a force to be reckoned with.

Of course, she’ll square off tonight against Lee DeWyze for the Idol crown. I’ll be blogging live throughout the show, providing song-by-song grades, so check back then.
Before we get to the videos, here are Crystal’s answers to some question posed by Idol back at the start of the competition. You can find all of the questions and answers at americanidol.com.

And if you’re looking for a great profile piece on Crystal, talking to family and friends, check out this story from the Toledo Blade.
