I’m not overly impressed with this year’s American Idol contestants. And that goes for Crystal Bowersox as well, even though she seems to be the favorite of both the public and the judges.
This week saw Bowersox perform People Get Ready by The Impressions. She belted out the song, and ended up in tears.
Most people are impressed with the performance and not at all cynical about the tears. But I’m a little less believing they were genuine, having become more cynical than ever over Simon Cowell’s brand of reality TV shows.
Take away the tears, and was the performance actually any good? It was average, at best. Maybe I’m being overly harsh but it certainly didn’t blow me away.
