not winning. I mentioned here before that she’s from a town not far from us. The friends that she mentions, Bobby May and Frankie May and Ron Rasberry are also friends of ours. The exposure she got from Idol is immeasurable! She wants to record her own songs and that is not on Idol’s agenda at all. I also agree that Carrie and Kelli stayed in the genre they preferred, but I don’t know if they would have allowed Crystal that freedom because she doesn’t fit any one particular mold for Idol. In my mind, she didn’t take the top spot because the voting airwaves are ruled by little girl teenyboppers who always seem to vote for the cute guy. Nothing wrong with that except that it skews the voting from those of us who vote according to talent. It would have been interesting if it had been Crystal and one of the other female contestants as the the last two standing to see how it would have ended up. But, in the long run, she is going to be just fine and can now pick the production company that best fits her plans for her career. I hope she explodes onto the scene like Daughtry did.
Daughtry was until I saw the group recently perform on AI show and then I went and investigated their music on the web. They are wonderful. Crystal – I’ve liked since the begining – she will go far. I am sorry also to hear that her and her boyfriend split up. He wanted small town life without all the hoopla that came along with the fame for Crystal, she wanted to have a singing career. Maybe that’s why she looked so sad and stoic the last few shows. Think maybe the old Stones line is true "You can’t always get what you want , And if you try sometime you find, You get what you need."
