Crystal Bowersox is still in the lead

The girls of American Idol had another run for their money last night and, surprise surprise, Crystal Bowersox is still in the lead with her performance of Tracy Chapman’s “Give me one reason”. Ellen DeGeneres was apparently so moved she could utter nothing more than “Best performance of the night” to describe Crystal Bowersox. Simon Cowell too is apparently feeling very optimistic about her: “You are the one everybody has to beat, I’m telling you. It’s yours to lose.” Always ever so thoughtful… that’s Simon Cowell for you. However, Crystal Bowersox need not worry as she will stay to sing another day.
