\n $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Crystal Bowersox has my vote to win American Idol 2010. She\u2019s got a wonderful, unique talent, and lots of heart and I could listen to her all day long.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Lee Dewyze is very good, too, though he\u2019s not as consistent or at Crystal\u2019s level \u2013 yet.<\/p>\n

Their duet singing the Oscar-winning \u201cFalling Slowly\u201d from the film ONCE, singled them out as the finalists and I just loved it. One of my favorite songs of recent years.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t happy with American Idol this year; the singers really struggled and the judges were limp and frankly, consistently annoying. Ryan Seacrest announced auditions for the tenth season and Simon is leaving. I haven\u2019t decided if AI will be on my menu any more, though I am always happy when young people do well. I do hope that whoever wins (they will both have opportunities for sure) that they can handle a career, and bring beauty, truth, and goodness to our world. And I hope whatever song they make the winner sing, that it won\u2019t be too awful like last year\u2019s. After all the contestants go through, they don\u2019t need to end with a penance!
