It started a capella – and it ended with as much praise as an American Idol contestant has received in years. Forget the judges for a moment. Check out what a group of impartial observers had to say about Crystal Bowersox’s rendition of “People Get Ready” last night , which brought the singer to such tears that she could scarcely finish. MTV.com : “It was the best performance of the season.” Salon.com : “Forget about goose bumps! I had been filled with the Holy Spirit and was jumping up and down in my humble living room screaming, ‘Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Alleluia, Alleluia!’ I became a born-again believer that “American Idol” could actually be redeemed, saved from its lost and depraved ways by its savior, Crystal Bowersox .” GQ.com : “As frontrunner skeptics, it took Bowersox’s near collapse into heavy sobbing to finally convince us that her season-long steely calm was not professionalism, but rather a coping device. Despite the crumbling reputation, this is still a big deal, this American Idol show. Crystal seems to know that now.” DID YOU MISS THE PERFORMANCE? OR CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH IT AGAIN? SEE BELOW.
