So this is my first post as an “Idol Blogger”!  I figure that I spend all week talking about Idol, why not write it down too?!

So we are about a half hour away from tonights live show and there are rumblings that Crystal Bowersox fate is up in the air. There is no official word from American Idol or FOX on the status of Crystal’s health. Ken Warwick, Idol’s Executive Producer, told Ryan Seacrest earlier today that if Crystal cannot return to the competition tonight that she may be out and that only one girl would go home on Thursday. Mr. Warwick went on to say  ”You go through all your life singing, hoping, waiting for your break, then this comes along and it will go sour, which is an awful shame”.

On a personal note, I’m really hoping that Crystal is doing better and will be able to continue. I think she is one of the strongest performers on the girls side of the competition. She has great stage presence and really knows who she is as an artist. I can definitely see her going very far in the race to be the next American Idol.

Here’s to hoping that the girls put on a great show tonight. There has yet to be someone that really blows me away. Maybe tonight will be the night!!
