Proving once again that it’s not so bad coming in second place on American Idol, this year’s runner up Crystal Bowersox has signed a recording contract.

Lee DeWyze’s Idol Single Doesn’t Make The Top 20, Sells Less Than Glee
Lee DeWyze may have been more popular than Crystal Bowersox with American Idol voters, but compared to previous champions he may have the smallest fanbase yet.

Lee DeWyze caused eyes across the country to swell with happy tears when he won American Idol last night, but as history (Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson, Adam Lambert, etc.) has shown, it’s doesn’t matter who takes home the Idol crown. Ain’t that right, Taylor Hicks? The finale has evolved into an over-the-top affair filled with painful [...]

Here’s our favorite news today of the “unsolicited offers and backhanded compliments” variety. A “dentist to the stars” (ugh) in New York City has offered to fix American Idol singer Crystal Bowersox‘s teeth for free to make her look more media-friendly.

Crystal Bowersox Feels “Betrayed By Seacrest”
Last week we brought you the news that Crystal Bowersox, American Idol‘s dreadlocked guitarist with the voice to beat, had a minor meltdown and threatened to quit the show.

Crystal Bowersox Threatened To Leave Idol, Seacrest Convinced Her To Stay
Crystal Bowersox, in our opinion, is the clear frontrunner to win American Idol this season.
