:: Billboard gives a compelling essay on why Crystal Bowersox will win Idol… and they follow it up with an even more convincing essay reasoning why Lee DeWyze will win, just to help confuse potential voters tomorrow night on who to root for. [Billboard]

:: Crystal has definitely come a long, long way since busking for change at a Chicago train stop. Watch her perform for the crowds waiting for the L train back in the day. [MJs Big Blog]

:: After hearing Casey James sing his song “Okay, It’s Alright With Me” during the Top 3 performances, Eric Hutchinson says he would love to write a song with Casey James. We much prefer this quote, though, about his song being referred to as “musical salad” by Simon: “I tried not to take any of the judges’ comments too personally, but it sort of felt like my brother had knocked over a vase while I wasn’t in the room and I was the one who ended up getting yelled at.” Ouch.
