I think Crystal would do well with the Jem version of Maybe I'm Amazed.

They have announced changes to next year's format, due to viewer feedback!!

Fox is changing the "American Idol" format after it sagged in the ratings, giving a supersized push to "Glee" and focusing on comedy heading into the next television season.

Fox still hasn't answered its most compelling mystery for next season: Who will replace Simon Cowell when he leaves "American Idol" this month?

That search is top priority for Fox this summer, said Peter Rice, entertainment chairman of the Fox Networks Group.

"We have to find a judge to replace Simon who provides both musical credibility and an incredible entertainment value," Rice said. "Anytime you have a change, it's something you have to do right."

In response to viewer requests for more performances, Fox will increase the Tuesday night competition show from an hour to 90 minutes. The Wednesday results show will be chopped in half to 30 minutes, Fox executives said.

Rumour has it Simon Cowell will be knighted in this year's Queen's Birthday Honours List! If the rumour's true, he gets the title for his charity work.

I have no problem with Tuesday's show going to 90 minutes if it means more performances. I do have a problem if it goes to 90 minutes and they show more baby pictures and background crap and the show still runs over its allotted time.

So, glee will start on the half hour?? I don't like that at all. Idol pushing Glee out of the way? Bad choice Fox.

On today's Chicago Fox show they were discussing how much money the top 3 got (with a mention that the top 10 go on the road and are compensated, but he cant find out how much the compensation is)

He said the winner gets 176,000 + another $176,00 for the album( now I certainly wasnt glued to the tv, and that number seems odd, so I could've heard it wrong!)

The runner up gets $150,000 + $150,000 when that album comes out (again, I'm going on memory with very little sleep)

and the 3rd place gets $100,000 + 100,000 when their album comes out -

point being they are all HUGE winners arent they?

Has the "prize" money been mentioned anywhere?

So do you think that the same jet carries them to their hometowns...I guess they dropped off Casey, then the next two...and then loops back around and picks them all up?

I guess for some reason I was surprised they were all on the same jet.

Wow, she was good. You can completely hear in her voice that she was a Jewel fan.

LOL Tish I just came to post the exact same video. Except I found it on some TMZ site where I was trying to find a different video lol. Yours has more info where it's from. I thought she sounded and looked GREAT...and SOOO sweet. And thought she was amazing on the guitar for that age as well. Boy, it's hard to find anything new here, and I thought I found a gem LOLOL.

Here's my link, but I think yours is better lol;

I love Crystal, she reminds me a little of one of my all time favorite singers, Eva Cassidy. I hope she wins, even if she sounds the same in many of her songs to some people, at least she's always easy to listen to and truly enjoyable. I think it's maybe time for an Eva Cassidy type.

Eva Cassidy was a wonderful singer and I can see a resemblance in Crystal's performances.

Jgalt, Eva Cassidy is my favorite singer. She died entirely too young. What a tragic loss.

Imo, Crystal deserves the win. She did a better job on all three of her songs than Lee did last night.

Lee's a good singer and will do better with CDs than performing live, I think. They will both have very successful careers, though. Casey will do well, too, as a live performer; he's quite a guitarist, too.

Anyone else notice Chicken Little in the audience last night? I can't for the life of me remember his real name.

I saw him, Aurora, and that's exactly what I said, too, "Chicken little!" Can never remember his name.

Does anyone know if Josh Gracin was up there. He was a finalist too. I didn't see a bunch I thought I'd see.
