April 21, 2010 'American Idol' recap: The Power of Good CryPosted: 06:06 PM ET
by Michael Slezak Via EW.com Big girls don't cry. Or at least that's what Frankie Valli, Fergie, and even season 9's Robot Girl Contestant have sung with varying degrees of believability. Lucky for us, then, that Crystal Bowersox is not a girl, but rather, a full-grown woman. And she proved that point tonight by putting down her armor, entering the Idoldome in an emotionally naked state, and delivering a rendition of the Impressions' "People Get Ready" that, if American Idol were played like Monopoly, would be the equivalent of getting a "Go directly to the Nokia. Do not pass 'Go,' do not collect $200" card. Even those who've accused MamaSox of rarely straying from variations on an Earth-goddess theme would have to admit that the season 9 front-runner shook things up tonight by performing without an instrument and rocking a slinky black gown with a plunging neckline (no small cause for applause, given the general lack of sartorial excitement over the past eight weeks of live performances). And as Crystal kicked things off with an a capella first verse that already had the emotions at a serious simmer, there was a palpable sense in the air that we were witnessing something special.
