Crystal Leading American Idol Betting Odds With The Finale Only Weeks Away
May 1st, 2010 – Written By Bonnie
Season 9 of American Idol is coming to an end, and every week we get one step closer to crowning the Next American Idol. With the competition heating up, even the best of the best are finding themselves in danger of being sent home. Siobhan Magnus was the most recent contestant to end her American Idol journey and many fans of the show feel that her time was way over due.
Yes, Siobhan Magnus was one of the most unique contestants, but it was only a matter of time before viewers would grow tired of hearing her scream at the end of every performance. All in all, she does have star quality and it is very likely that she will go on to have a very successful career in the entertainment industry, but, for now, there are many more contestants that outshine her.
Even with help from music super star Shania Twain, Siobhan Magnus took a fun and flirty song and and turned it into armature night at a karaoke bar. Other contestants fell short as well, but the ones that are expected to go far in this competition, such as Crystal and Lee, impressed the judges, much like they do with every performance.
Crystal can be found at the top of any American idol betting lines and has remained on top since the start of the competition. The next few weeks will be a real test as to if they have what it takes to take on the role as the Next American Idol. For some, it will be a dream come, but will the pressure be more than these aspiring performers can handle? Entertainment betting lines listed at some of the top online sportsbooks suggest that Crystal is a sure win for the title, but it is anyone’s title to take home.
Crystal Bowersox -200
Lee Dewyze +300
Casey James +700
Michael Lynche +1500
Aaron Kelly +3000

I am not a fan of Crystal Bowersox, I think she is a stereotype singer. Nothing unique about her at all. I wouldn’t be interested in buying her CD’s. Too much of this type of singer out there. Give me Sioban any day, she is great and will go a long way.
Crystal is the ONLY preformer that stayed true to herself. She deserves to win… The others are still trying to find themselves… Definately NOT IDOL material
DISAGREE, SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED IDOLS EVER ! I LOVE HER AND I HOPE SHE WINS!!!!! I’M SICK OF THE WRONG PERSON WINNING. ADAM WAS ROBBED . LAST YEAR A JOKE. VOTE,VOTE,VOTE UNTIL THE PHONE LINES CLOSE. THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL CRYSTAL BOWERSOX.
Sort of a shame REAL betting must be focused on the short term, with long-range betting for the most part an intellectual exercise.
But if it did exist, and oddsmakers could go out and ask fans and industry people who amongst the contestants on Idol this year will be the most accomplished, and the largest money earner 5 years from now – the answer is likely Siobhan Magnus.
It is just unfortunate that this season, Idol has a far more negative vibe than when Paula Abdul was on. And that so much of that negative vibe was directed against contestants who were not judges pets.
In sporting parlance, Magnus was like the athlete that is put at QB because they have the talent, personality, leadership for that position…but it is more challenging and complex than being a linebacker ready to go after summer camp and 5 games vs. 2 years to get a QB really good. And their very talent that made them able to move past less challenging performance positions exposes them to far more ways to fail openly and spectacularly to viewers. While the linebacker or someone with less vocal gifts than Magnus can look great and error-free because they are in a place that is easier to deal with choices and variables and “know who they are”. As “complete and ready” football players or as singers.
I agree that Crystal is the ONLY contestant that has stayed true to herself. She is an original. She has a great voice which sends chills down the spine because there is real emotion and soul in there. I really, really hope America gets behind this woman and votes her to the top.
Its a real shame Siobhan has gone already! should have made it to the final 2 atleast! every week she was different and exciting to listen to. just feel she rocked out her amazing scream a little too much and at the wrong times! With more training im sure she will become even more brilliant and far better than any of this years contestants. Crystal however is brilliant now and really knows how to work the song with every performance so interesting and cool to listen to!. The others are good but always same ol same ol
Crystal is a profoundly gifted singer/songwriter. Her music comes from her soul. I pray to God she wins. I think the only reason she would lose is because the female voters, the majority of viewers/voters will vote for a pretty boy instead of the real, true, authentic talent. I hope to enjoy Crystal’s music for years to come. Her music lifts my spirit. I can listen to her singing over and over again. I have never once voted for an American Idol before Crystal came along. This time around, every week, I just keep hitting redial and vote for Crystal until the phone lines close. I hope America will do the same, and if so, we will all be blessed with an amazing talent who will make the most of this opportunity to bring her light to the world. Go Crystal!
