Crystal Bowersox: American Idol Hopeful Sings Janis Joplin, Makes Simon Cowell Smile

With a last name like Bowersox and blonde dreadlocks and a lip-piercing, Crystal Bowersox has got some distinctive features!

It's not everyday that you see a folk rock and blues singer wearing a guitar and rocking blonde dreadlocks. It's even more rare that a girl who grew up on a farm in Ohio would remind you of Janis Joplin - in braces.

Crystal has a stand-out look and a stand-out voice. I like her already.
