Those watching to see how American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox performed after being rushed to the hospital earlier in the week due to complications from her Type 1 diabetes were not disappointed. She belted out a stirring rendition of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “As Long As I Can See The Light”.
Earlier in the week Crystal was rushed to the hospital reportedly from complications from her Type 1 diabetes. As a result, American Idol moved the men’s portion of this week’s show to Tuesday and pushed the women back to Wednesday. It is still unclear what happened to Bowersox, or how severe her illness was, but she came back strong on Wednesday night.
“Crystal, I know how sick you were actually over the last 24 hours. It wasn’t just like catching a cold or something, you really were ill and I didn’t know whether you were going to be back here this week,” said judge Simon Cowell. “What’s great about you is you didn’t play the whole sympathy thing. You chose a great song…I completely misunderestimated you last week. … The vocal was incredible. This was like the moment we realized with Kelly Clarkston that we’ve got a serious artist here. “
