“American Idol” contestant Crystal Bowersox went to the hospital yesterday, and the show switched up the schedule to accommodate her. The boys performed last night instead of the girls, who will perform tonight. I’ve got the scoop on why Crystal Bowersox went to the hospital and some thoughts on how it will affect the competition.
Crystal Bowersox’s hospital visit

Crystal Bowersox went to the hospital because of diabetes complications, according to Us Weekly. However, though her absence pushed the girls’ competition to tonight, Crystal Bowersox’s hospital stay was short and sweet. The magazine reports that she is cleared to perform tonight, when the “American Idol” competition will resume with the girls’ performances.

It’s a bit early to be betting your paycheck loans on who is going to take the title, but I think Crystal Bowersox will remain a competitor on “American Idol” for quite some time. Furthermore, Crystal Bowersox’s hospital trip can only improve her chances. Now that she’s all over the news, more people will be paying attention to Crystal Bowersox if they weren’t already.
A different type of contestant

“American Idol” judges have said from the beginning that Crystal Bowersox isn’t your usual “American Idol” contestant. Even Crystal Bowersox herself has said that she never imagined herself being on “American Idol.” She is very open about the fact that she only tried out for “American Idol” because of her son. This woman doesn’t want to rely on payday loan companies to support her family.

Her story and her honesty have won her fans. Her performances have won over viewers like me; she has been one of my favorites all along. Now, Crystal Bowersox’s hospital trip will only improve her chances, as sympathy from the audience will probably affect some voters who didn’t already favor her.
‘American Idol’ this week

Although the boys didn’t get many rave reviews from the judges last night, they seemed prepared for the switch-up. There were a few strange twists as Lee Dewyze and Andrew Garcia left their guitars back stage, and Casey James traded acoustic for electric.

Now that she’s out of the hospital, Crystal Bowersox will be back to perform and compete with the other girls on a two-hour “American Idol” tonight. Just like last week, the results of the vote — meaning who is eliminated — will be announced Thursday.
