Gender Swap at 'American Idol'
An ill female contestant has led "American Idol" to change their entire show tonight ... and forced the male wannabes to perform a day early.

"Idol" execs just sent out a release which said the guys will now be performing tonight instead of the girls, "due to medical issues which would prevent Crystal Bowersox from performing" ... so the girls will go on tomorrow.
In the release, it says everything will go back to normal next week ... pending there are no more medical emergencies.
Get well Crystal!

Reminds me of Janis Joplin. Man, can this gal belt out a tune. Can't wait to see her first CD released. WHEN??????? Not soon enough!

This woman is the total package. She far exceeds any of the previous AI contestants. Win or lose she will have as big a career as she wants.

Never forget that you were 'somebody' before you were on American Idol; we just didn't know you. ;)
Don't let them get you down and keep being yourself. There will always be some percentage of people in the world who are envious of what you have that they do not have so the more people who know you the more people that pecentage will represent.
Best of luck.
