Crystal Bowersox almost quit American Idol; Ryan Seacrest steps in

American Idol singing sensation Crystal Bowersox apparently and understandibly could not handle the sudden fame and attention she was getting and nearly quite Idol a week ago.

But some sensible talk by American Idol host Ryan Seacrest talked Bowersox out of bailing.

According to TMZ.com, Crystal Bowersox broke down in a parking lot in front of several people after a show and asked "what's the point," but it wasn't clear what triggered her actions.

Ryan Seacrest, who from personal experience seems to be a level headed person...



stepped in and reportedly said Bowersox would get a contract and become a millionaire if she won Idol, adding "The greatest thing I ever did was make enough money so I could buy my mom a house. You can buy your mom a house."

That's a great reason to continue on American Idol. Crystal Bowersox remains; bravo to Ryan Seacrest.

Stay tuned.
