The 2009-2010 TV season featured a particularly gifted class of freshmen who won our hearts and made us tune in week after week. Let us toast the breakout stars of this season, whom we can't wait to see a whole lot more of next fall.
Crystal Bowersox, "American Idol
"Yes, Lee DeWyze won the season, but it was Bowersox who imprinted her soulful, gospel-flecked voice onto the American psyche. Her version of Kris Kristofferson's "Me and Bobby McGee" owed a lot to Janis Joplin
's, but Bowersox also added a dusky folk flavor, giving the song a new layer of heartbreak and appeal. Her twisty blond dreads and punky look belie the genuineness of her open heart and truly memorable voice. We agree with Randy, who said, "Yo, check this out! America! ... That's what's called being a star." Maybe we're amazed.
