Ryan Seacrest saved American Idol star Crystal Bowersox from quitting
[HMG] – In between hosting a radio show that has made him every D-list celebrity’s favorite agony aunt, Ryan Seacrest finds time to host American Idol. And he’s now being praised for saving one contestant, Crystal Bowersox from blowing her chance at the prize.
It seems Crystal was close to quitting about two weeks ago, and was in the process of leaving when Ryan stepped in and made the wannabe star change her mind.
Crystal told Ryan she couldn’t handle the pressure, hated all the attention and was going back to Ohio to be with her family, as being away from home for so long was making her miserable.
For his part, the smooth-talking host then explained that being on ‘Idol’ was like starting a business, and that if she was successful she get a recording contract and wind up really rich.
“The greatest thing I ever did was make enough money to buy my mom a house. You can buy your mom a house,” he told the sad-faced chanteuse.
And that changed her mind…or so TMZ claims.
I’d just like to say THANK YOU, RYAN! Crystal’s the next American Idol, leaving would have been a grave mistake.
Crystal, you need to stay , You are one of the best! It may be alot of work and pressure but this
is a chance of a life time for you! You will go far and you will never have to worry about taking
care of your child and your mom again. As money is not everything , you need to know you have
a real talent and a beautiful voice. Your family is going to be so proud of you espically your little one some day. Life is a struggle being a single parent, but with your talent you will never need to worry
about not being able to give her anything. I have been supporting you the whole show, pleae dont give up. Your the greatest! Good Luck and God Bless!
