'American Idol's' Crystal Bowersox on almost quitting: 'No apologies for being human'

It broke on Thursday, April 16 that "American Idol" contestant Crystal Bowersox was homesick and ready to leave the show a couple weeks ago, but that host Ryan Seacrest convinced her to stay.Bowersox is widely considered the Season 9 frontrunner -- losing her would be a huge blow to the show and would be quite the opportunity wasted by the talented artist. Seacrest reportedly told her what winning would mean to her and that via "American Idol" he was able to buy his own mother a house and she would be similarly positioned to do the same.
Thankfully, Crystal never left the show. Since the news has hit the internet about her possible departure, she took to the official "American Idol" Facebook page to respond. She writes, "No apologies for being human. Life is always testing one's strength and weakness threshold. That's how we learn how strong we really are:-)."
You go, Crystal! We can only imagine how crazy it must be for "Idol" contestants. The stress and pressure must be tremendous and we are glad Ryan Seacrest was able to talk Crystal down. Nor should she have to apologize. We think this just shows another facet to her personality and makes her even more likable.
What do you guys think? Apologies for being human?

Crystaaaaaaall mussssst neeevvvveeeerrr ggoooooo!!she is the best
HEY CRYSTAL - GO HOME YOU STUPID HOBO!
Nice PUBLICITY STUNT she pulled. At this point she could puke on the stage and people would still vote for her. She's good, but not THAT special as she's stuck in the 60's, isn't relevant, nor current and never tries anything new vocally. Limited range too. Now we have her stories shoved down her throat weekly. What's next? Her baby gets a cold? What a joke this season has become.

Love Crystal! It's time for a strong and smart woman to take the crown! Go Crystal! You are amazing you really never cease to amaze me
No respecting idol watcher cares about this over rated, boring, one trick pony.
Well JZ, that's the only way Crystal can win. That and having Simon heap tons of praise on her. Because if he didn't, she'd walk off, lol. It's also important to pan 8 out of 9 of Siobhan's performances. If only he had panned 1/2 of them it would have been believable. But no, he did nearly all of them. The winner has been chosen, YAWN.
Lol everyone is so bitter. It doesn't matter I support Crystal eversince Bobby Mcgee and will continually do because she hasn't failed my expectations. She always give her 100%! Love Crystal!

I also believe it's a publicity stunt. Maybe her voter numbers were not as high as they expected, so a sob story was needed. She has a good voice, but she is not current, plays it safe every week, and takes not really challenging songs. Boring same old thing each week!
