This blog started as my views on Season 9 of American Idol, especially analyzing any data I could find on polling and voting. With the season over I realize the only reason I kept watching the season was to follow Crystal Bowersox, and this blog has primarily become a fan blog following her career. I do not have anything against the winner, Lee DeWyze, and I hope he succeeds, but Crystal is my personal favorite AI contestant ever and the only one not named "Carrie" whose album we own.

Facebook Fan Count - May 3, 2010
I was able to again collect Facebook fan counts for the top 9 contestants, and this time sees the first occurrence where two of the contestant fan counts actually dropped, for both Andrew and Katie. Lee has increased now so he is almost caught up to Andrew, and Tim, Siobhan and Katie are all about the same at around 24,000-25,000. Since all three of them are now eliminated it will be interesting to see how much their numbers change anymore. Aaron and Casey seem to have leveled off in their increases of fans, and the only two still gaining substantial numbers are Crystal and Lee. Since April 27 which is a 6 day span (my longest span on my chart), Lee has gained almost 4,000 fans (from 39,917 to 43,866) and Crystal has gained over 7,000 fans (from 79,464 to 86,575). That is not too shabby a number! I also noticed that Melissa Etheridge has 40,351 fans and Tracy Chapman has 31,558, so Crystal actually has substantially more Facebook fans than some of her "influences".
