Well, just as Lee Dewyze's first single was too much overproduced pop for my liking, they have seemed to have done the same thing to Crystal Bowersox's songs too. Someone on her fan forums was able to record the music clips from
HitPredictor.com to MP3 and
post them on their forum (as well as on her
main site's forum.) They took the title track from the album ,"Farmer's Daughter", and added two much production that seems to bury her voice with too many instruments. Crystal sings her first single, "Hold On", quite admirably, but it is also suffering from the same "too much" syndrome, too much backing vocals, too much instrumentation. I was hoping Jive would not do it as much to her as RCA did to Lee, but I was wrong. It seems like many of her fans agree (as do many of Lee's fans as well.) Good news for Lee, though, is that his track "Sweet Serendipity" is
gaining in airplay and moving up the charts. He is currently #46 on the Hot AC chart and #44 on USA Today's "Idol Airplay Chart". He also has some
media appearances scheduled in the upcoming week to promote his album "Live It Up" which will be released in just over a week. Starting with the
Tonight Show tomorrow, he will be visiting the
Today Show,
Regis and Kelly,
Ellen and then the
VH1 Top 20 Countdown. He should be premiering his music video for his single soon as well.
