While attending the sponsors’ after-party at the American Idol 2010 finale, I saw and was able to snap a photo of runner-up Crystal Bowersox saying hello to her fans.  She looked very at ease and almost relieved that the pressure of the show was behind her.  She seemed to really enjoy herself and appeared to be thrilled with the idea that people like her for her music. 

We’ll see if her accessibility continues as her career takes off, but as of the finale, she was absolutely soaking in every minute with her followers.
