AMERICAN IDOL: SEASON 9

Classical Music

The usefulness of American Idol season samplers has diminished in the age of iTunes, where each individual performance from an episode is available as a download the day after the show airs, but these official albums are a good time capsule of a particular season, and offer an opportunity to assess what went right and what went wrong during the course of that season. In the case of Season 9 -- the last season with Simon Cowell as a judge, the first with Ellen DeGeneres as a judge -- the highlights are finalists Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox, who does a faithful Janis Joplin on Me and Bobby McGee, plus Casey James sweet coffee house reading of Jealous Guy. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
