I am not a fan of "Idol" or dreaslocks, but she looks just fine to me. If a lady MUST have long hair-(I hate it)- then that style suits her fine.

I don't care if she comes out bald-she can sign and I wouldn't change a thing!

i dont normally comment on trivial things like this but didn't that guy a couple years ago have dreads, that is the one that played the Ukulele.Hey if i'm wrong oh well but is this a case of media making a story out of nothing. Ha like it's a story at all

you keep those dreadlocks and be happy but you wont win american idol with that look- do you really think carrie underwood would have won if she looked like crystal - if adam didnt wear makeup I bet he would have won - its all about the appearance this year cause there isnt any talent among this group

I don't like the dreadlocks, but I think it is great that she is standing her ground. She knows who she is and she doesn't want to change that. She wants to stay true to herself and I love that about her.

I think that Crystal is a pretty fair singer, but those dreadlocks of hers are disgusting and distracing. Maybe I would think she sang better if I could focus more on her voice and less on her dirty looking lazy hair.

Crystal is a breath of fresh air for idol...havent watched in a couple of years cuz all the girls usually sound the same...I hope she wins this season...its pure Entertainment to watch her....
as for the hair...Its what she likes and she wears it well...
GOOD LUCk Crystal...

I've never commented on a site before, but thought this was a good time to speak up. I normally don't like dreadlocks at all, but on Crystal I really do and think they fit her perfectly. I also agree with her staying true to herself. Any stylist worth their salt would help her bring out and enhance her natural beauty and style, not turn her into a cookie cutter version of everyone else. I thought last night's style, with an upsweep of the dreadlocks and the soft drape of her bangs was very becoming and yet still truly "Crystal". I also think a good stylist could make recommendations in regard to clothing styles in her genre that would enhance her overall appearance and yet still let her remain true to herself. If the Idol stylists can't seem to manage that, then leave her alone...she's doing great all by herself! Just for the record, I'm in my mid 50s, and I think she rocks!

I'd love to know what is "super awesome" about dreadlocks. Most people agree that they look as though the person hasn't washed their hair or taken a bath in weeks. I wonder how many men/women love to run their hands through them. It's mindblowing how people who want to remain "true to themselves" do their very best to look horrendous.

She's a very pretty girl. One you don't take home to mother. Just kidding with the Rick James " Super Freak" song . I'm not gonna lie to you it's a little weird and she kind of looks like a pot head with the dread locks. That's just my own stereotyped opinon that every white person who has dread looks also has the unfortunate problem of having a problem with weed. She's probably a really down to earth girl I guess she can sing . I don't know with what's going on in Haiti and in Chile and the Healthcare bill which from what I heard has been passed . This really doesn't bother me . And it really shouldn't bother anybody else because it's her hair. It's not like she got her bong on with Simon Randy and Ellen.

I think she would have more votes if she changed her hair.I feel it is a little out dated.If I were her I would do anything they tell me to win. She could always go back to that dreaded look once she makes enough money to set her up for life. Then I would think be true to my self

You go, Crystal!!!!!
