Crystal Bowersox played her first Nashville gig last night (Jan. 23) appearing at 3rd & Lindsley as part of a live radio broadcast on AAA station WRLT-FM.

Listen to Crystal’s 5 song set, including, “Farmer’s Daughter”, “Speak Now”, “Arlene” (1st time she ever performed it live!), “Mason” and “Ridin’ on the Radio.”

Brian Mansfield of Idol Chatter was in the audience (Read his review), as were Idol pals Aaron Kelly and Felicia Barton. Husband Brian Walker joined Crystal onstage for “Mason” and son Tony enjoyed the music from backstage.

“Had a great tome tonight despite my cold, surrounded by my best friends and family,” Crystal tweeted after the show, “Nashville is off to a great start!”.

Crystal will be in Nashville the rest of the week taking meetings and making media appearances, then it’s off to Atlanta, with more cities to follow.

MICHAEL JACKSON, SUSAN BOYLE & TAYLOR SWIFT BATTLE FOR #1

The No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart next week is seemingly up for grabs, as three albums are possibly vying for the penthouse.

Michael Jackson's new posthumous "Michael" set may move around 200,000 to 225,000 by week's end on 

Sunday, Dec. 19, according to industry sources. But, Susan Boyle's current No. 1, "The Gift," could also sell around as many copies (if not more), as could Taylor Swift's former chart-topper "Speak Now."

Jackson's last release, the "This Is It" compilation soundtrack, started at No. 1 a little over a year ago with 373,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan. However, it's difficult to compare the sales fortunes of "Michael" to "This Is It" because they are such different projects. The former is a much-discussed assemblage of new recordings coming nearly a year and a half after his death. On the flip side, "This" was essentially a greatest hits collection, released in conjunction with the popular concert documentary film.

Next week's second-biggest debut will probably come from R. Kelly's "Love Letter," which is aiming for a start around 160,000. That should be enough to secure the R&B icon his 13th top 10 album. A year ago, he arrived at No. 4 with "Untitled," shifting 114,000.

Diddy Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris" might roll into the top 15 with possibly 60,000 to 70,000. Diddy last took a bow on the list back in 2006 when his "Press Play" entered at No. 1 with 170,000.

Other new albums on tap for a significant debut next week include 2010 "American Idol" runner-up Crystal Bowersox's "Farmer's Daughter" (45,000 to 50,000), Tank's "Now Or Never" (perhaps 40,000 to 45,000) andCiara's "Basic Instinct" (30,000 to 40,000).

For you "Idol"-watchers, Bowersox's first-week will likely exceed that of the fellow she lost to: Lee DeWyze. His "Live It Up" debut started with 39,000 at No. 19 a few weeks ago. (DeWyze's set earned the smallest start for an "Idol" champ's first post-show album.) SOURCE

Crystal Bowersox – Farmer’s Daughter – Music Video Premiere!

It’s here! The full length version of the music video for the Crystal Bowersoxsingle “Farmer’s Daughter”–the explicit version, peeps.

Awesome. A video that actually tells a coherent story. That was gorgeous! The metaphor of the unraveling sweater, seeing Crystal grow from a child into adulthood, the final shots of her new family–full circle and healed. The video tells a powerful story.

Watch it after the jump.

CRYSTAL BOWERSOX ON THE TONIGHT SHOW!!!

She may not have been voted the next American Idol, but Crystal Bowersox came pretty close – and continues to prove that her runner-up status won’t deter her from a promising career. Despite a folksier, coffeeshop vibe on Fox’s star-making machine of a TV show, Bowersox is heavily leaning country for her debut album, out December 14. Last night, Lee DeWyze’s one-time nemesis crooned the title track on The Tonight Show — and yes, “Farmer’s Daughter,” complete with Bowersox’s twangy delivery, is so appropriately named she might as well have been milking a cow on stage while singing.
