At this point, no one needs to refer to Crystal Bowersox as American Idol Season 9 runner-up any longer. She’s become a recognizable artist unto her own, and the 25-year-old singer-songwriter proved it when she offered up an impressive acoustic set at our Pray For Pop showcase at the annual South By Southwest music festival in Austin, TX (while husband Brian Walker , a fellow musician, stood proudly front and center in the audience). Mama Sox belted out stripped-down renditions of songs from her debut LP Farmer’s Daugher , which you can watch in our exclusive videos after the jump! “Finally Got It Right” “ Mine All Mine” “Kiss Ya” On stage, Crystal was an elegant pop force with her guitar. But backstage she was quite the “badass,” as you can see in these behind-the-scenes photos shot by our friends at PureVolume

Idolator held its inaugural SXSW Pray For Pop party last night, and with the help of some of our favorite artists we showed Austin a rockin’ time. The six hour shindig included some sweet covers from Crystal Bowersox (Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy”) and Neon Hitch (White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army”). “Sure Thing” Miguel didn’t just perform, he joined the audience when Eliza Doolittle took the stage. And, of course, Oh Land brought her famous white balloons for her set.

Infinity Spaceship will also be providing live karaoke to all the pop star-wannabes in attendance.

Crystal Bowersox filmed something with B.B. King in Las Vegas a while ago, but we did not know what it was until today. The Season 9 Idol runner-up and blues legend are starring together in a campaign for a diabetes product that measures blood sugar called

Crystal Bowersox was sitting in the audience of the Grand Ole Opry on Friday, when, in a surprise move, Vince Gill called her up onto the stage to sing! Nobody could have been more surprised than Crystal. She tweeted, “Crazy thing.. I didn’t expect this for a second tonight…” Listen to her performance after the jump.

Crystal Bowersox sang a special bonus song, “Numb,” when she stopped by the Ladies Home Journal offices for a special acoustic performance of a few songs from her debut album, Farmer’s Daughter. I like this one. What do you think?
