Crystal Bowersox was brought to tears Tuesday on "American Idol."
The soulful, 24-year-old musician from Toledo, Ohio, was overcome with emotion at the conclusion of her moody rendition of The Impressions' "People Get Ready" on the Fox singing competition.
Bowersox later told "Idol" host Ryan Seacrest that her father's presence in the audience during the night of inspirational songs prompted the unexpected crying. "My dad's here," she said, "and this is the first time he's been here."
