American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox has defended her decision to sing Shania Twain’s ‘No One Needs To Know’ on last night’s show.

Crystal’s rendition of the country track was criticised by all four members of the judging panel, with Simon Cowell saying:

We don’t like Crystal this week, that’s really the story. I thought it was limp, it was very much something you’d expect…

But after she sang, the 24 year old mum of one told E! Online: “I feel good. I felt like I had a good performance and I had a good time with it, the musicians up on the stage with me.

“It wasn’t a big song so I couldn’t sing it big! It’s a sweet little love song and that’s how I feel I delivered it.”
