Behind her great performance during the American Idol final two showdown is her aching heart, season 9 runner-up Crystal Bowersox revealed that she and her boyfriend Tony Kusian decided to split-up right before the final two performance show.

On Ryan Seacrest KIIS-FM radio show, Bowersox said, "Big Tony...he went home. He wasn't cool with the lifestyle"

And added, "It's cool though, we're both logical, grown adults. He's a small town guy and that's fine, I'm a small town girl, but I want this. I want this more than anything, this career, this lifestyle. I didn't think he was up for it...he didn't think he was up for it."

Crystal explained that the break-up was mutual, and that there were no hard feelings on her part.

Lee DeWyze won American Idol season 9 but the judges and many critics felt that Bowersox delivered a better performance during the final two showdown.
