MTV Readers' Vote Crystal Bowersox's People Get Ready Best Idol Performance Of All Time

CRYSTAL BOWERSOX' S ACHINGLY RAW PERFORMANCE THIS WEEK HAS MTV READERS TOUTING IT AS THE BEST Idol performance ever, beating out Carrie Underwood's Alone, Fantasia Barrino's Summertime and David Cook's Billie Jean.

Momma Bowersox's heartwringing rendition of People Get Ready beat out 11 other "iconic" performances for the "best performance" title.

Yet some Idol fans were aggrieved that performances by Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and Jennifer Hudson were left off the ballot so the website is reissuing the unscientific "poll." If you want to vote, head over there today.

Does it really matter? Regardless of who came before her, Bowersox delivered a piercingly raw and honest performance Tuesday night that won't be forgotten soon.

People get ready, indeed.
