Crystal Bowersox Wants To Delay Debut Album Until Next Spring

American Idol runner-up Crystal Bowersox told MTV.com that she is in no rush to release her debut album, even though her record label is pushing for it to come out before the end of 2010.

"The label's saying in the fall [of 2010] and I'm telling them in the spring [of 2011] because I don't want to rush something out just to hit Black Friday sales," she said in an interview with 101.5 The River, a radio station located in her hometown of Toledo, Ohio.

"I don't think that's right. I want ... not just to have a product, but to have a good product, something that I will be proud of in 10, 15, 20 years," she continued. "My debut album on a major label — it's a huge thing, and I don't want to just put something out there that's thrown together to have something to sell. That's just not right."

Many of the show's runner-up contestants have released their albums during the fourth quarter in order to capitalize on holiday shoppers. Stay tuned.
