WATCH IT: Crystal Bowersox "Farmer's Daughter"

While you might associate the typical American Idol single as something on the level of a treacly greeting card, this debut track from 2010 runner-up Crystal Bowersox is unlikely to get much play on Mother's Day since it's essentially an autobiographical and angry kiss-off to an unfit mother from a newly liberated daughter. Director Meiert Avis nevertheless finds a heart in this, creating a visual motif that borrows the idea behind "Undone (The Sweater Song)" and transforms it into a metaphor in which Bowersox takes the lessons from her own upbringing to make herself a better mom to her own kid. --> watch "Farmer's Daughter"
