"American Idol runner-up Crystal Bowersox says she is coping well despite splitting with her boyfriend Tony the day before the Fox show&amp;apos;s finale.\r\n&amp;quot;It was bad timing,&amp;quot; she says Friday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s a small town guy, and I don&amp;apos;t blame him for anything.  He&amp;apos;s been amazing.  He&amp;apos;s been my rock through all this, so  ... it&amp;apos;s all right.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe 24-year-old Ohio native, who has a baby from a previous relationship, won&amp;apos;t have time to mourn.\r\nOn Thursday, both she and winner Lee DeWyze signed record deals.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Now the real work begins,&amp;quot; she told UsMagazine.com at the Idol finale Wednesday. &amp;quot;My life is never going to be the same, and I&amp;#x2019;m ready for all of it.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
