Here’s Lee and Crystal’s initial Auditions. We never saw there during the audition rounds, correct? It is interesting that these two had a combined audition footage, though not shown on the show, it was prepared that way.

Crystal Bowersox said she knew she wasn’t going to win long before Ryan Seacrest announced Lee DeWyze as the winner of American Idol 2010. For Bowersox, however, there really is no loser on American Idol this season. » Read more: Crystal Bowersox on Lee DeWyze as American Idol: We Both Win
All season long, it’s seemed like American Idol was pulling for Lee DeWyze to win — then producers permitted the 24-year-old former paint salesman to sing U2′s “Beautiful Day” on the final competition episode. It’s a song Bono — one of the greatest rock frontmen ever — has performed with tear-jerking, inspiring flair at the post-9/11 Super Bowl and Live 8. It’s one of the most passionate songs in the band’s catalog. And it was a misstep that may have cost DeWyze the victory, especially since Crystal Bowersox stepped up and nailed her pick, Patty Griffin’s “Up to the Mountain.” » Read more: Bowersox Overpowers DeWyze on ‘American Idol’ Finals
Per MJ’s:
Clues for Lee DeWyze’s songs (this spoiler has never been wrong):
Song #1: “He is going to be put into a rink and fight it out or he doesn’t have to think outside the box for this song”
Song #2: “Everybody might hurt after this song.”
Song #3: “He might have an awful day.”
“The third song they are both singing. However it was not a song just written for them. It did play a big part in American Idols past.”
Vocal coach, Debra Byrd says the coronation songs will be different: VIDEO
So, For Lee:
The Boxer, Everybody Hurts and Bad Day. Correct?
Simon was on the Ellen Show today and once again, predicted a Lee DeWyze win.
For those who place their “American Idol” winner bets based on the wisdom of cantankerous judge Simon Cowell, let it be known that the cagey Brit has placed his odds on late-season favorite Lee DeWyze. » Read more: American Idol: Watch Simon Cowell on The Ellen Show
You hear it every year: The top-two finalists on “American Idol” are really close pals and neither cares who wins the competition. They said it last year with Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, who roomed together and genuinely seemed to be pulling for and supporting each other, and it appears to be the case again this year with Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox. » Read more: ‘American Idol’ Coin Toss Shows Crystal And Lee’s Bond, Friend Says
Okay. So we all got spoiled by last year’s blockbuster season of “American Idol,” particularly the championship battle between two amazing singers – Kris Allen and Adam Lambert.
Those two guys could turn almost any song, old or new, rock or R&B, into a fresh-sounding tune worthy of radio play.
This season we got stuck with a less talented pool of semi-finalists, which resulted in a less talented pool of finalists. Which means. . . two duds will be battling it out for the Idol crown? » Read more: Are Lee and Crystal among the best, or worst, finalists in ‘American Idol’ history?
Simon Cowell tells Ellen DeGeneres on her show today that yes, he is “feeling a bit sad” about wrapping up nine years on American Idol.
“I am feeling a bit sad because we’re nearly there, but at the same time do you remember sort of that last three weeks when you were leaving school and you kind of couldn’t wait to get out. It’s a little bit like that. It’s kind of exciting. I’m not being ungrateful. I’ve had a fantastic time and the show changed my life but I just kind of knew it was time to do something different.” » Read more: Simon Cowell makes his ‘Idol’ winner prediction
