Lee DeWyze is our American Idol. It’s truly amazing watching someone like you grow and mature, not only as a singer, but as a person. You have inspired many people. It’s incredible watching the fans support you. We even received a dress up game moments after your win, which is actually spot on!
It’s the finale tonight on American Idol and both Lee and Crystal sang 3 songs…Lee sang The Boxer once more that he originally sang a few weeks ago and then took on the REM classic Everybody Hurts and finished with U2’s Beautiful Day.
Tonight the judges picked a song for each of the top 3 contestants and the top 3 each had their own personal chioce. Lee chose to sing Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd and the judges chioce was Hallelujah. Lee BLEW the judges out of the water with both of his songs!
