Lee Dewyze is the next American Idol
We have a winner and it isn’t Crystal Bowersox. Lee Dewyze won the night on American Idol and will record “Beautiful Day” as his first single. I must say I’m happy with the results. I know there are a lot of Crystal fans out there and you shouldn’t worry, she will record an album as well.
Tonight was a long one for the finale and it was full of surprises. Alice Cooper showed up to rock the house with the top 12 and Orianthi jamming on the guitar. It is about time we got a true rocker on the show. I mean this guy is a legend. He was doing heavy metal before there was heavy metal lol. His international fame spans almost 5 decades and he can still rock it.
I didn’t see the need for the Bee Gees or Hall and Oates. I mean these guys are way past their prime and while they were awesome in their day, that day is past. I thought Idol could have gotten some more current entertainers for Simon’s last show.
I liked Crystal with Alanis Morisette even though I see her more as a Melissa Etheridge type singer but Etheridge couldn’t perform due to a contract she signed with DWTS saying she couldn’t sing on this season of idol. Hmmm is DWTS a little jealous or what? I don’t see what the big deal is and why it was necessary to have her sign that kind of a contract. Talk about going to extremes and hating another show lol.
Idol producers thought it would be something for Lee to sing a medley with Chicago since he is from Chicago and I’m sure Lee was thinking WTF after Crystal got Alanis but now he’s stuck with TPTB at least for a year.
Casey James got the best performer of the night. He came out singing “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and I was thinking is he about to sing with Poison without Bret or what. I never thought Bret would be there but by God, he came out jamming and it was awesome. I love me some Bret! I had posters all over my room of him when I was a teenager lol. How much better could it get to have Casey and Bret sing on stage together. Here is the video of their song.
Even though Lee Dewyze was crowned the winner and Crystal Bowersox is the runner up, mark my words, Casey James will be the one to make it big.
How did you like the finale tonight?

Casey and Bret were simply amazing. The contrast with Lee performing with Chicago just after Casey was vast. I never understood why the judges had it in for him.

Ashli..WOW! Now THAT’s a finale blog! To answer your question, I didn’t watch the finale, so I can’t really say if I liked it or not…but I CAN tell you this..after reading your blog, I wish I WOULD have seen it! Adding that video clip rocks!
This is the kind of thing I talk about when I mention these blogs as another, separate part of reality tv! You’re kickin some ass once again girl!
I thought the Bret and Casey thing WAS the highlight, no doubt…except, I’m wondering if Bret isn’t pushing things a bit soon! He’s got an album and tour coming up…that seems a bit much for a guy who’s had the health scares he’s had lately!
I agree about Casey! I don’t know if he’ll be more successful than Crystal, because she’s going to have a pretty big major label push coming up here..think Adam Lambert, but the folk, 60’s version instead…lol..
I’ve been saying since day one, when YOU convinced me to watch the show, that Casey had star potential! His talent is obvious but yes you’re right, he probably will be successful..that’s why when people were saying, “It’s Casey’s time to go tonight”…when there were still like 6-7 people left…I’m like WHAT?
He could very well have won this thing! For sure!
Lee, although he seems like a nice guy probably won’t do anything too ground breaking in music…think of some of the past winners that we don’t hear about much anymore..I’m still waiting for the Reuben story about how they had to cut him out of his house…LOL JK
Fantasia? NOT so fantastic after all..so winning AI almost seems like the thing NOT to do anymore..I can tell you that’s the thinking behind the scenes, from the people IN the music industry!
So yeah…GREAT Job Ash! Another AWESOME finale blog! It’s getting to the point where I don’t even wanna watch these shows without your input to go along with it! LOL..With the show itself AND the blogs? It’s like a cyber Reese’s peanut butter cup! LOL…they go GREAT together!
Keep it rockin!
BTW, I too was a Poison fan back in the day! I even got “Look what the cat dragged in” playing as my song on myspace today..lol

I love the finale because of Bret and Casey’s duets. The best duets of the night. They sounded great together. What an awesome performance of the night. Casey looks more of a winner compared to the two finalists.
