It's hard not to notice how OBVIOUS the show makes it that they want Lee to win. How many times do they have to mention how he is a struggling musician who needs a break? Umm...hello...that's EVERY CONTESTANT this show has ever seen. Duh. That story is boring. Not to mention how the show gives Casey James a terrible John Mayer song last week while Lee DeWyze gets a great song like Hallelujah accompanied with choir members and lighting. Really?
If America votes the best SINGER (which they should do) as the next American Idol, it should be Crystal. Period.
Please dude last night I was cringing at how hard they were trying to make Crysal win. Yes she's spectacular, but the judges were helping her hardcore.
1. The judges all gave backhanded compliments to Lee "you were amazing, but"
Crystal got all praise
2. Crystal performed second
3. At the end when showing the recap, they showed three of Lee's performances and then three of Crystal's so they were fresh in the head.
4. The winner's single for Crystal was so much better. She got an obscure song that took a lot of range and a great voice to sing. When Lee got a good song, but not for somebody trying to win a singing competition.
I've been voting for Lee since the start. While I agree that Crystal outshown him last night... I still think he's a better overall artist. I think she has great talent but isn't as marketable. I would not buy any of her singles. She's just not my style. I think Lee would do better on the long run.
That being said... They both have enormous talent. I'm happy either way.

Dialidols prediction. Surprise.[/QUOTE]
Is it a surprise because Lee is winning or because of the pretty big difference in their scores? It's been obvious that Lee was going to win for weeks imo.
[QUOTE=andrewsz1991;179343]I don't think so Crystal got high praise last night, and Crystal has been the frontrunner since the first week.[/QUOTE]
She was a front runner in the very beginning of the competition, but all of the judges have been saying Lee will win for at least a little bit now - she was definitely the underdog going into the finale imo.
[QUOTE=jake93;179457]I'm hoping Crystal wins. IMO, she's much more deserving.[/QUOTE]
I agree with you, I feel like she really deserves this. I know that her chances are pretty slim, though.
[QUOTE=Insider;179465]I wonder which member of the think tank decided to bring on Hall and Oates. I mean, they were my obvious first choice... but still...[/QUOTE]
Umm, Hall & Oates are the bomb. These AI tween girls need to learn a thing or two about amazing musicians like those two. Seriously though, I'm only half kidding.

Who else are they bringing on as guests tonight? Any good pairings yet, like when they had Adam Lambert perform with Queen?
Glad Lee won even though i finally started to like Crystal towards the end of the season.
I think Crystal sounded great with Alanis last night. But the best part of the show was Casey and Bret Michaels that was just awesome.
I didn't like the Alanis bit mostly because Crystal sounded horrible compared to her. Also Bret sounded rough but that's to be expected given his recent circumstances.
Really? I thought Crystal sounded fantastic with Alanis...possibly even better than her.
I was hoping for a Crystal win, but I'm OK with Lee winning. They were the only 2 that really stood out this year anyway and I could have predicted since March that they'd be the final 2. They'll both have great careers.
