I know its been said over and over again and I'm beating a dead horse but, worst season ever.

I'm hoping Lee wins because he's my favorite but the title's Crystals.

I don't think it can be said enough. I'll call it beating a dead horse when idol actually dies. Not many shows can have their ratings plummet to what they were when no one knew them and have their chances of renewal looking good.

Mike's gone. About time. Wonder how it must feel knowing you were bad enough to be eliminated twice?

I can see the reason for choosing this. It will be easier for Lee to fit it to his - I use this term VERY loosely - singing.
 
Tim Urban already sang “Hallelujah” earlier in this season. Why not get some fresh songs on there? :##:
 
Lee was great tonight. He owned the stage. He seems so much more confident (not cocky -- confident) than he was earlier this season and he's definitely in the zone. His progression has been interesting to watch. His performance of "Hallelujah" was one of the best performances of the season, IMO.

Casey was ho-hum. Randy and Kara sabotaged him with that terrible song choice, but then again, Casey's own song choice wasn't much better. Still, I'm glad Simon called Randy and Kara on making him sing such a snoozy tune.

Crystal was just alright.
 
This is the first time EVER I thought Lee was actually brilliant (on both performances) and also the first time I've actually you-tubed his performance after the show. Casey was boring on both, Crystal was boring on the first one and terrific on the second.

Based solely on tonight, I can't disagree that Lee earned his spot in the finals. However, I resent that he's being touted as the front-runner when Crystal is the only contestant who has delivered a consistent level of excellent performances, and should thus be rewarded with the crown.

Casey...it's been nice knowing you.
 
Ok, so the bus arrived and Casey was thrown under it, not even given a chance with the song choice. They want him gone, they want it bad, and they no longer give a damn what they do to make it happen.

As for Lee, nothing but a picture could adequately describe me watching that. "Stunning" Ellen put it. OF COURSE it is stunning when he gets an f-ing choir marching out in black between the screens showing whatever white imaging for contrast to back him up. It is also blatant pimping of one contestant over the other two.

And, is it just me, or are the judges now throwing blessed Crystal under the bus? All of a sudden the show is about Lee and no one else. He is what the show is about, heart of the season, blah blah blah. Crystal is probably the one stunned that even when doing what the judges wanted she's not their pick anymore. She was their original choice for such comments, now she's like the older child no longer perfect because a newborn came along and now that newborn is the amazing one and suddenly her flaws show.

They favored Lee tonight, they were sending a clear message to America and shameless pimping was the language.

And I highly doubt this one performance makes him a fantastic singer. Do people really buy an album for one song?

Ugh....all that said I still don't think I can adequately convey my feeling about what happened on that stage. I've seen the judges be shameless before, but a new level was reached.

You're right. Though nothing yet has surpassed the sabotage of 2008 when they gave poor Syesha the unknown song from "Happy Feet"...a movie about fucking penguins.

Oh yeah, didn't the producers do that to her? A level even higher than the judges...
 
^^ I think you're right. Yeah. The producers don't even TRY to hide their sabotage lol.
 
American Idol will never be able to live down how horribly they screwed Syesha Mercado! What the fuck was she going to do with that song? It's basically one long chorus.

But Lee Dewyze is officially the front runner now thanks to Simon Cowell completely stealing Alexandra Burke's version of 'Hallelujah'. It's a little sickening now that I think about it. But I understand why Simon did it. And to me, it makes the rest of the judges look really sub-par. It was a smart move on Simon's part.

But let's face it, Simon's always picked the best songs for the contestants he gets. He picked 'Over The Rainbow' for Kat way back when. Even helped her with the arrangement.
 
I was pulling for Casey. He didn't stand a chance.
 
I'm gonna miss Casey's lovely face & body. . . and the way his ass fills a pair of snug jeans. . . <sigh>

Lee's is probably selling much better than Crystal on iTunes. Crystal is not commercial. The folk/blues/rock genre is not selling as well as pop-rock.

oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...I remember that...I didn't really care for Syesha but even then I thought that was just wrong to give her that song

anyways, back to the hippie vs john mayer-lite...this whole season smells just like Taylor Hicks....soon to be forgotten
 
I don't really think that this would be a Taylor Hicks incident... Lee has commercial potential, but I still hope Crystal would win.

I dont think Crystal was thrown under the bus, she wasn't just as impressive as her first few weeks...
