LEE DEWYZE is the new American Idol winner!! It was just matter of time, the result did not surprise me much even though Crystal sang way better on the finale. But i am sure there are more girls out there voting than the guys, and Lee isn't a bad looking dude, so that helps a lot. Congratulations to you once again Lee and great job Crystal, you both are well deserved finalist! Nonetheless i think this year the fans have voted quite well, not much surprise except when Big Mike got voted off at week 8 if i'm not wrong? He got saved in the end anyway, shocker ! hahah :P
Not only we say good bye to American Idol season 9, but it is also Simon Cowell's final show. I think it's gonna be a tough order to find a replacement, he is known to be the "evil" judge but truth to be told, 99% of the contestants would love to hear his comments and actually base their performance more on what he says rather than the other 3 (except maybe Kara, AT times) Randy's comments are just pure pitchy dawg. The show did an amazing farewell show for him, and he definitely felt very emotional hahah, gonna miss him and his love hate relationship with Ryan Seacrest on the show lol. But we definitely wont see the last of Simon, as he has many other shows to judge.
