Lee DeWyze, American Idol Season 9 winner

Lee DeWyze has just won in the finale of American Idol Season 9, held Wednesday night, May 26, 2010 at the Nokia Theater in L.A. (It was shown here in the Philippines via GMA 7, Thursday morning.)





Lee is a 24-year-old paint salesman from Illinois.

He's considered the dark horse of the competition. He started out not the best contestant but he ended up as the best of them all, beating early favorite Crystal Bowersox, who placed 2nd to him.

Among Lee Dewyze's best performances were when he sang "Hallelujah", "Simple Plan" and "That's Life".

Despite being deserving, Lee Dewyze himself didn't expect to win. When asked by host Ryan Seacrest how he feels as the American Idol Season 9, Lee said, "I don't know. This is amazing. Oh my God! I can't believe it."

This year's finale was a star-studded event as it was also a farewell special for judge Simon Cowell, who will no longer judge in the next season. Performers tonight included Christina Aguilera, Chicago, Bee Gees, Janet Jackson and the surprise of the night Bret Michaels, who has just recovered from brain hemorrhage.

Also there were Season 9's Top 12 contestants (great seeing Tim Urban again) and the past seasons' winners (except for Season 7's David Cook) and finalists. (David Archuleta was among them, but Adam Lambert wasn't there.)

American Idol Finale: Lee Dewyze vs Crystal Bowersox

As expected, Lee Dewyze and Crystal Bowersox will face each other in the grand finale of American Idol Season 9 next week when Casey James got voted off during the last elimination of the season held Wednesday night, May 19th.


It was a highly favored results show as Lee Dewyze and Crystal Bowersox, both 24 years old, are both big favorites in the competition and predicted to be the Final Top 2 of the season.


Now, who's more likely to win American Idol Season 9 on the finale next week? It's actually just fine with me whoever wins between Lee and Crystal as I like both of them. They were 2 of my 5 faves along with Tim Urban, Casey James and Siobhan Magnus.


Both of them have never been in the Bottom 3. Ohio's Crystal was actually the most consistent finalist of the season. Her best performance for me was in April 20 episode when she sang 'People Get Ready'.


As for Illinoi's Lee, he's the man of the moment especially after he performed 'Hallelujah' on Tuesday night, May 18. It was Lee's best performance ever 1 week before the finale, which might be the ultimate deciding factor for voters to choose him over Crystal.
