I could not be happier right now. Lee has won American Idol and triumphed over yet another judge's pet. This is the 4th year in a row that this has happened and I am happy.
Jordin Sparks slid by the beatboxing favorite Blake Lewis.
David Cook beat the adorable yet boring favorite David Archuleta.
Kris Allen surprisingly crushed the overly praised and obvious favorite Adam Lambert.
And now, Lee DeWyze has beaten Crystal "Mamasox" Bowersox to claim the Season 9 title.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike Crystal. I actually like her a lot. I think she has a neat sound and she is very interesting and unique. However, I like Lee more. He appears to be normal and genuine and he never once looked arrogant and never once gave the impression that the voters needed to know he deserved it. He was a true competitor. I look forward to hearing more from him and I love him to death. I intend to enjoy myself while watching him perform in August.
PS... This is also the 4th year in a row that I have predicted the winner from early in the season. I pegged Lee back in Hollywood week as one we would be watching in the finals. I predicted Kris a winner, or at least a finalist, when he sang "Man in the Mirror" in the Top 36. I said David Cook was one to watch and I said Jordin was going to win when she sang "Broken Wing" during Country Week.
I still got it baby.
