I didn't think his last song was that bad. But he definitely has something going on. I feel bad. It really makes this night kinda boring.

This may explain it. Stumbled on this story looking for DWTS info lol. Sounds like they both had a LOUSY rehearsal. Maybe it got to him. Hope she remembers the words. http://www.hollywoodnews.com/2010/05/25/crystal-bowersox-and-lee-dewyzes-tempers-rise-during-rehearsal/ dang hope that isn't too long want to go hear her sing. A diff song "Up to the Mountain" I don't know it.

I read that as a spoiler earlier and wondered how that would play out tonight.

I just realized that Lee didn't play the guitar in his last song. Wonder if that was his choice.

I must say, I won't buy either of those songs. Crystal won the night, hands down. This is my least favorite final night of all the seasons. That said though, Crystal's voice has been impressive all season and she has worked for the win.

Crystal's last song, Patty Griffin's "Up to the Mountain" -- Kelly Clarkson performed it a few years ago on Idol Gives Back. It's beautiful, haunting, and if Crystal does it justice, she will have a home run! (I'm in Cali, haven't seen the show yet, but I love that song.)

LOL so you agree he blew it too Maine?? I'm really shocked by tonight. He had all the momentum and I thought he had it. But it was actually sad to see how he choked. But on the other hand Crystal sang her heart out. Hope he doesn't beat himself up forever over it. Then again, you never can be sure how the voting will go, or if it will be based on performance.

I like both Crystal and Lee. I'm sure, regardless of the outcome, both will get recording contracts, and I will more than likely buy both of their albums.

Oh I know why I didn't post it..I had another thought and forgot it after I went to change over to DWTS. It was to totally agree w/Mak! We went into this finale with it lacking the excitement of years past and sadly they did nothing to change that. I do think that Lee fell apart though, and Crystal hit it out of the park. But compared to other years it was a yawn. I still want to know if the clips are from dress rehearsal because unless my ears have lost it Lee sounded MUCH better in them, and Crystal not as great. But then they flipped during the show. Am I right??

Crystal took the evening and loved her last song. The mini-choir throughout most (all?) of the performances was annoying and distracting.

Lurk - those phone # clips are always from dress rehearsal. They have been for 9 seasons.

a HA!!! Thanks Bonza. So that is interesting then huh? I really wasn't sure, but based on the vocals it just sounded SO different. Lee was SOOO much better in rehearsal. WOW he really did choke. Conversely, she sounded MUCH better I thought. Interesting and kind of sad (for Lee). But I do agree...I liked Crystal and had assumed Lee was winning (now not so sure) and I was ok w/that thinking they both would do well and she might do better w/out being THE Idol. But the title really doesn't matter that much anymore.

Lurk, I don't think Lee did that bad. Right off the bat, the judges slammed him for The Boxer. He sang it better than the first time, but they said it was sleepy and he needed to come out and blow them away. How do you do that with a repeat song? IMO he didn't get a great producer's choice. Not a song you can really wow them with. The "album song" is never good that I can remember from past seasons. So,if your going by judges responses tonight, Crystal will win. After listneing to the recap, I thought they both did good.

Sometimes there are big differences of the rehearsal clips to the final performance. I'll look for that tonight, Lurk.... in a few hours.. lol

Lurk, you may be right. After watching the recaps, I was thinking Lee wasn't so bad and Crystal sounded off. Hmmmm

Sorry but with a big hug I respectfully heard something different Mainie. I thought he sounded REALLY good in the recap. But during the show I thought he was pitchy, nervous, all over the place and just not great. A couple of times he almost pulled it together, but then he'd lose it again. Well it's subjective, so maybe others will hear what you heard. The good news is I truly think both of them will get great careers out of this!

Now you see what I mean!!! LOLOL Bonza, it was a big enough difference it made me say "he didn't sound like that" followed by "she didn't sound like that" followed by "OH YEAH they tape that earlier don't they." LOL then followed by my confirming that here lolol.

I DVRed the show and will go back and watch to see. I feel bad that Lee didn't come across as good but I don't think it will matter. They both will put out an album.
