Jimmy1104 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2010 For weeks I have been saying Crystal will be this year's American Idol while thinking Lee would be a close second. Last night my thoughts changed on that matter. When the final twelve were chosen I thought there were better choices than Lee. Every week this guy has just gotten better and better. Simple Man was brilliant as well as his arrangement of Hallelujah. I think it is now Crystal that needs to catch up if she still wants to win this thing.

_Laurie_ 9 Report post Posted May 19, 2010 My thoughts exactly Jimmy....and as for Casey, he's just okay to me...I'm surprised he got this far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky 5 Report post Posted May 19, 2010 Lee will win the whole ball of wax .... MamaSox will probably get herself a nice career out of it. They are both that good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 21 Report post Posted May 20, 2010 They sold Casey up the river by making him sing Daughters while Lee got Hallelujah. That's not fair. Yes, Lee did a great job, but he had a string section, a smoke machine and 8 backup singers. I think they're positioning Lee to win this thing, and I'm guessing he will.

Shawna 1 Report post Posted May 20, 2010 That thought was trying to form in my mind, too. It wasn't quite clear, but reading these posts makes me lean in that direction. By the same token, they all got to choose their own songs for the first one, and Casey chose one that didn't have much oomph power. I don't think he's really got the passion to be a big-time performer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky 5 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) I agree, it sure seems as though Lee got the push. I don't think Casey had the talent to make it though. Edited May 21, 2010 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miamisammy29 4 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 Actually, the "flamboyant one" does have a hit song out now (can't remember the name), and it's actually not that bad. I've heard much worse. I'm gonna guess he didn't write it himself, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tenacious_Peaches 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 The flamboyant one? As a lifelong fan of the flamboyants, I don't know whether to be offended or not. Here is Crystal at 13. You can tell at such a young age how talented she is. I really don't think it matters at this point who actually wins. The both of them have a shot of having post-Idol success.

Lucky 5 Report post Posted May 22, 2010 Exactly. While there have been some real stinkers come out of Idol there have been some huge careers launched as well, win or lose. Crystal & Lee both have a great shot at success, and that's the real point I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmy1104 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 After Tuesday night's performances I thought Mamasox may have stolen it right back from Lee. I felt her 3 performances were the strongest with her third, Up To The Mountain being perfect. Lee kind of lost a notch though his performances were good also. I bet my wife a dinner that Crystal came back and will win while she stuck with Lee after having a strange allegiance to Aaron early in the season. I am really not surprised that I lost the bet. Crystal should still have a career of some kind now that she has created the fan base on the show. My only critique for her is she should lay off the screaming so much. After a while the songs feel redundant. As for Lee, I will take a listen to his first album when it comes out. I am really not sure how popular he will be but I am sure he will fair better than Stoddard or Hicks have. Also, is it me or did Lee and Crystal sound good together in their few duets?
