American Idol – Final 2
Tonight is the last time we vote, I’m torn between being glad this season is over and being sad that it’s the last of Simon & American Idol. Crystal won the coin toss last week and chose to sing last so here we go with three songs from each contestant.
- Lee DeWyze – repeat – The Boxer ~ Simon and Garfunkel – I liked this but it really was better the first time around, I think his nerves are getting the better of him.
- Crystal Bowersox – repeat – Me and Bobby McGee ~ Janis Joplin – She is so fabulous doing this song, it really fits her and her style, great choice for a repeat performance.
- Lee DeWyze – producer’s choice – Everybody Hurts ~ R.E.M. – He just missed really grabbing a hold of that and running with it. I’m not sure he can shakes the nerves tonight.
- Crystal Bowersox – producer’s choice – Black Velet ~ Allanah Myles – I love this song, but Crystal seems a tiny bit screechy on it, and she really looks uncomfortable in that dress and heels combo.
- Lee DeWyze – first single – Beautiful Day ~ U2 – I’m not sure what I think of a U2 cover being his coronation single, it wasn’t horrific, but there were no chills moments either. Guess I’m a cheesey coronation song girl, just give me magic rainbows and I’ll be happy.
- Crystal Bowersox – first single – Up To The Mountain ~ Patty Griffin – Wow, that was really beautiful and she was so there and in it, a fantastic performance. I’m just not sure if this is a great coronation song, who picked these this year.
- Round 1: Crystal
- Round 2: Lee
- Round 3: Crystal
Crystal earned the win tonight but I think they are both popular with the fans and who takes it is anyone’s guess. I’ll be content either way, I never really got solidly behind anyone, so there’s no chance of me being disappointed. Looking forward to tomorrow’s festivities.
