A lot was shock when the singer from Illinois, Lee DeWyze, won and was declared as the winner of the 9th Season of American Idol. Despite his drastically worse performances than Crystal Bowersox with songs "Everybody Hurts" and "Beautiful day," the 24 year old singer was voted by America. According to some articles "it'll be hard for Lee to stand on his own, when his first single is Beautiful Day, a song once sung by the incomparable Bono. Maybe he'll need to hire more bagpipers?" Lee is set to release his album later this year, and he'll have to work harder to prove to the rest of America who did not vote for him that he deserves the top spot. Crystal Bowersox on the other hand said that she felt like she've already won by making it on the finale. “My whole life has just been a crazy series of good luck and bad luck and amazing coincidences,” Bowersox told The Blade (an online based news-site in Toledo,Ohio). “I believe in fate. No matter what happens, I plan on working in this industry and pursuing music and just sticking to it.” Starting July 1st DeWyze and Bowersox are set to hit the road for American Idol Tour together with the other top 10 finalists.Related articles : Crystal Bowersox: 'I feel like I've already won' Lee DeWyze name American Idol

This is one of the few seasons where amazing artists were being introduced to us. For this season of American Idol,there were some unique artists performed on the stage(like Lilly Scott who is undeniably great!), they searched for artists and now that they have those people which is rare, they did not still make it to the show. What's happening with America? I think what made Lee won was the voter's demographic of the show which are female tweens. Lee was been good all throughout the season but it was Crystal Bowersox who made the show more exciting. You could say that she's the Winner of American Idol every time she performs. America voted again for another recycled mainstream voice and not for the unique, original artist. This season's result was totally upsetting for me. Guess we don't know what the America is looking for.
