"Rankings - Finale - Top 2"
LAST EDITED ON 05-25-10 AT 10:27 PM (EST)

I sat on this for an hour. I have to say that was perhaps the most boring and disappointing Idol finales ever. I was really let down tonight. I expected Lee to come out guns a'blazing. I was expecting some surprise finale-worthy song choices. Hmm. On to the rankings

1) Crystal - On The Mountain - I have to say I hated the song. What a terrible pick for a first single. As my wife said 'What radio station is ever going to play that song?' and I agree. On the other hand, Crystal sang the $@&* out of that song. Well done.
2) Lee - Beautiful Day - I have to say I was impressed with how Lee handled this song unlike the judges. His best of the night. I wanted more of this from him.
3) Crystal - Me & Bobby McGee - I was hoping she would bring back the 'Leave A LIght On' song, but this was my #2 pick and she did it well.
4) Crystal - Black Velvet - Terrible song choice for Crystal in my opinion, but she did the best she could with it. Its not her vibe, but obviously she didn't pick it.
5) Lee - Everybody Hurts - Good song choice, but he unfortunately didn't bring it. This song offered him some chances that he didn't take, sadly.
6) Lee - The Boxer - Good song, pretty good vocals, but overall a dreadfully dull performance. Shake it up a bit, it is the finale.

I don't know who is going ot win, and honestly, I don't have a preference. I like both of these finalists, and in the end does it matter who wins? I was just disappointed with the finale overall. Not the contestants.

Looking forward to a new and fresher American Idol 10. You?

ETA: I posted this, and then decided to come back and add an opinion. In the grand scheme of things, it DOES matter who wins and who comes in second if you are fans and want to see a record that reflects who you are a fan of.

In that respect, I hope Lee DeWyze wins tomorrow and Crystal comes in second. Lee will fit the record that the traditional Idol winner makes much more so that Crystal.

I've been on the Crystal train since auditions and have never disembarked. But, I think for Crystal to make a true Crystal Bowersox record, she can't win. If she wins, they will steer her more toward pop and we'll see what we saw in 'Black Velvet', and that was NOT Crystal Bowersox. We would have to wait for her 2nd/3rd CD to see the true Crystal. That is, if she is allowed to make a 2nd/3rd CD.....

1. "RE: Rankings - Finale - Top 2"

I agree with your opinion. My thoughts are that Lee was scared to death. Yes he wants it...but he is so darn nice, I think he is afraid of taking the limelight away from Crystal. All of the contestants this year, seem to be very tight. And I think they all really love Crystal.

With that, I think Lee allowed his feelings for beating Crystal play out in his vocals. When he relaxed and enjoyed himself, he did much better.

I think that Crystal was going to have a career in music no matter what...yes, this has stepped it up a huge step. But Lee be very commerical for label and will do a great job.

I think they both will sell more records than 95% of the other finalists.

2. "RE: Rankings - Finale - Top 2"
Here are my rankings:

1. Crystal Bowersox "On the Mountain" -- this was her moment!

2. Crystal Bowersox "Black Velvet" -- better than Nikki McKibbin's version -- and a lot of other ones!

3. Crystal Bowersox "Me and Bobby McGhee" -- started off slow but she really rocked it at the end!

4. Lee DeWyze "Beautiful Day" -- his best song but not quite as good as the worst one Crystal did.

5. Lee DeWyze "Everybody Hurts" -- better than his first song, not quite as good as his final one.

6. Lee DeWyze "The Boxer" -- I liked the song the first time he did it. I didn't like it here. Bad song choice for the finale.
