AI9: And the winner is…

Lee Dewyze!

Congrats to Lee and especially to all the fans that voted for him.

But, what a shock!  Gotta say I absolutely don’t get it.  Especially hearing him sing his “Winner’s Song” (Beautiful Day).

While the confetti rained down he hit not one single note in key.  Lee isn't my choice, but I subscribe to the wisdom of Randy Jackson: "America always gets it right".

America always gets the Idol that they want. 19E will get behind both these musicians once they are launched they will stand or fall on their own.

Congratulations to all of Lee's fans. Celebrate! You worked hard for Lee and you made it happen for him. And ultimately, that's what Idol is about. The contestants just sing, but it's the fans that battle it out. And you guys did it!

For Crystal's fans - (and I'm speaking to myself here as well) don't look for scapegoats. We had the same four hours to vote as Lee's fans. Did we do enough? It was our responsibility to get her to the top, and we (not Crystal) didn't make it.

Look for a post mortem later in the week.

Ric Brennan... I came across your name today in an old contact list of mine. You haven't posted anything since May, so I'm wondering if this blog is abandoned. I hope not. I hope you get this note and we can reconnect. BTW, I'm glad Lee won and would have been happy with either outcome. ~Donna Taglieri (You may remember me as Peacock)
