So, do we get another cute guy with a guitar as our Idol? No. I think Crystal Bowersox has this locked up.
As I wrote the other day, each contestant came into the night with positives and negatives. Crystal has a full season of strong performances, but some people find her unlikeable. Lee has been surging during the last three weeks so he has momentum on his side; but some people hear an awful lot of out-of-tune singing.
My conclusion was that both fan bases were strong, so a lot was riding on who performed better last night. Crystal, in particular, was in the best shape to take advantage of a great performance night – but that only mattered if she could deliver the goods.
I think she did. Her first two songs were very good – better than what Lee put out there. But it was her last song that I think really sold her as an artist. I think she convinced enough people to go to the phones for her.
If Lee wins, on the other hand, it will mean that his fan base was so strong that he could overcome Crystal’s performance surge and his own lackluster singing and personality. That would really be sad.
We’ll see what happens. Who do you think will take the title?
