“American Idol” Recap: Crystal Bowersox outsang Lee DeWyze in last night’s final but is it enough to win?

It must be awfully nice to win but both Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze have an excellent opportunity to become big stars.
Based on last night’s performances, Crystal deserves to win, hands down. She soared when she needed to the most and really stepped up – especially on that glorious final number Up to the Mountain. God, I just loved that! Also wonderful was her opening Me and Bobby McGee the second song, Black Velvet.
Lee, however, has a huge voting block and the buzz seems to favor him. I love his voice – especially when he has pitch problems! His second song, Everybody Hurts, was his best of the night. The judges panned The Boxer but I liked it just fine but not so much his final number Beautiful Day.
I love ‘em both and look forward to buying their first CDs.
They have both handled themselves so well all season long, they have a certain authenticity that will serve them well as they embark on what will be terrific careers.
