Finally Who Won American Idol 2010

Posted on 26 May 2010 by Bilal

Finally Who Won American Idol 2010: So who won American Idol 2010? Well the answer to that question might be considered a huge spoiler, because American Idol won't reveal those results until the end of the results show on May 26th. That means that the official results won't hit the internet until around 9:50 p.m. EST (6:50 p.m. PST), but that won't stop the unofficial results from hitting the internet right now. One particular website called Dialidol.com specializes in predicting who will win each season, and they have already predicted who will take home the American Idol 2010 title. Don't believe it? Can't believe it? Well the site has predicted correctly in four out of the last five seasons.

So who won American Idol 2010 according to Dialidol.com? It's none other than Lee DeWyze. If we are to believe their methodology, then it is going to be a clear winner on Wednesday night, and there won't be any debate about who took home the title. So how does Dialidol work? According to their website, they use software that speed dial votes for the contestants, and that software measures how often a busy signal comes through or a vote can be made. Using those statistics they predict week by week who will be going home, and now they have predicted that Lee DeWyze will win American Idol 2010. Will he win? We won't know the exact answer until Wednesday night, but things look pretty good for DeWyze.

American Idol Lee Dewyze Hallelujah

Posted on 19 May 2010 by Bilal

LeeDeWyze-American Idol Lee Dewyze Hallelujah:American Idol’s Lee Dwyze pulled all the tricks out of his sleeve tonight, with a little help from judge Simon Cowell of course. On tonight’s show, May 18th 2010, Dwyze not only looked like a star, but sounded like the next American Idol winner.

Lee DeWyze was anything but a simple man Tuesday night.
The painter from Chicago finally resuscitated a middling season of "American Idol" with a little help from Leonard Cohen, launching himself into the top spot in the second last week of the show.

The 24-year-old started out strong by choosing "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd as his opening number. One of the southern rock band's most famous tunes, it perfectly complimented DeWyze's husky vocals. Randy congratulated DeWyze for finally accepting that he can "win" while Ellen likened him to a lamb who had tured into an impala. Kara said he won round one of the competition while Simon took it a step further and said he "crushed" the competition.

But that was before DeWyze's - and season nine's - moment of enlightenment.

Perhaps feeling the need to leave behind a legacy for his last season on "Idol," Simon chose the gospel tune "Hallelujah" for DeWyze's final song of the night. The most covered of Leonard Cohen's tracks, DeWyze had his work cut out for him. But somehow the former painter managed to turn the soulful folk song into an epic piece of orchestral beauty. Standing front and center in pure white with a black-clad choir and a team of string instruments behind him, DeWyze appeared to be singing to a stadium rather than an "Idol" audience.

At the end of the performance, the crowd stood up and Simon bestowed an "I told you so" look upon his fellow judges. Randy praised Simon for his song choice, while DeWyze appeared to tear up and admit he waffled on the song at first. Ellen called his performance "stunning" and Kara said, quite simply, that he "owned the entire night."

That is not to say Crystal Bowersox was anything to sniff at.

The former front-runner gave it her all with Melissa Etheridge's "Come to My Window," her guitar and harmonica in tow. Surprisingly, the arrangement overpowered the raspy songstress who often dominates the stage with her wild vocals. Despite her shortcomings, Simon said he "respected" Bowersox for never having compromised herself as an artist.

Bowersox really shone when she sang Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed," which Ellen chose for her. Kara said she "showed parts of your voice we haven’t heard before." Simon added that she proved she had soul and may be thanking Ellen next week for putting her in the final round of the competition.

Since he started on the show, Casey James hasn't appeared particularly bothered with winning. It's just as well because he gave another passable performance Tuesday night. Singing "OK, It's Alright with Me" by Eric Hutchinson, James' voice was unwavering and peppy but it just wasn't enough. Simon said it was like a "salad" and that he sounded like "he was busking for a couple of dollars."

The Texan did a lot better with John Mayer's "Daughters," which Kara picked for him. According to his favorite judge, James' audience is "women and girls" and he was able to show his vulnerable side with the performance. Simon tittered like a child about the song's climaxes and despite acceding that James' voice was good, he thought the arrangement was lazy.

Mothers and daughters should prepare themselves; Wednesday night will probably be James' last.

Who Got Voted Off American Idol,American Idol Results

Posted on 26 February 2010 by Bilal

Who Got Voted Off American Idol,American Idol Results: who got voted off American Idol & who went home on American idol. People are bewildered over the American Idol 2010 elimination round one results. They are wondering why the people who looked very promising on the show were axed by the viewers.

Though we haven’t been able to find any extraordinary talent so far on the American Idol, nevertheless Janell Wheeler was one of the people who were very good in their music skills and she was actually among top 2-3 people.

Janell Wheeler’s exit from the American Idol is no less shocking.

He seemed to be a promising talent who could make it it.

A reader says, “Joe should not be going! He was in my top 2 or 3 favorites for the guys last night. What are people voting on?! Must not be vocal skill!”

Another shocked American Idol viewer says, “so shocked at Joe’s elimination!”

Renee says, “Janell Wheeler’s guitar song Hollywood week was one of my very favorites. I would have liked to hear her more”.

John says, I think she (Janell Wheeler) was better than a few others that stayed…Shows you its a popularity contest more than a singing competition

Another reader says, “Joe’s voice was one of the best last night, but his words slurred together so much that we couldn’t figure out what on earth he was singing most of the time. I was surprised that the judges never commented on it. Maybe they could see his mouth to read his lips better”.
