i loved his performance. i pegged him as the winner from his audition. i thought the bagpipe idea was creative, and it flowed with the song. he's unique, its a shame you dont hear too much from a lot of these A.I winners.
@marshmallow200 Oh really better than The Beatles who have a platinum record for this song, better than Sir Paul McCartney who is a 13 time grammy award winner. Oh wait last time i checked Paul McCartney sang this song to sold out crowds all over the world since he wrote the song when he was in The Beatles who by the way are the best band of all time yeah this guy is clearly better.
@marshmallow200 are you kidding????? better than the original. obviously you watch too much of these talent shows to think that he did this better than mccartney. Granted he has a great voice... but really???
@scottymclover yeah but Lee's album flopped, he's barely sold 100,000 copies in a year. he's the lowest selling idol winner ever :\ and his singles flopped too. apparently he's on tour but he's unable to fill 500 seats. i dont know why ppl vote for these artists if they arent gonna buy their albums
@melirose89 Wow, worse than Tyler Hicks?...Lee has a good voice, I think it's the economy...People don't have money to waste on entertainment when they're just trying to keep a roof over their head and feed themselves.
@umouthingme yeah Taylor Hicks isnt even the lowest selling Idol & yet he gets the worst rap, he sold about 700,000 copies of his 1st album, which would be considered fantastic 2day. The lowest selling is Lee with 100,000 copies of his album, then Kris Allen from season 8 who sold about 350,000 copies of his album.Lees first week sales were 39,000, right up William Hung's first week's sales & right below Tamyra Gray Lol...I think its more than just the economy. I just think ppl find him boring.
i LOVE LEE AND I LOVE AMERIAN IDOL, THESE SINGERS ARE A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THE POP ARTIST OUT THERE THAT DON'T EVEN TRY ANYMORE; THEIR PRODUCERS DO IT ALL/// ON AI, THEY ARE RAW AND AMAZING!
He's great but not exactly fantastic...:/ I don't know. I liked it. I'm glad that someone won who wasn't one of those pitch perfect generic singers and he actually has a unique voice.
Lee is a pretty good singer but i felt as if this song wasn't his best, he seemed very off tune on some of the parts in the beggining espically the very start when he sings "Hey Jude' but hey who am I to judge I can't sing half as good as he can.
@S0ulWrought its not the notes that matter the tune and how well he sings it it what matters! PLUS! NOBODY can sing as amazingly as Sir Paul McCartney!!
in a way Lee was the most charming man of the season, not cuz he was the best looking but because he was so humble yet quirky @ the same time :) and that little half-smile he does ...ohhh gosh it makes my heart melt <3

Do you guys realize, if this guy one this competition (and he's pretty good) how much Paul McCartney would OBLITERATE it? Listen to McCartney when he's leading into the "NA NA NA" part. Lee couldn't pull it off. But Paul goes absolutely insane.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This version of "Hey Jude" was truly hideous. Way to make one of the best songs of all time sound like absolute crap! Look how bored everyone in the audience looks as he is singing. He has absolutely no stage presence of charisma and his voice is often painful to listen to.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@AITalker123 Haha. No, I'm a guy. Finally someone else who shares the same views that I do about this talentless douche. He'll have his 15 minutes of fame once his album comes out and then just fade away just like all the others with the exception to Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson who are really talented and deserve their success.
Not bad, but not great either...sorry to hear that his single is not doing so well in sales...maybe it's because he's cocky and too full of himself...GO CASEY--the real talent!
This performance was incredibly fantastic. The thing about Lee's performances is they are fantastic when you watch him originally perform them. But as you listen back to the videos, you realize just how stunningly amazing this guy's talent is. Awesome!
the bagpipes were really LOL. :D they were awesome though. i hope people vote for lee and crystal and then there would be a tie. :) they both deserve the title. :D
It's like he's trying not to crack up...knowing the bagpipe was coming! Lee's got an endearing sense of humor! And his voice is the best this season! Lee FTW!
i love Lee! If only I can vote (I'm from the Philippines), I will definitely vote for Lee Dewyze! He will win this season! Super cute, nice personality and great, husky, unique voice!
He has that Joe Cocker raspy type voice. I personally liked the bag pipes. They were unique. Simon is from England, so he probably was making a crack with his rude comments.
i agree with kara 2day top 5 that you'll definitely win the title. GO FOR IT! Choose the right song and render your best and most unique style. I know you have that confidence. from the Philippines!
The FILIPINOS are addicted to american idol so much, that most of us wish we could VOTE :) imma root for LEE AND CRYSTAL --- :) hahahah --from PHiL too
Lee can sing it very current.. he's an artist w0w... i can feel the message of the song.. so beautiful.. LEE is AMERICAL IDOL I MEAN ^^: From PHiLLIPINES^^
I thought the bagpipes were awsome!!! Lee is way cool!!!! And I'm really glad he is still in the running! I don't think he can beat Crystal but he will get a contract for sure!!
lee will sing the winning piece of american idol please american people... unite and vote for lee dewyze he is deserving to win the title of american idol... Filipinos love him so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
He took a sad song and made it better!! I liked the song before but love it now, what a voice and style, Looks a bit like mel gibson also that doesnt hurt at all. What a enjoyable performance. GO LEE
Love Lee's voice.. so rough and sexy... I can't wait to hear the recording version!! (so I don't get distracted by the bagpiper)... lol What a funny moment on Idol! Sometimes this is what the show needs.. a bit of fun.. sometimes it is too serious! Na.. naaaa nanananaaaa... Na.. nanna.. naaaaaaaaa
I don't get how the judges didn't like the bagpipes. The bagpipes made my day when I watched this episode.
