  • i wanna cry<3

    nobody can sing this song better<3

    a-lot of people dont agree and thts ok

    but if you do agree LIKE thiss:)

  • I pretty much knew this guy was gonna win when they had the auditions in Milwaukee,wis

  • SSSsssssssssssooooooooo  Damn Good!

  • This won it for him

  • Get him some water!

  • This guy Kicks ASS!!! I love, Love, Love, love him!!!! Can't wait for his latest to come out!!!!!!! Linzi

  • oh, dear...

    

  • Millions of people watching around the world and camera man falls asleep lol..

  • your amazing'!!!!!!!!!

    

  • He was pretty much the one to beat after treat her like a lady and hey jude but when this came he just won before he even did :)

  • He did absolute justice to the song.....YOU CAN'T ARGUE ON THAT !!

  • I always have chills when i hear lee singing this song!

  • his smile makes me melt, <33

  • 64 justin bieber fans disliked this.

  • @stigmatic79 I disagree. I could see why this could be disliked by fans of the original song. Though, I'm a fan of the original song, I like his twists on the original.

  • @LittyCat82 : "waist" ????

    its scary that you can't spell!

  • @tdkittle Perhaps you'd be interested in Madonna's version of Don McLean's "American Pie". Who needs all the lyrics to enjoy the song?? As a true Simon and Garfunkel fan, I'm disgusted by this version. Not the arrangement or singing, but the complete absence of most of the words!!!

  • @ColdCalc if you listen carefully to the melody of this song by Lee, you will love it!!! Like Simon said, it seems like it was just created a week ago and it was brilliant!!!

  • I looked this up from some glowing comments about this performance on a lyrics page for "The Boxer". They raved about it. I don't. How can he "feel it" or "be the Boxer" when he only sings about 25% of the lyrics (if that). Plus, sorry Alicia Keys, but he can't "be the Boxer" because the Boxer isn't the narrator of the lyrics. The last verse skips to this character, and that's the only mention of the Boxer -- perhaps the best symbol of the song, but not the singer himself.

  • @ColdCalc its not his fault that he can't sing all the words. There is a time limit for how long they can be on the stage and all contestants have to shorten the songs. If you listen to the studio version he sings the whole thing.

  • Googly eyed lee @_@

  • wtf he sucks. x factor > american idol cuz they dont sugarcoat, and they don't bullshit bullshitting.

  • Lee DeWyze is a truly worthy winner of the competition and a great artist. Brilliant song and song choice for Lee, well done!

  • Its still absolutely beautiful ~

  • After all that time and all the things hes been trough this year with the album and all ... i still enjoy that performence and got goosps, i remmber that was my favorite at his time in american idol .

  • Paul and Art are still light years superior. And they are both almost 70. Not saying hes bad, but dont try to compare him Artie's pipes and Paul's brain, can't be done.

  • he is such an amazing, unique, cute singer <3:)

  • my favorite american idol performance... ever :) still gives me goosebumps '',)

  • this was soooooo inspirational. and i love alicia's quiet demeanor and great critique.

  • I ♥ you Lee. =)

  • 58 didn't like this??????  Are they deaf...I get crazy chill bumps everytime I hear this....AMAZING SONG sung by an AMAZING ARTIST!!

  • Never lose your heart when singing your songs! After all Lee that is what made the boxer song so genuinely special! Your fan always, Cindy Berner

  • JUST LOVED IT! AMAZING!

  • Marry me Lee ?

    Pretty Please ?

    :D

    I would diiiie Just to get to meet him . <3

    I love him, one of the most Amazzzing voices I have ever heard.

    I'm so glad he won, he deserved it . I will always support him, through out his whole career .

  • i visited america that time and watched this show and i fell deeply in love with this song.. <3

  • Did anybody else notice he's wearing skinny jeans(kinda) when he's with Alicia Keys?

  • Lee has this mysterious look about him. Hes so passionate about his music! Im so happy he came out of his shell during AI because hes so amazing!!

  • i wish he still sold paint......id be there everyday lmao

  • Goosebumps

  • really love the song i almost cry it gave me strength so inspiring i hope that my cousin hear this to give him strength he can't move on from the death of his father when talks about he always cry and i all so cry bcoz i was remembering the time that my uncle is still alive this song really so inspiring

  • i do declare there were times when im so lonesome... i took some comfort there ohhn lala la la la

  • yeah the lyrics really lives on every generation.... but the fighter still remains

  • 1:11-1:16 awkward. haha :D

  • i knew the moment i saw him at auditions there was something special in him. i was in tears at the end of his performance

  • to be that talented and humble is so rare. Talent mixed with sincerity is such an awesome combination.

  • Absolutely amazing performance..... I NEVER start my day at work without

    watching his videos....

  • lee dewyze is best artist and amazing singer

  • @BOBOFETT100 I agree. He is by far my favorite Idol.

  • no doubt he is one of the best of Idol!

  • @NeoZod19 guys... you all need to check-out "lee dewyze little drummer boy in HD 12/2/5/10". Lee and his band ROCKED!!! It is so HOT!

  • Thumbs up if you have met Lee(:

  • lol. is he wearing lip gloss or chapstick or something?

    he sang this one very nicely. his voice fits this song :)

  • Prbly the most true and sincere and least of a sell out of all the Idol winners and this performance and his Hallelujah performance are at least MY favorite...im glad he won..after Andrew got voted off i started to root for Lee a lot more

  • Lee won because of this performance and falling slowly, and beautiful day, and thats life as definite wins for lee.

  • He won because of this performance. Most of the other stuff he did was shit but this one is so fucking incredible.

  • I've never watched this show before in my life until today... but seriously, Crystal's voice blows this guy away.

  • so proud of my cousin:)

  • THE NEXT BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.....

  • I swore I was done with Idol the year before, but I'm glad I watched this year. Lee is by far the best of talent ever on that show. Pure honesty in everthing about him.

  • @jnwmom I agree completely.

  • Lol simon 4:59

  • I love you Lee! You're the greatest really not only as a singer but as a person. May you have more blessings to come!

  • Is Lee wearing lip gloss? Because I think my sister has that same shade...

  • AMEZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lee you are truly amazing passionate true to yourself. I LOVE THIS SONG Only sung by you!!! It gives me goosbumps i keep listening to the songs you sang on idol pitty i cannot download them on i tunes but love your new stuff so up beat gets me motivated in two seconds. I can't wait for the album. Aussie mum who is so proud of you i can only imagine how your parents feel. truly inspirational!!!!!

  • @melfel100 ok im all about this rendition but how can u say that u dont like the boxer by simon and garfunkel? it is a classic... u need to check your ears

  • @RTLippy Relax The song is Amazing! Simon & Garfunkel are fantastic. Lees voice is amazing and the two for me were amazing. He has great choice in music. Go Lee!!!!!!

  • @melfel100 u said u only liked it when he did it... kinda contradictory to your first comment no?

  • @n1kingopopfan well, i am really a fan of lee dewyze but the song doesn't makes sense for me. because of lalalala.. but its okay his voice is still amazing

  • nice

  • Doesn't really seem like a Simon Garfunkel song when he sings it....

    Which is ok, because I think he put his own spin on it, like his style or not.

  • @degree7 lol that's because NOBODY can sing it like Garfunkel and Simon :P

    That being said, Lee's version was decent enough.

  • I LOVE this song. especially when Lee sings it. He was my fave, and I bet my parents he would win. I won like 5 bucks. lol I also called it when David Cook and Kris Allen won. Im American idol psychic. aha

  • i hate this he only sings LALALALALALALALA all the time

  • @iiJkRii1 That's the way the song goes dit dit dit....

  • lee ROCKS!!!!!!

  • @gzu31 yup

  • i love lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • Where is Lee? IS he going to be a real star? Where are the big new clips? Oh yeah he is real man. Today entertainment world respects crazy Lady Gaga, trash Ka$a, gay Lambert, and trashy rappers. He deserves more.

  • @Hakob84 I agreed with you, until you said "gay Lambert"...He's more than just gay. He's an amazing singer, and doesn't need to be classified with two people who use stupid costumes and weird lyrics to make them famous. They can't sing...Lambert can...and so can Lee...

  • @ILuvSterling Lambert sucks, his version of Whole Lotta Love is awful. I cant stand his covers.

  • Simon and Garfunkel would be proud

  • @iiroshak What do you mean would? "Would", if they watched American Idol? They're both well and alive you know.

  • @iiroshak they would

  • @TheDtgray definitely. Simon and Garfunkel would be reall really PROUD!!!

  • well its good he has great taste in music but i did not like it, if you listen to the real song by simon and garfunkel, its longer, the pace is faster, and you find yourself mesmorized by the harmonies and vocals and guitar work in the song, not to mention the lyrics, great song, not a great cover. sorry.

  • @JEFFMM71 (queer)

  • @JEFFMM71 You need to take into consideration...it is Simon and Garfunkel... STARTS...... Lee just starting up...he put a good twist on the song. NO ONE expected him to be as good as Simon and Garfunkel....cuz that would be absurd....he did VERY well on his own version...but of course no Simon and Garfunkel.... They are legends! Butt Lee felt this song, was in the song...was in his moment....made himself part of the song....he almost teared up..he felt the song and that's what matters!

  • So good I'm speechless.

  • love you Lee!!!!

    xxxxxoooooo

  • <3 la la la la la la liiiiiiiiiiii , he so good, I love his voice !!

  • Hehe.. the cutest paint salesman I've ever seen :P

    My favourtie performance <3

  • we dont need another john mayer not hating but i dont like ppl tht have the same singing voice as everyone else....

  • @oral1 He sounds nothing like John Mayer...plus John Mayer is a d bag who talks about his sex life....he is a loser!

  • he should sing some creed. he would do a fantastic rendition of it

  • Great performance. I think one of Lee's greatest talents is the ability to take any song, keep the underlying essence of the song, but restyle it to meet his unbelievable voice ... and essentially end up with a BETTER song! On AI Lee took "making the song yours" to a never before reached plateau. Among other things, that's why he won the competition. His future is unlimited.

  • @wazoocity You say he took the "Making the song yours" to a level never Reached before, but are you Forgetting Adam Lambert and all the ways he would change his songs to make them kick ass!

  • Lee, from the tone of his voice, to his emotions, beautiful phrasing, that gorgeous smile and sparkling blue eyes, he is priceless.

  • one of the BEST AI performances EVER!!!!! LOVE HIM!!

  • This was a great performance! GO LEE!

  • This is a really, really good cover of this song- so much emotion is conveyed by his phrasing, and the tone of his voice is something special. Its beautiful.

  • this performance was incredible

  • oh nooo... this is so bad :-(

    not his singing but the music. the original song by s&g is so much better.

  • @arvidflow Yes... the original version is faster, and it will always be far surperier to any cover. I'm only 17, but I don't like it when young people perfer this and they don't respect the classics. The Boxer isn't a song your suppost to wave your arms to.

  • lol he said alot of people say that like that :u mean crystal XD

  • The winner of 2010 ido

  • look at his eyes!!!could he be more emotional? i love it!!

  • ... I didn't watch season nine, and this is one of many videos that I believe proves I made the right decision.

  • this is why he won. def one of my fav performances of his. :)

  • i wish the studio version was more like the live! cuz the live is amazing! Awesome!! and everyone who says raspy singers are a dime a dozen i would like you to fine one as good as lee in now a days!

  • lol hey lee, remember class??

    FADASH(stoker) AND CANNON ARE PROUD

  • nice song

  • Ignore this mingheanghui idiot davidcooksweety. mingheanghui is just another no class Crystal fan bashing Lee thinking he's doing her a favor. When I posted on Crystal's video saying to stop hating because some people liked both Lee AND Crystal ming went off on a 3 post rant about how great Crystal is, how rude Lee is and how I should get off Crystal's videos. In other words, it's just another sore loser hypocrit crying about how Crystal is & will always be the runner up on season 9 AI

  • @Cuzifeeliket: i know. i just dont get y they have to take it out on lee and his fans: lee won fair and square, they need to move on and stop dwelling on it. mingheanghui isnt doing her a favor by bashing lee, hes only making her look bad and thats a fact. wut video did u post on? j/w im just sick and tired of the nasty posts some crystal fans leave on youtube about lee. crystal came in runner up, crystal fans like mingheanghui should be happy for her, she came this far didnt she?

  • I love him. I seriously can't go a day without watching videos of him singing.

  • @LittlemissLalaland me eitherr!! :D

  • @LittlemissLalaland  still watch em?

  • i would go to that paint store EVERYDAY ! seeeexy.

  • my favorite song of the season :) i love you lee!

  • who was the first performer?

  • @cindythepig Casey James. He did Don't Stop by Fleetwood Mac.

  • Does he have braces?

  • Comment removed

  • I like the guy, and I think the "rasp" is very underrated in the American Idol and pop crowd. Listen to John Lennon and Julian Casablanca, dudes are great. HOWEVER, this song doesn't need this style and Simon & Garfunkel will never be beaten. The Boxer is truly their song.

  • @zachandthemachines A lot of the under 20, maybe 25 crowd probably never even heard this song until Lee did it. For them it's his and this is the version any others will be compared to. Lee kept the heart and soul of the song but updated it which is exactly what he should have done for the show. But I know what you're saying. I grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel because of my dad.

  • So are goatees back in?

  • @dapthechap Did they go out?? Noboy told me.

  • what a cutie. (:

  • He Is Amazing. :)

  • Love it! 

  • too generic for me. i feel like i'm listening to nickleback, hinder, three days grace, bush etc. over and over every time he sings. that rasp will ruin the nodes on his chords anyway.

  • SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL....ULTIMATE LEE DEWYZE SHRINE!!! LOL!

  • i do have a life ...a great life by the way just to let u know...maybe u r so pissed unable to accept ppl opinion...as i said b4...i still prefer other great rasp singer than him....to me he is already outdated what wrong with that...Any music industry will know they are looking for something new and different every year....

  • lee is awesome

  • @mingheanghui Ok so go find some other "great rasp singer" and watch their videos instead. We'll stay here. kthxbye

  • LEE DEYWZE you are "SIMPLY THE BEST"!!! You are like a magnet, with your unique voice and overall good persona you ATTRACT!!! More Power To You LEEEEEEEEE!!! (and for those who keep bashing LEE, get a life! If you are Crystal fans, do her a favor and stop doing these negative things you are all doing, you are just giving her a bad name!!!)

  • to me he is nothing unique...a lot of singer has that rasp voice...for me i will find something different...bono, bon jovi they are great rasp singer...and so forth

  • @mingheanghui maybe to u he is nothing unique, but i think everyone is unique in their own way. alot of singers have raspy voices, but i think its about ppl likeing the singers voice and the music: thats all that matters. everyones diff and thats ok. wuts wrong with liking someone with a raspy voice? i think he has an amazing voice. love u lee!

  • @davidcooksweety What kind of music he is creating he is singing covers beside I prefer strong vocal raspy voice like Bono what wrong with that Lee is not my cup of tea my choice and what is wrong with that too..To me he is too weak vocal.. I love Bono

  • i dont think he is a great singer...just ok ..my choice not to be disrespectful...

  • @mingheanghui You're allowed your opinions :)  What I love about Lee is his passion and that rocker rasp in his voice. I could listen to him all day.

  • great song. so much emotion going towards his music. :)

  • I LOVE HIM!!!! U ROCK LEE!!!
