Lee DeWyze -"Chasing Cars"

[amusielski23]

why cant fucking snow partol sing it like this i like this verison more than theres now that saying somthing

[TheSeanTaylor7]

I absolutely love his take on this! So different yet still amazing!

[clamchowder2010]

Only Simmon knew whats going on!!

[MrEarcheese]

Holy shit he's pitchy. 

[Firefighter724NC]

lol i love how randy said he should use Kings of Leon, but they wouldnt let him sing Use Somebody on the show....

[Vertigo2903]

please so pitchy

[TheRockValentino]

He hit some bad notes but I liked it.

[r0ck99videos]

Love this!

[r0ck99videos]

The performance is fucking awesome!

I felt something. Love you lee!

[attraction777]

he already won ...

[sunshineonme0126]

The best American Idol. You know he is in it for the music not for the fame or money.

[towzonetrailers]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his voice and his passion when he sings!

[seanzoz]

way better than the original

[TheJoslyn2009]

I STILL LOVE THIS SONG.

[akmorel15]

WOOOO CHICAGO !



[Tinamrgn5]

i love his head-bob/sly-smile reaction to Ryan saying "A charmer!"

[partytree92]

I love the original version to death, and even though I'm really not a fan of the percussion here, I do like his melody changes. It has just as much feeling in it as Snow Patrol's. 

[Ariela24680]

he's such a good guy (:

[TomJason25]

I love it when he pulls his pants up. :)

[TomJason25]

I like his version better.

So lively.

[BubblyViolin11]

i actually agree with simon, yea maybe it was a bit pitchy but the majority of the performances are. i like that he took the song and flipped it around. i can't stand listening to the original and not hear lee's version of it.

[Haseye]

He was out of tune many times during the song and he changed the song so much it doesn't even sound like the original, when you cover a song, you don't make into another song.

But I like Lee, he's a good singer and was the best this season, but this presentation didn't work for me.

[gatorgrl1989]

i hated this song when I first heard it by the snow patrol but with him singing and the passion in his voice made me love this song ... and him ... he is amazing .. and I get the chills everytime i listen to him :)

[BreeLove09ily]

i get the chills everytime i hear lee sing!!! i love himm.

[lagordita149]

love it especially how he ended it. kinda gives me butterflies.

[JustinBieberLuver616]

so happy Lee won. he was my favorite from the start<3333

[perception2020]

I love this guy.....Period.

[mpuerquitoo]

STFU randyyy!! cant tell him what he can or cant sing he sung it GREAT

.. so STFU too karaa... For me, all that matters is simon's judgement, seriously even if its bad, i dont take the others seriously SPECIALLY that randy one with his "dawg"

[Altair1215]

hmm. i like the way he changed the song. sounded really good.

[LProcks71]

lee is amazing



[desigb]

Simon for president!:)

[Razanalkatkotah]

I loved Lee since he 1st auditioned.....I also told my mom that theres sth special abt him thats definetly going to take him to the finale!!

[jptennis94]

i thnk his voice is really unique and people get confused if hes off tune or something. He's really not, hes just really good.....and raspy and unique. i dont know but his voice just melts me to death

[abadabadingdong]

I really don't get why he won.......oh well, I'm happy for him though.

[MichelleRocks99]

@abadabadingdong Ya I was totally shocked when he won. I love him and I wanted him to win, but I definately thought it would be Cyrstal.

[onlee2frme]

@MichelleRocks99 well, you were DEFINITELY WRONG, weren't you? There was no way she was going to win.

SORRY, but AMERICA as well as other COUNTRIES love LEE!!!

[MichelleRocks99]

Oh hey calm down there, I said I WANTED HIM TO WIN!!!! xD

I'm glad I was wrong :P

@onlee2frme

[abcd21690]

Looking back into all of Lee's performances I still think that he did a great job on this one. I heavily detest the original version but I loved the way Lee changed it up and I barely even noticed that he was off-key or so as other people claim.

[assistedsuicide88]

he sounds a lil bit like John Mayer in this song. haha.

[andrew4950]

simon knows his shit!

[Stevelapierre1]

is it just me of this guy is really off???

[msclb2]

Love this! Wish he could have done that Fray song during the regular season, too. That sounded good.

[Spaztastic786]

Hahahaaa he put his guitar pick in him mouth!!!!!!!!!!!! Love him!! <3

[CPFAN578]

Lee's amazing,and I am going to miss simon so much. you know if it werent for simon we wouldnt have seen lee for that long. he wasnt going to be in the top 24 but simon absolutly INSISTED that he gets a chance because he had hopes in him.

[daan7344]

..........<3 LEE DEWYZE CHOICE..<3

[bethuel1979]

2:09/2:10... he really went OFF there! it almost blew my ears out! but i still voted for him though. this was just a bad night. thank god this was just top 24... go Lee!!!

[margaphyo]

omg, great version.

[schs4life]

ah, i loveeee this song.

and the way he does it!

<3

[keanufan09]

if lee sang the song the exact same way snow patrol sang it , it wouldnt be worth listening to, i'm glad lee made it his own GO LEE

[mustangmom29]

@keanufan09 He had to make it his own, 'cause nobody else would have wanted it, awful vocals. Listen to it again.

[loverlei79]

Lee winning is proof that over half of america is tired of rap, and vulger music that has no basis or culture or fun or any revelence besides violence and humping. back to folk/storytelling/rock!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dsterk17]

WOW he was OFF almost 2 notes the entire time. REALLY REALLY BAD!!! But I've heard his other stuff and I think this was just a bad night.

[dsterk17]

As a music teacher, WOW he was OFF almost 2 notes the entire time. REALLY REALLY BAD!!! But I've heard his other stuff and I think this was just a bad night. 

[livewithlove2893]

@dsterk17 NO ONE IS PERFECT BUDDY.

[ecuaagua20]

@livewithlove2893 thats right lmao

[eulogiowever]

@dsterk17 As a music teacher, go do all you did all over again

[nnnguyet]

Simon is right most of the time...

[nnnguyet]

Simon is not really an ear-candy judge most of the time, but he has always been right most of the timeeee. Wondering how AI would be if Simon is no longer here to judge the right thing. Gonna miss him...

[LauraKloppers]

and you ROCK

[jschwind435]

Nice guy. Bowersox is a better performer.

[Popprincessgirl]

the thing about this song is, he made it his own. he mixed it up a bit, i love lee. and i voted every mintue for him last night for an hour n a half. i love him.

[LuckyShinobi]

I'm not a fangirl/or/fanboy of Lee, but he desurves a lot. He's very talented. <3

[ChrisMagoo99]

so off key. don't deny it, Lee fanboys/girls. He's gotten better, but this is terrible.

[chicklet65]

Simon is right! As early as this he already knew that Lee would win. Hats off to Simon! He will be missed.

[ihetusomats]

love it,,,,,,best rendition of the song :D love you lee

[timteutul]

he is awesome. Nuff said. He's gotta be the next american idol 2010!

[MsAngel144]

Lee is the most amazing singer ever, It's so beautiful!!! I hope he wins!!

[brainiac315]

simon definitely knows how to call them :P

[ljbeck123]

I think lee is an amazing singer but... this one was all over the place

[Wastemytime57]

Lee, You are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Such a GREAT Talent! I can sense that this is just in you, as natural as breathing. Good luck man. Hope all of your dreams come true.

[Rightsviolation]

randy was somehow right just hear the cover of use somebody from lee =)

[gerryhansolo]

the next american idol!

[starvmoon]

it great has someone like lee on american idol and going to win it!!

[YaLu86]

looooove it! Love Lee!

[audreygygi]

I LOVE HIS VOICE!!!!

[chicklet65]

He reminds me of Kris Allen in the sense that he was not the obvious choice but he just kept steadily climbing and will probably be the one to win this. I love him more with every week. He just keeps getting better. He was not my first choice but now he is.

[mrscountryatheart]

Bla Bla Bla Randy and Kyra are retarted hello Lee Rocks!!!! He is got this in the bag!!! Way to go Simon you know what awesome is!!

[cezcyl08]

he looks like a little boy when he makes those lips thing on 3:59.very cute:)

[NatPrincessDoll]

this was fucking beautiful

[classicbigal]

Lee deserves to win... He is AWESOME. :)

[mugswump]

I like his voice, but he was off pitch quite a bit. But you know...if Simon likes him, he'll do ok. Simon says....

[xosarahhS]

His voice is so current. this is what people want to hear

[smelyalatax3]

gunna vote for himm soo much! (:

[originaozz]

i can't say that he sang it better than the original cause snow patrol, gosh! who can compete that!!! but lee's really good in this song

ps. i think Randy & Kyra's not wrong either

there are songs that he could sing better, but he just starting so give him a chance!

[NiceView23]

i love Simon for saying that... he's so good. that voice is ridiculously good. and he is so cute when he put the pick in his mouth and just charmed everyone

[DaydreamerV]

i remember when this episode was on i was literally yelling at the TV cause i was so outraged at Ellen, Randy, and Kara's criticism. they were SO hard on him, really for no reason seeing that he did a fantastic job on that song. Lee was amazing! the split second he started singing i knew he was my favorite. i really hope he wins. keep voting!

[Baraz2003]

besides michael lynche and crystal bowersox i know he has a chance! i love him. and i hope he ends up with a sucessfull career.

[bjculler2010]

personally i like this better than the origional!! :D

[luvkiekie]

Cute that Ryan called Lee a charmer. He has charmed me with his voice. some people say he has no personality. I think he is loaded with personality just what we see on stage is nervousness and concentration. Go all the way Lee! I am voting for you.

[khomster]

What a voice! He's hot.

[kandyluva]

go simon and ellen!! i love lee!!!! his voice is awesome!!!!!!!!!! i hope he wins :)

[ayhingue]

nice version there.....

[rnyc04]

lee does look a bit like kris allen doesn't he? nevertheless, he also has a bit of david cook's voice... which is a good combination...

[PinkFrostyDonut]

He looks like mark feehily of westlife.

[rnyc04]

i love his version and i think his version is better than the original... go Lee!!! he picks songs that are current and he adds his own styke to it which makes it even better... i'm sure he's going in the top 12...

[swva111]

Randy and Kyra got it all wrong. I want to hear it over and over. I absolutely loved it. Best voice, he is unique and I liked this arrangement better than the original. He is current and I just wanna hear more from him. Go Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vanina261]

Simon is the only one that knows whats going on!!

LEE IS AMAZING! LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!

[mlk4kna]

Loved the song and really luv his voice....his voice is made to be a rocker.....luv luv luv it....

[ForeverHope100]

I personally loved it and would love to fined his copy in a full verison!!

[BethanysNecessities]

LOVE<3

[unspoken93]

i love his take on it :)

[Dalogic]

I luved his rendition. Reallky enjoyed the performance, it wasn't without it's faults but I love the soul he connected to it

[heygeorgepettit]

....he totally ruined it. it doesnt even sound like chasing cars.

[BethanysNecessities]

@heygeorgepettit It doesn't matter if he sounds like it. He put his own touch to it! :)
