LOVE this version! K D Lang did a version a few years back that was stunning, but this is right up there for me. A great song and he sang it with such passion!

I am so glad you won. I made banners, shirts, and everything you can imagine to support you on Tuesday & Wednesday. When you won I bawled and screamed. You deserved to win because you seem like a really nice and humble person. You have such a talent and I hope to come to one of your concerts in the future. I will always support you and cheer you on in your career. :)
i find it so annoying that great songs sung by contestants of american idol are always made into crap thanks to the unnecessary background singers they use all the darn time! seriously, AI can do us all such a good service by NOT using them in the studio recordings. that said, dewyze's version is not an exception. also, i sort of think tim urban's version is better than this.
@laggern00b don't be a retard. i never said Lee sucked. i simply commented on the fact that i liked tim's version better, even though it was far shorter than this full studio version. everyone is entitled to their opinion, and i am surely entitled to mine. so do me a favor and go stick your head in a hole.
I love how he sang it, but the one thing that bothers me is that this song was already sung during this season. Maybe Tim Urban didn't sing it as good...well, yeah, but I just dont like how it's been sung twice. I think Tim was in the Top..16? Somewhere around that time.
@rickdman87 i love lee, but no one will ever take over for carrie underwood as best american idol. and david cook didnt even come close to her. i love him but he didnt do that great with his first cd. hopefully the next one is way better.
This is good, but it still can't touch Cohen's ORIGINAL version. His almost spoken word in that gravel voice makes when he sings and hits the hallelujahs all that much better. It gives you goosebumps.
@thomasunthank@girllycrave95 THIS SIMPLE MAN IS MORE THAN WE SEE RIGHT NOW, HE WILL MAKE MORE RECORDS THAN ANY OTHER AMERICAN IDOL. HE WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO SING.
LEE DEWYZE YOU GOT THE GIFT THAT GOD GIVES TO ONLY A FEW IN THIS WORLD.
IT MAKES US SING OUT LOUD. HE IS SENDING OUT THE MESSAGE BEAUTIFULLY.
HALLELUJAH, AMEM HE HAS A PURE VOICE SINGS IT BEAUTIFULLY,.
I'm so glad the studio version is as good as the live version! I mean, let's admit, the live version really cannot be beat, but this came pretty close.
I just listened to several versions of this song performed on AI & this one, by far, blows them all away...Lee is simply amazing & the studio version is AWESOME!! thanks for posting, will def download
leeeee....you r AMAZING!!!!..wait! ur everything good :D...if ur reading this..i just want to tell u..i been a fan from day 1....i knew u can win this. and my money is still on u...just do ur best...WIN IT!!!!!
DeWyze for the DeWin! Sooo deserves it after seeing him evolve so much on the stage. Idol's all about progression and Lee definitely improved the most
Really agree to what simon said to lee....You just crushed the other two contestants with that performance........Lee is really the best in this season(in my opinion) crystal is just second... and casey isn't really good he is just popular, that's why he is staying/stayed in the competition..he is just eye candy....not a good singer
@legaspidrex how can you just make a hasty generalization about his singing? didn't you hear that he nailed the songs yesterday? his song choices were just off yesterday
best song anyone has ever sung on the season/show. lee is simply amazing! although if he doesnt win (which i definitely think he deserves it) i will be okay because people do better when there not attached to that stupid american idol contract where they help write their stuff, etc. because i woulda been pissed if that happened to adam! so yeah. lol:) i love you lee!
This and Simple Man gave me the chills when he did them live. He is awesome. Set up to win or not, he is good. It is a competition. Not our fault that the other contestants are not competition for him. I truly believe he will win. Again, he has been the most improved. Thats what David Cook went through, and he won. Lee all the way.
I can't even say how much I love lee. I was an really big Andrew fan. But when he left I just fell for lee. I agree with you. Lee is 100% real. I mean, Cystal pretty much is as well. But I want this for lee. I feel like I should be rooting for Cystal..but oh well.
But let's just say It's going to be a bad night if he goes home. Casey just needs to be gone, gone, gone!
i can't take it that stupid ppl are saying that Lee is being set up to win, saying like he didnt deserve it. Whether it's a setup or not, you can't deny the fact that he is the best. Come on, everyone goes home on a private jet, what celebrity stardom before taking tha stage is Blake Lewis talking about? If he could be in final 2 during his season, why can't Lee be? Lee is millions times better than him. Somebody who didnt deserve it, is talking crap. Annoying!
I have heard so many versions of this epic song. From the original Lennon Cohen to K. D. Lang's heart-felt Olympic performance this year. I must say Lee has brought something else to this song. It is his voice that really speaks out the lyrics to me. Beautifully done.
Despite Kara's praise ("you're what this show is all about"), Lee is the anti-idol. Most of these guys are so overcome with hubris that they think they're better than they are. The ones that win simply match that hubris. Lee acts like he's shocked every time he opens his mouth. His pitch problems are always psychosomatic. When he's second guessing, he's toast. But when he's on, he's on.
I like this song; however, it has been done to death. That being said I think Lee did a great job on it. He has a lot of passion and feeling in his voice. I'm a BeLEEver.
