We loved Big Mike, but didn't think he would win it. Casey is just a "pretty face" really, so I agree that it's down to Lee and Crystal. That's a tough call, but I think Crystal has a lot more confidence and seems to feel at ease with her talent. Lee seems to be a bit timid. I guess it will really be decided by their last performance - that's what people will vote on.
Name: Jonas
Comments: Crystal has true talent and can perform. The way I see it you have to vote for who you'd rather listen to for an hour and a half in a concert and Crystal is the choice for that. The others would just start to bore you after awhile.
Crystal did a great job. I do like Lee, but he seems to be a "one-trick pony" -- he's not very versatile. Every one of his songs sounded the same last night.
Crystal, on the other hand, can change it up and be very different for each song. We'll see what "America" thinks
The people at home voting seem to always pick the person you least expected. In this case, it was a close race (less than 2% of vote difference between the two). Lee is the new American Idol of Season 9. It was also the last day in Simon Cowell as a judge in the show.
