It's over. American Idol season 9 has ended. America has chosen yet another idol, Lee DeWyze. Not only does Lee have a debut album expected to release on October 26th 2010, but he has already produced his single "Beautiful Day" with the American Idol record company and his own albums "Slumberland" and "So I'm Told." All are examples of his incredible talent and only prove his future in music is bright.
There have been numerous rumors going around about Lee and Crystal dating, but, sadly, none of them are true. As much as it pains us fans to realize it, the "perfect couple" is still in our imaginations. It's a shame, however, because Crystal is the only girl I, and many others, would be okay with dating Lee. Crystal has confirmed, 2 days ago, that she is single and thinks of Lee as her brother. "He's a small town guy and I don't blame him for anything."-Crystal, talking about her ex-boyfriend, while being the special guest on Ellen along with Lee.
What's really fascinating is it's not completely over. It sounds crazy to most of you readers, but there is a virtual American Idol show that has not ended. The finale is yet to come between Crystal and Shioban. Crystal's quite popular, isn't she?
The idol contestants are chosen on this "virtual" show by the audience, computer owners, who also choose each contestant's songs every week. Apparently it's quite common that the virtual show, with the same, real, contestants, contains better song choices than Fox's production. It's a stretch but it sounds like it could get very popular with more publicity. I'll have to do more research and get back to you, but there's your piece of useless information for the day.
Despite the major drop in viewers, American Idol was great this year. Season 10 is expected to have a staged rivalry between contestants to get some viewers back since, this year, everyone was TOO nice and no one really cared who won since "they all deserved it." Contestants say that every season but in the end, they all want their name called as America's next idol. That wasn't portrayed this year so let's hope next season has some changes. They'll need it with Simon gone.
We, the viewers, are the real judges so let's choose our next idol. Tune back in to Fox in January for Season 10 and back to teenislandhits.blogspot.com for next week's music review.
Love you all,
