Well anyhoo, Lee DeWyze is our newest American Idol (...cue the confetti). Ehh, I'm looking in my crystal ball and just seeing a lot of fog.
Please, anyone that doubts me just watch the clip of Crystal and Alanis and then compare that with the tepid (and pitchy) performance by Lee with Chicago (videos at bottom of post), and honestly tell me which one rocked more.
Crystal will do really well, and here's the proof. History will repeat itself. American Idol winners (and the REAL winners), by season:
SEASON 1: 2002Winner: Kelly Clarkson
2nd Place: Justin Guarini
Ah, the first season, back to a purer, simpler time. One of the very few times they and America got it 100% right. Kelly Clarkson has released 4 albums to date, won two Grammy Awards. Her 4 albums have sold over 10.5 million copies in the United States.

And what about Justin? Not much to report. We can only hope he still has the big hair.
Side-note: The other big winner and superstar to come out of Season One was Ryan Seacrest. Remember way back then when there was Ryan and some guy that looked like a hamster co-hosting? His name was Brian Dunkleman.
