The soup is gone. I mean, Tim Urban. Now the AI field was left with six talented singers. With Andrew Garcia out, I’m down to my last two bets – Crystal Bowersox and still another Danny Gokey baby, Lee DeWyze. One of them can already wear the Idol crown as early as now.

Of course, Crystal Bowersox is a clear winner given the judges’ consistent praises for her hard work and exceptional talent. But, if I were Crystal, I wouldn’t rest on my laurels yet. Lee DeWyze is a superstar in the making. The guy is said to most likely follow the steps of Daughtry to a record-smashing stardom. People talk about Lee the way one would rave about alli weight loss products. In fact, Kara can already hear Lee’s voice over the radio and the judges seemed to agree. Simon Cowell was so pleased about him he described his last performance as “brilliant”.

Try listening to “Predicament” – Lee’s single from his debut album “So I Was Told” from an independent record company in Chicago called Wuli Records. He actually have two albums recorded under Wuli before he auditioned in American Idol. They’re sold online through Amazon.

Whoever wins between Crystal and Lee, I would still buy both of their records.
