The final 2 battle has been set on American Idol. Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze are the last two standing and will battle each other for the “American Idol” title next week.
With over 47 million votes cast, eliminated last night was Casey James, a native of Forth Worth, Texas. “I never thought I’d get this far,” said Casey to Ryan Seacrest. “But to me, it’s like winning $10 million in the lottery and $100 million in the lottery. It’s so much more than I expected, so it can’t be bad.”
Lee was the first to be announced safe last night, which was no surprise judging by his amazing performance of Leonard Cohen’s classic “Hallelujah” on Monday night. A performance which moved both the judges and the audience.
And while Crystal, 24, has been the front runner all season, Lee, 23, is steadily catching up. Judge Randy Jackson said Wednesday that Lee had “blossomed beyond belief” since the start of the season.
Next week is the two-part finale during which the 2010 “American Idol” will be crowned live on May 26, and will win a recording contract.
