Barefoot, I'm with you -- Lee absolutely blew me away last night. It was the first time I could see why the judges chose him to be one of the finalists. That being said, I can't see any of the finalists being Idols this time around. Crystal will probably have moderate CD sales (think Ruben Stoddard). To me, Casey is worth a drink or two at my favorite bar but not someone I would spend money to purchase a CD or buy a ticket to see. As I said, Lee surprised me last night. Simon truly hit the nail on the head on his song choice for Lee -- it put him way over the top in my book. I'm not convinced I'd buy a ticket to see him as the headline act, but I know I'd be very happy to hear he was the opening act for a favorite group.
So, here's hoping Casey is finally history. Crystal should ultimately win justr because she's been consistently good. I'd like Lee to win just on the basis of his performance last night.
