I doubt that anyone was surprised by last night's results. I am now having a hard time deciding who is my favorite to win it. All season it has been Crystal, but, after Lee knocked it out of the park with his rendition of Hallelujah, I am having second thoughts. (For the first time, I was even going to download an Idol song from iTunes, but then saw that the only version that they have available is the shortened version that they played on the air.)
Since Lee and Crystal were so good together in the duet, perhaps the best result is co-winners with them making an album together. If they did, I would certainly buy it.
As an aside, does anyone know if there is any behind-the-scenes manuevering going on with the song selections and in particular, the production of the songs? Whereas the two others had very simple productions for their songs, Lee had the full orchestra and a choir. If this was Lee's doing, then he really has a lot of talent over and above just singing.
