I'm wondering what AI will be like without Simon. Simon at least was accurate in his criticisms and made sense if you really listened to what he said. Too much nicey-nice or "dawg" and they'll lose it all. Of course, that might not be such a bad idea given there was little true talent this year. It seemed, at least to me, that most of the contestants would be great at a karaoke bar, good bar/street singers, but no one with the power to sell the tix for a large venue.
Of the two, I think Lee has the bigger drawing power but he has a long way to go before he'll be much more than a warm-up act for a Vegas show. Crystal will always have a small, loyal following and will do well in small venues and intimate clubs. I did notice she tried to open up more on Tuesday night, shaking people's hands, walking around the stage, smiling more, but, to me, it was fake -- just not what Crystal would/should do. Here's hoping I'm wrong on both counts. They both seem like nice people and I'd like to see them do well.

I agree with this post in entirety. I wish Big Mike had won - unique style, talented and very likeable fellow.
Today is a day to celebrate as AI is finally over this season. Dancing was way better this year (however the wife saw it the other way around and of course she wins so now on Tuesday night, we don't have to fight on which to watch). Without Simon, AI might fall off the charts as he was the only person in the know on the entire AI program.
