American Idol: Drama on the Rocks

It looks like the marathon of pressure is finally getting to our final two American Idol hopefuls. They may have breezed to the top with very little actual competition this season, but Lee has finally stepped up his game to try and overthrow the Bowersox throne.

This week each contestant sang three songs.

Crystal Bowersox

• Winner’s song – “Up to the Mountain”
• Simon Fuller’s Choice – “Black Velvet”
• Crystal’s Choice – “Me and Bobby McGee”

Lee Dewyze

• Winner’s song – “Beautiful Day”
• Simon Fuller’s Choice – “Everybody Hurts”
• Lee’s Choice – “The Boxer”

Rehearsals for last night’s show were both borderline disastrous. Crystal was half way through her run of “Up the Mountain” when she stopped and forgot the words. She tried to shake it off but started over completely.

Lee also had some trouble with his song to be released should he win. A violinist accidentally hit him with his bow as he was finishing the song. Dewyze didn’t say anything but was extremely upset and merely walked off stage after he hit the last note.

As for who will win? Could be another Adam Lambert/Kris Allen upset. Crystal has been dubbed the winner most of the season, but Simon Cowell has changed his tune. While he was an avid proponent for Team Crystal, he told Ellen DeGeneres on her show that he thinks Lee will win it.

“If you’d asked me five or six weeks ago, 100 percent I would have said Crystal [Bowersox]. But now I’ve changed my mind. I think Lee [DeWyze] is going to win. He’s worked in a paint shop,” he says. “He’s talented. He hasn’t had any real breaks in life, and this has given him a shot, and I like that.”

So what are your predictions? Will Lee overthrow the reign on f Crystal?
