Lee DeWyze Hallelujah

0 comments
WOW.  Yeah.  Lee DeWyze performed "Hallelujah" tonight on the American Idol 2010 Semi-final.  He. absolutely. nailed. it.  Wow.  I was anxiously awaiting this performance tonight, excited ever since I read that Lee would be singing "Hallelujah".  He didn't disappoint!

It was beautiful!!!  Lee started out small and began to build.  Backup singers dressed in black came out on the stage as he sang and framed in directly in the center of the stage.  I usually jot down thoughts as I'm watching American Idol, that way I'll remember my first feeling about the song when I write about it later.  My notes for this performance?  I think he just won American Idol.  It was incredible.  I have been rooting for Crystal since the beginning of the season, but I think tonight Lee won my vote.  He brought his A game.  I really do think he will win.

Enough of my gushing, what did the judges think?  Randy called it his "biggest moment at the biggest time in your career" and said that "it was unbelievable".  Ellen said "That was stunning".  Kara said, "You are what this show is all about" and called Lee DeWyze's performance an "incredible epic moment" she told Lee, "You just owned the entire night".
Simon, who picked the song for Lee told him that he was "Very very very proud" of him.  "You proved that you are a fantastic singer and i hope you make it next week."

My thoughts exactly, Simon.

Here is Lee DeWyze's incredible performance of "Hallelujah".
