As lots of America begins to LOVE Lee- it’s nice to see what some of the major music industry thinks of him. As for MTV, they sure seem to be fans!
‘Lee Dewyze is the brooding bad boy of this “Idol” season. Lee’s weathered voice shares traits with rock superstars like Chad Kroeger and Daughtry, which might explain why the judges are especially supportive of Dewyze’s “Idol” journey.’
Lee is safe tonight on American Idol and will be heading to the top 10 and a tour this summer! Congratulations!
According to USA Today Lee Dewyze not only came out and rocked the billboard hit “The Letter” last night on American idol but he was doing so as a tribute and many children were anxiously awaiting the song!
“Lee DeWyze gets big points this week for choosing the Box Tops’ The Letter — I’m assuming it’s a tribute to Box Tops frontman Alex Chilton, who died last week.”
