			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://americanidolleedewyze.com/wp-content/uploads/lee-dewyze-image-233x300.jpg" alt="" title="lee-dewyze-image" width="233" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-103" />The great thing about America is that on any given day an ordinary person can have all of their dreams come true.  Just talk to the paint-store clerk from Mount Prospect, Ill Lee DeWyze and he will tell you that dreams can become a reality.  It’s something that not only DeWyze will remember forever, but the city of Mount Prospect as well. </p>
<p>DeWyze is the first to admit that in the beginning of the competition he was a more reserved person.  While this did lead to him not being considered the top of the bunch from the start, his down-to-earth personality and incredible skills kept him in the competition throughout.  As the competition continued to progress, so too did the man from Mount Prospect. </p>
<p>“I think that people saw that I can connect with an audience,” said DeWyze.  This is obviously something that is of utmost importance as a performer.  What people like about him is that he came from an ordinary background, persevered and ended up making his dreams come true on one of the biggest reality shows today.</p>
<p>The great thing about American Idol is that it allows the viewers of America to decide on the winner.  DeWyze certainly developed a connection and fan-base across the country, but he had already won the hearts over from everyone in his home town of Illinois.</p>
<p>The small town was not afraid to show their support for the town celebrity.  There were actually moms walking around the city wearing t-shirts that read “Lee DeWyze shook my hand.”  This is a true sign of a community backing someone up from there city and knowing the type of person he is.  </p>
<p>Prior to the finale, DeWyze was able to go back to Mount Prospect and perform for the city while thanking everyone for the support.  He said it was one of the most amazing and moving things he experienced along the way.  There was a tremendous crowd that all came to hear the eventual winner sing in person.  </p>
<p>Just to show the type of person he is, he was originally only supposed to play three or four songs for the home town.  Instead, he ended up treating the audience to nine or 10 songs because of the passion he has for playing in front of live audiences; especially the home town.  </p>
<p>To top everything off, at the finale a live cast was shown from Mount Prospect throughout the show and thousands of people showed up to root for DeWyze.  By the end of the night Ryan Seacrest announced the Lee DeWyze was the winner and the small town in Illinois was in pandemonium for the small kid from a paint store.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://americanidolleedewyze.com/wp-content/uploads/Fox+Meet+Top+12+American+Idol+Finalists+Event+_7Ga4Lmg2dpl-217x300.jpg" alt="" title="Lee DeWyze American Dream" width="217" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-95" />You always hear of these dream come true stories that happened in the U.S., but rarely get to see who it happened to or what type of person wreaked the benefits.  American Idol is one of those reality shows that allow people to come out of nowhere and conquer their dreams.  That is precisely what season 9 winner Lee DeWyze did in front of millions of viewers. </p>
<p>Coming from a city that is not terribly small but not large by any means, DeWyze resides from Mount Prospect, Illinois.  The community holds just under 60,000 people and probably did not realize a rising star was amidst the town.  Not until the middle of season 9 on American Idol anyway.</p>
<p>From the start, it was obvious that DeWyze had skills and belonged in the competition.  What was not obvious was that he would prevail and take the crown by the end.  However, week after week people continued to vote him back.  While he did not stand out from the rest of the competitors early on, it was his personality and connection with audiences that made him so likeable. </p>
<p>In the first half of the competition, he was rather shy and was often noted for his lack of smiling.  The judges were constantly on him to show some enthusiasm and have a good time on the stage.  What people slowly but surely began to learn was what type of a guy DeWyze really was. </p>
<p>While living in Mount Prospect, he was nothing more than a paint store clerk trying to make a living.  It’s not exactly the most impressive job in the world, but that’s what makes the story so great.  This is someone that came from a blue-collar job and was trying to make an honest living that prevailed and beat all of the odds to win one of the top reality competitions in the world.</p>
<p>What makes him so special is how easy going and warm-hearted he is.  Even the rather stingy judge Simon Cowell said in the final weeks that DeWyze was an incredible person that showed a lot of character and deserved to succeed in life.  As for DeWyze himself, he has long said he just wants to make a connection with audiences in the sense that any song he performs will remind people of a specific moment in their life, not his.</p>
<p>So while the so-called underdog came out of nowhere to win season 9 of American Idol, it really is not too much of a surprise considering the type of person he is and the obvious skills he possesses.  At the end of the day, it’s another feel-good story about someone who came from little and made all of their dreams come true in the great country of America.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://americanidolleedewyze.com/wp-content/uploads/leedewyze-269x300.jpg" alt="" title="leedewyze" width="269" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-110" />American Idol has grown into the ultimate reality show that gives musicians with a dream the chance to actually make something of themselves.  This season’s winner, Lee DeWyze made the most of the opportunity and has set himself up for quite the career.  And with songs already on Billboard charts, it is obvious his skills have drawn attention.</p>
<p><strong>How does it feel to have songs already on Billboard charts?</strong><br />
DeWyze is a rather small-town kind of guy, so anything outside of the paint shop is impressive.  To hear that his debut song “Beautiful Day” that he did a cover off of U2 is at #12 is something he will never forget.  But at the end of the day, he looks forward to the album he will be making and everything the future has in stock. </p>
<p><strong>What were previous Idol winners like?</strong><br />
The down-to-earth attitude from DeWyze came out as he said it was intimidating to meet people who have gone through what he has and see everything they have accomplished.  Toward the end of the competition, he spent more time with past winners and said he received nothing more than positive feedback and support from them.</p>
<p><strong>What is it like performing songs outside of the comfort zone on Idol?</strong><br />
One of the aspects of American Idol that can be troubling for many contestants is the fact that you are required to perform songs in various genres throughout the competition.  This can be difficult for someone who is a true country artist or rocker or classical singer.  As for DeWyze, he said he took the song from each week and made it his own regardless of what the genre was and stayed true to himself.</p>
<p><strong>How did the cover song get chosen?</strong><br />
For the first time on American Idol, the finalists were required to select a cover song that would be their debut track.  DeWyze opted to go with U2’s Beautiful Day, a song he says is one he has liked for some time and really enjoys.  Although it’s not his genre, he felt it represented him the best out of the songs that were presented to the contestants on the table. </p>
<p><strong>What can fans expect for the first album?</strong><br />
Although American Idol is an experience unlike anything else, the ultimate goal is to move on and become a true artist, something DeWyze anxiously awaits.  He says he would like to have a folk/rock album that has a little bit of an alternative vibe to it.  At the end of the day, he hopes his first album reaches out to a wide array of different people and is something all fans enjoy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://americanidolleedewyze.com/wp-content/uploads/dewyzeNBA-228x300.jpg" alt="" title="dewyzeNBA" width="228" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-106" />It truly is remarkable what a difference a single year can make for a person’s life.  American Idol season-nine winner Lee DeWyze will be the first to admit that after the remarkable change he has experienced.  To add to the glory and fame, he spent June 6th singing at the national anthem at the biggest stage of basketball, the NBA Finals. </p>
<p>Just a short period of time ago DeWyze was nothing more than an ordinary guy kicking it with his pals in Mt. Prospect, Illinois.  Fast forward a year and instead of watching the NBA Finals from a TV in a bar, he had a front-row seat to game two of the Los Angeles Lakers/Boston Celtics series.  </p>
<p>Of course, L.A.’s Staples Center was full of celebrities from Tom Cruise to Chris Rock to Jack Nicholson.  DeWyze made his presence felt immediately with a remarkable performance of the national anthem.  This was his first performance at a major event since winning Idol and there truly is no better way to get the feet wet than at a live event in L.A. </p>
<p>This unforgettable moment for the season-nine winner was something that has actually been shared by nearly all American Idol winners in the past since 2004.  The championship games have included performances from Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, David Cook and Kris Allen.</p>
<p>After performing at the American Idol finale, the screaming 20,000 NBA fans at the Staples Center probably seemed like nothing.  Then again, it is not often you get to perform in front of some of the greatest stars in Hollywood all at once.  Regardless, it was terrific practice for this summer’s American Idols Live! Tour, which will take place in 49 different markets.  </p>
<p>The tour will begin on July 1 in Auburn Hills at the Palace in Michigan and will go through September 16 where it will wrap up in Portland, Maine.  DeWyze will be accompanied by the top 10 finalists from this season where they will reward fans with a real treat.</p>
<p>If singing at the NBA championships was not enough, he also made his official debut on the Billboard Digital Songs chart.  Although it was not a number one hit, not yet anyway, it is nothing DeWyze says he is too worried about. </p>
<p>This was the first year that American Idol had the finalists perform a cover song for the finale, in which DeWyze did a cover of U2’s “Beautiful Day.”  This hit the charts at #12 while he had four other remakes from the show that were in the top 200.  Not bad for someone who was nothing more than a paint store clerk just a year ago.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="crystal_bowersox_top5_800x600" src="http://americanidolleedewyze.com/wp-content/uploads/crystal_bowersox_top5_800x600-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />Many people had never heard of Crystal Bowersox before American Idol.  American Idol has paved the way for many up and coming stars to find a platform to break out in the tough music industry.  Crystal Bowersox was discovered solely on the show and she performed as a street performer before her American Idol debut.  She had very solid performances on the show and many people watching at home fell in love with Crystal and her amazing voice.</p>
<p>If you are a fan of American Idol, you know that season 9 was an unforgettable season.  With judges Simon Cowell, and Ellen DeGeneres, there was never a dull moment.  Many people tuned in just to see Crystal perform and there was much speculation that she would be the next American Idol.  While she did not win the competition, she did come in second as the runner up and this has bee known to help launch the careers of many other stars.</p>
<p>Lee Dewyze was the American Idol winner of season 9 and this is something that many people following Crystal Bowersox were very surprised about.  With all of the positive feedback she received from the notoriously hard to please, Simon Cowell, it was thought that Crystal would win the entire competition, but as soon as it was announced that she was the runner up a record deal was created for her with Jive Records and she immediately signed this deal the very next day after American Idol was completed.</p>
<p>Crystal Bowersox admires Janis Joplin greatly and this is reflected in her music style.  She has a very distinct smoky voice, like the late Janis Joplin and this may be the reason behind her love of Janis.   Crystal Bowersox was raised by a modest family in Ohio and she is a twin.  Her twin brothers name is Carl and it is unknown if she has any other brothers or sisters.  She does have a son named Tony that she raises on her own and this is some of the inspiration behind her drive and determination to make it big in the music business.  Being a single mother can be a very hard challenge and with tools like American Idol, Bowersox may be able to break the trend that is often associated with single mothers.</p>
<p>Crystal Bowersox had a relationship when she first auditioned for American Idol, and he is seen on her audition tapes, but it is said that right before her final performance they broke up just hours before she took the stage.  It may never be known if this factor affected her performance and she has of yet, has not publicly commented on these events.  She was also hospitalized right before the end of American Idol for complications of Type 1 Diabetes, but she recovered quickly and went on to complete all of the performances that were expected of her.</p>
<p>This impressed the judges greatly and helped others watching that are dealing with the same illness to realize that anything can be possible with drive and determination.  She put a face to an illness that affects many people and showed that you can do anything with determination including overcoming Diabetes and not letting it stop you from getting the things you want in life.</p>
<p>Crystal Bowersox has continued to see some success with her American Idol preview.  She has been a big success on ITunes and continues to promote and sell her single.  Many people are now following this notorious star and waiting to see where she takes her career next.  Her days as a street performer are over and she can propel her career in any direction she chooses.  American Idol is a great platform to help performers find their big breakout moment and the odds are we all will be hearing much more about Crystal Bowersox in the future.  There are many opportunities out there for her to showcase her powerful voice and she already has an amazing following of loyal fans that love and support her.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://americanidolleedewyze.com/wp-content/uploads/american-idol-2010-image-300x224.jpg" alt="" title="american-idol-2010-image" width="300" height="224" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-55" />Lee Dewyze has become a name that everyone recognizes and this recognition is due to his win on the ninth season of American Idol.  Many people do not know that Lee had albums out with an independent label before he found with success with the American Idol win.  Lee was not born into the limelight and he was leading what some would call a very ordinary life before his involvement with the Idol mania.  Lee had extraordinary talents that begin to shine at a young age and this is what helped to shape his musical career from a very young age.  </p>
<p>Lee Dewyze was born in Illinois and he tried out for American Idol at the Chicago try outs of the ninth season.  Lee started singing at a very early age, and in addition to singing, he also plays the drums, guitar and piano.  This makes him extremely versatile and he has said he has the most interest in the rock genre of music, specifically grunge, and alternative.  He had a band before he entered the American Idol competition and his band was called the Dewyze band.  This band had some success without outside help.  </p>
<p>Lee was discovered by a writer for the Chicagoan when he was only 17 years of age.  He was performing for a small group at a party in someone’s home and the writer happened to be there and helped him to get the attention he needed to take his career somewhere.  </p>
<p>Lee Dewyze is now signed with RCA Records and 19 Entertainment.  He quickly signed once he won American Idol and this deal will help him quickly reach the fame status very quickly.  He was beloved on Idol and many people are interested in what he is going to do next.  He is currently traveling with other American Idol competitors and this is going on in 2010.  Many of the major cities will be visited and this is a great way to see Lee if you were not able to attend an actual American Idol taping.  </p>
<p>A funny fact about Lee Dewyze is that until he was discovered by American Idol he worked at a paint salesman for a paint store.  This is something that many people are unaware of, but to many it makes him much more human and relatable to others.  There are many stars out there that were born into the limelight and they are much harder to relate to then a person, who had to work hard for a living at some point in their life.  Many American Idol watchers made the vote for him each week and this is what not only kept him in the competition, but also lead to his success.  </p>
<p>Lee Dewyze has been known to love Cat Stevens, Eric Clapton, Ben Harper, and Simon Garfunkel.  These have been the musical influences in his life that has helped to shape his career and the music that he wants to make.  These are the musicians that he has always listened to and grew up with.  Lee Dewyze was born in 1986 and the music he gets most excited about is classic to him.   </p>
<p>Lee Dewyze is a name that you are just beginning to hear about and it is clear that he has a long future in the music industry.  He is doing now, what he loves to do and he has had this talent from a young age.  With his major record deal and his awesome talent, many people will learn more about this musician and his music will become main stream.  Many people watched him rise to the top on American Idol and are now ready to see what he can do on his own.  If you are not an American Idol fan you may be surprised at the rock and roll feel that Lee exudes and this is not the pop music that you may have thought it was.</p>

Bowersox received fond attention during her audition and her momentum climbed from there.  Although she did not win American Idol, she was the runner up and this has been known to launch many careers.  Many people voted for her each week and this helped to make her even more popular.  She is not a stereotypical idol and this may have added to her appeal while she was on the show.</p>
<p>It seems that the pop star has a distinct look and Crystal Bowers does not fit this typical look.  She has tattoos and a more edgy look and this is something that American Idol does not see that often.  Many people are drawn to her for possibly being herself, rather then getting caught up in the hype that can lead to someone doing things that are unlike their original self.  Crystal stayed true to who she was and this may have helped to make her a household name.  Rather then going with the grain, she stood out a little and this helped her to get noticed.</p>
<p>What many people do not know about Crystal Bowersox is that she grew up on a farm in Ohio and she lived attended school in Ohio for the early and teenage years of her life.  She later moved to Chicago and she often performed her music on the street and made money on the side this way.  She attended a school for performing arts while she still resided in Ohio and this may have laid the foundation for her career late in life.  </p>
<p>Crystal Bowersox has always had a passion for music and in addition to singing, she also plays the guitar and harmonica and later learned how to play the piano.  This makes her a well versed entertainer and she has many musical skills to draw from.  She describes herself as a folk rock, or blues singer and many of her inspirations include Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, and Bonnie Raitt.  These were her early influences as a child and helped her to nurture her voice in this alluring way.  </p>
<p>During her stint on American Idol Crystal Bowersox became very close to quitting at one point.  She closely analyzed the situation and her commitment became stronger then ever when she made the commitment to stay.  This is not the first milestone that Crystal would overcome during Idol and right before her last performance of American Idol; her and her boyfriend broke up.  She went on and performed that evening and you would have never known that she was in this situation just hours before taking stage.  </p>
<p>One of the most raved about songs she performed on American Idol was “People Get Ready”, and this is the moment when many people begin to pay more attention to Crystal Bowersox.  She also performed “Bobby McGee” on the show and received rave reviews.  Anyone that watches American Idol knows that the judging can be rather harsh, and Crystal wowed the judges time and time again.  This can be a hard feat for many, and Crystal always took the judges criticism to heart and it reflected in her next performance.  </p>
<p>Even though Crystal Bowersox lost to Lee Dewyze, she was the runner up and has experienced many of the benefits that come with being involved in this type of show.  If you keep your eyes and ears open you will be hearing much more from Crystal and she received a record deal the day after she completed Idol. Her career is in the beginning phases and she will quickly launch to the top of her game and she will become even more then a house hold name.  She was quickly accepted from her very first audition and America has loved watching her blossom into a star in front of their very eyes.</p>
