American Idol - Season 9

Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze sang three songs apiece this week. Each did a solid job, but Crystal put on the best two performances. We hope she wins.

Casey James made it clear this week: he has no business in the finals. Lee DeWyze put on the best pair of performances, as we’re excited for him to (hopefully) take on Crystal next week.

American Idol went to the movies this week, as contestants sang duets and performed individually. As usual, Crystal was the best.

It was Frank Sinatra week on American Idol. This was great news for Lee and Mike; not so much for poor Casey James.
