American Idol 2010 Results and Winner
So the American Idol 2010 Results: The Winner is Lee DeWyze!
Lee DeWyze wowed audiences and judges alike with his renditions of many famous songs, none more so than Hallelujah, the Jeff Buckley version. On Crystal’s part she has remained try to herself and also forged her own path, often taking what the judges advised and binning it almost immediately.
Whether American Idol will continue to draw in the ratings it has is debatable as the talent on show this season was markedly down on previous years.
What do you think of the American Idol 2010 results? After Crystal’s performance on last night’s show, do you think she deserved to take second prize? Did Lee deserve to take the competition?
Give us your opinions on the American Idol 2010 results and winner: Lee DeWyze!

The guy wins, and still, on the last song, of the last show, can’t sing a song in tune. America deserves this out of 100,000 contestants? America is pretty low obviously on what you desire for talent. BOO!
It is an absolute shame that for 2 years in a row the American idol came in second place.This year Crystal Bowersox was denied her rightful place as American Idol. She was by far the most talented idol I have seen in along time.
Is there no justice for talent! It is so unfair to have young viewers and voters respond mostly to male image and not talent. I will never again watch idol.
Frigging awesome!!!!
I personly think he is far more talented, more appealing, and so did America. If she is what America wants, she would have won!!.. America has spoken!!… Quit crying, they both will do great!!… Life is too short to be so bitter!!
HE IS THE HOTTER OF THE TWO. HE CAN BE PUBLICIZED EASIER. OBVIOUSLY CRYSTAL WAS MORE TALENTED VOCALLY. BUT LEE CAN BE MARKETED EASIER.
Girls voting,guy wins. Shame,Crystal is way better artist!
2nd place gets a hit first place?
Very Disappointing Results as Crystal Deserve to WIN ! She sings much much better and looks better …. Sigh !!!!
Well they did it again! Getting it wrong two years in a row.
Another failure for American Idol voters.
I agree with Elaine. It seems that someone with a ton of talent and a slightly different look or lifestyle cannot win this. I think it’s time to stop watching, especially with Simon, truthful for the most part Simon, leaving. I know Crystal will have a career, probably better than Lee’s, but a bit of class coming from the public would be such a treat.
I get so sick of these 13 yrs and below, dominating the voting on these show. Last year a whole state cheated with the help of AT&T to deny the rightful winner. This year, talent loses again. As a matter of fact, there were three or four other contestants who deserved to be in the final before Lee (I can’t sing two notes in a row on key) DeWyze. I feel bad for Crystal, but unlike lee, she will have several contract offers begging for her signature. Like someone already said, this was my last time viewing.
Crystal sings much much much better. I don’t know why she didn’t win.
Another disappointing final…..
well, how does a singer with a kid, be an idol to america?
Hey COMMONSENSE, last year it was probably, “How can a gay guy, be an idol to America?” You probably wouldn’t Big Mike to win either, would you? Can we spell Bigot? Take your Republican comments back to Arizona and you’ll be in heaven, shaking people down who are a darker skin color and demanding to see their papers!
Oh pleeeaaaase…..if American voters can just listen with their heart and vote with their brains Crystal would have been a sure Idol winner…
crystal was 100x better in every way .i am not ganna watch idol again espesially after simon gone
No wonder Simon decided to quit. Was rooting for Crystal, and it was pretty obvious on last night show that Lee didn’t performed very well. Man this suxs big time. -_-”
Ewwwww dislike dislike!… Either majority of Americans are stupid or the vote was rigged to get the maximum profit for the production company. Either way i guess Crystal will be more successful :)
I hate to watch american idol again. show name better change to american model show…..
then most of the girls can vote to handsome guy/s.
Here in New Zealand we had a delayed feed, although we could have cheated and looked at the net. We didn’t. I’m glad in a way Crystal was second, it is the death knell if you win. He’s obviously a great guy but I wouldn’t give him a USA nickel (if I had one) as a subway busker. Don’t worry he will know that too. Life has a way of balancing things up, a lesson some politicians may learn in November..
First, Lee was sold to us as a paint store employee with a great voice and little singing experience (shy Lee). What American Idol didn’t tell us was about his two already produced albums (2007 & 2009) and contract for 3rd album that he had get a release from to appear on American Idol. Yes, his albums had went no where, but he was not the shy, inexperience, newly discovered singer/paint store employee that American Idol sold him as. If American Idol restricted voting to one person, one vote rule, then we have a different outcome. With the 10 to 15 year young girls voting 200 to 300 times for the guy that they think is cute makes the American Idol results more or less a Teeny Bopper Award not a true American Idol Award. American Idol needs to restrict voting to one person/one vote! It will substantially lower the vote count, but might make the American Idol Contest more fair and with better outcomes.
Pretty sad. A singer that can’t stay on pitch is like a drummer that can’t keep time. That is their only objective. Everything else is just bonus. Crystal is probably one of the most unique artists to come along in a while. I know she will do much better than Lee but it had to hurt to not win. I have been performing for thirty years and if I were Lee I would have been embarased to accept the title!
Friends and I have watched every season – and we are so disappointed when people could not see the raw and constant talent of Melinda Doolittle – and I believe every season since has become a popularity contest and no longer a talent contest. Crystal, you ARE the winner. Anyone who cannot see that, does not know music or artistry. Lee, you will be great, but experience and training will make a huge difference. Either way, I and many friends will no longer watch this program as it is simply that – whoever has the most votes (popularity) will win regardless of talent. It’s all about who Americcas like or do not like. It has absolutely nothing to do with talent. Crystal, I’m waiting for your CD’s and your tours. Best of luck in your adventures. A friend from Canada.
im shocked and wont be watching again once simon gone thats it but love randy etc dont want reality stars judging please they cant sing never mind judge robbie be great or kylie and the voting got to be a fix crystal has been great form day one
I’m still upset over Melinda Doolittle and Adam Lambert not winning.
Chrystal’s voice captured us- it was absolutely breathtaking. Lee sounded mediocre at best. Nothing about his voice resonates with us. Chrystal clearly outsang Lee. I understand why Simon is leaving the show. it has become inundated with teenybopper airheads who vote based on image rather than talent. I am finished watching American Idol- Chrystal’s voice wasn’t even in the same ballpark as Lee’s.
Sad and disappointing. I will be retiring with Simon. I thought Crystal and Casey would be there until the end. Lee was okay, and his voice was interesting at times, but he wasn’t consistent. At times, he couldn’t carry at tune, even on the final show. Crystal and Casey always carried a tune, were both better guitar players, and were much more interesting than Lee. Of course America screwed up. How can we expect them to make the right decision? Somehow, George Bush was elected president for EIGHT years! The world was laughing at us then, too. So, yes, America has proved it can make a big mistake. It strikes again!
