Lee Dewyze Performance

As the American Idol season comes closer to the finale, it’s no surprise that the final few remaining contestants will need some extra tips and tricks to make it to the final round. This past week the theme was Elvis, and to prepare they each took on a mentoring session with Adam Lambert, the runner up of American Idol for last season.

Sure, the contestants all probably used Adam’s advice to aid their performances this week. But of the many great performances (and some not as great), Lee Dewyze seemed to stand out, aside from being the opening for Tuesday night’s show.

Taking on the song “A Little Less Conversation”, he began with a soulful rhythmic guitar strumming that would make you feel awkward for not moving to it in some way. The song moved on as his rock-style vocals, with the compliment of the guitar, gave the song his own taste without extra effort. His singing style seems to be in the likes of Chris Daughtry and David Cook with a certain signature rasp and toughness to it.

With Lee Dewyze’s performance, he gained positive response from all 4 judges. Randy saw Lee was ‘in the zone”, and Ellen thought he made it “sound like a brand new song”. Kara DioGuardi pointed out how she’d have liked Lee to “smile a little” and to “play”, while Simon didn’t seem to agree, stating it was “on the money, full stop”.

But all judgment aside, this Lee Dewyze performance ended on a dang good note.
