Lee Dewyze on American Idol 4/27/2010 Show: Top 6 Performances

Lee Dewyze performs on American Idol Tonight 4/27/2010 however competition has heated up - Shania gave good advice, maybe Lee should have followed it.

Lee went first tonight on Idol and he did a pretty good job after being coached by Shania Twain this week. He sang, "You're Still the One", as he played his guitar. I like Lee's gruffness and I think that Ellen DeGeneres comment that he reminds her of Bob Seger was right on.

Lee was told by Shania to slow it down because it was a love song and she wanted to feel the emotion coming from him as he sang the song. She had him put away his guitar and sing it with just a piano accompaniment. I wonder what it would have been like if he had decided to leave his guitar behind.

Lee still rocked tonight, and I struggled with my votes - the competition is getting hot. I thought for sure Aaron would blow it tonight but he did well, and so did Casey James. That kind of shook up my votes and it put Lee at number 4 with my votes. He's been running in the top 3 or 4 and tonight he showed that he was an artist, changing it up a bit but after reviewing everyone's performance I thought Aaron and Casey were better for the guys.

Lee has a career in music if he wants it. He still needs a confidence boost, and he learns to smile a bit more. Kara DioGuardi loved his smile, whereas Simon commented that he thought his facial features were a bit weird during the song.

Randy said, "This is one of my favorite songs of all times, and you found your sweet spot and did a pretty good job of it." Ellen said, "You did better than a pretty good job. It always sounds like your version and you couldn't look cuter. I say all aboard the Shania Twain." Kara said, "The sound of your voice makes it sound so relevant. Look how far you have come. That's a love song and I don't know if you related to the love portion and you cracked a few times so maybe you were feeling it. Simon said, " I agree with what everybody said. It was the perfect song for you."
