Idol fellow Judge Randy Jackson called Season 9, the season with the biggest talent. In fact the talent was huge with many talented singers having to go home like Michael Lynch, Katie Lee singing out his heart after being crowned American Idol 2010 Stevens, Siobhan Magnus and Andy Garcia. The season was full of its share of drama and controversy with the show bidding goodbye to the man who played a huge role in its success – Simon Cowell. Simon’s departure was celebrated in grand fashion when he was paid tribute by former winners of the show and with a surprise perfor- mance from Paula Abdul. It was not without humor when former sparring partner Ryan Seacrest introduced a tribute video full of humour. Simon Cowell, easily the most controversial of the judges with his sar- castic comments and his blunt criti- cism played a huge role in drawing people to the reality show. He will be sorely missed by his fellow panelists and by viewers alike.

  • Lee Dewyze Biography FRAMES
    Lee DeWyze Biography FRAMES Lee DeWyze formally launches the pivotal next stage of what is already a high-profile musical career with his Vanguard Records debut – Frames. The 27-year-old DeWyze seriously considered calling the album “Silver Lining,” after the hook-laden song because that phrase succinctly sums up where he’s been and where he’s headed. “This past year, I hunkered down and wrote an album,” the Chicago native explains. “I wanted to take it back to what I’m really about, which is writing emotionally charged, meaningful songs. It wasn’t like I wanted to find a label and then decide what kind of album to make. I knew what kind of album I wanted to make and knew I could make. It’s going back to the kind of music I’ve always loved. I grew up listening to Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel—folk-based acoustic music. Don’t get me wrong—my experience on the show was great. But for someone like me and the kind of music I make, that only takes you so far. It feels really good to get back to the grass roots of what I’m about. The way I see it, everything that’s happened throughout my career has happened so that I can make this record.” The show DeWyze is referring to is American Idol, which he won in 2010. Ironically, the vast majority of the hordes of fans he made during Season Nine have no idea that this powerful and expressive singer is at his core an uncommonly gifted and distinctive songwriter as well as an accomplished musician.
