A HUGE congratulations goes out to Lee DeWyze, who beat Crystal Bowersox last night to become our Season Nine American Idol!!

I LOVE this moment!

Both BigSis and I have loved Lee right from the beginning and are thrilled to see him take the title of American Idol! I love the fact that Lee was a normal hometown guy working hard in a local paint store just months ago and now he's our newest American Idol! The fact that he was supposed to be the “underdog” made it even sweeter to hear his name announced. I'm a sap for a happy ending!

I've also loved Crystal from the beginning and was glad to see her take the runner-up spot. She's got amazing talent and I'm sure she'll have a very successful career despite the fact that she didn't win the title. The duet that Lee and Crystal sang together is one of my favorite performances of the season.

Congratulations again to Lee! He's gotta be the happiest guy on the planet today! 🙂
