Blake Lewis: 'The biggest Idol set-up ever'

Ummm, hello? This sounds like pre-emptive sour-graping to me.

From USA Today:

They came from afar to battle it out on one stage. Different voices with different styles … THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL. Hahaha. This week's show came down to the three top finalists: Crystal Bowersox, Casey James and Lee DeWyze. Each contestant had to sing two songs, one they picked and one the judges picked. This night usually is a great show as far as song choices. Tonight, I was unimpressed.

...

This reminds me of the over-hyping of Adam Lambert last year. I'm not mad at Lee, mind you, just the fact that Idol has practically arranged for him to get into the finale. It's not fair to Crystal and Casey to give Lee a production that big at the end of the show. Booo!
