I thought the same thing, but never heard anyone else mention the obvious chemistry. Chrystal will do fine, but Lee has a bigger career ahead, and will have his pick of many women.

Lee's voice is just one of many -- nothing any different than Chris who won last year. He will be forgettable. Crystal's voice was unique and just like Daughtry (who didn't want the Idol title), she will soar above Lee. I will be one of the first to buy her CD. Too many of the teens vote on "looks" and NOT vocals. They did to limit the amount of votes per phone line like Dancing with the Stars does. I voted for Crystal, but I'm not a teen that can stay up all night voting -- I need to go to work in the morning. A year from now -- Crystal will be the TRUE IDOL. She has a UNIQUE voice and that's what will sell.

That was really lame of Beau to do that right before the finale!

Thank goodness she broke up with that nerd! Yes, you could see there was some chemistry when them 2 did that duet together. I really do think that Crystal does have the hots for Lee. Now both will be going on the summer tour this summer, who knows what might happen. I think it was best for her not to be the winner, then she can do whatever she wants. I hope there is a future with her and Lee, they sure make a good couple.

Here is a news flash...Lee is GAY!! DUH!!!

My thoughts exactly. Good for her!

If it was true love, it's doubtful this would have caused the split. My guess is she'll make her way back to him after she has her brief fling with the fame monster. She just doesn't have what it takes to make it big in this day and age. Thanks to Idol though, she may be able to make a decent living working the bars and coffeehouses who cater to the style of music she is into.

I think that is a very stupid thing to say. I am a man but I always discuss big decisions in our lives with my wife. What is wrong with consulting with your loved one? Absolutely nothing.
Obviously Christal agrees because they came to a mutual decision to split.....

Yes, never let a MAN influence your decisions. How supremely selfish a statement. Aren't good relationships based on give-and-take? I feel sorry for your boyfriend (or girlfriend I would guess)

Janet:

Now, a duo similar to Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham would be something to see. Stevie is an incredible songwriter/singer and their relationship had a depth and intensity I doubt we will see anytime soon.

Yeah...Stevie Nicks and "depth" not to mention she was also one of the first ones to give a 12 year old Mackenzie Phillips heroin, had sex with the husband of her bandmate leading to the break-up of Fleetwood Mac and has the voice of a shrill parrot. But yeah, Nicks has total depth.

Plus...all the good songs from fleetwood mac were written by Lindsay.

When Casey James left the show, Crystal said she had a crush on him and her boyfriend knew about it. I don't think she's attracted to Lee.

I watched all of the IDOL shows and I never saw where Lee could sing well. I think there were other guys who were a lot better, but they did not choose the right songs to perform and lost out because of that. Lee was terrible on the last show and Crystal was great. I do not see where he deserver to win and according to the judges reactions on the last show, he did not.

I agree there both great and they will make it big i will buy both there cd's,I'm old and i voted. I dont like what people are saying about the teens who voted the teens are mainly the ones who buy the cd's,some people on here are acting like the kids just voted cause lee is handsome well i'm sure that is not the reason,and i'm sure they didnt stay up all night just to vote, they have school. crystal and Lee will both have cd's out,buy the one you like. again Congrats to Lee you won cause you are great no make some great music.
