'American Idol': Simon and Randy predict Lee DeWyze will win season 9, but should they?
My question is: Should they? After all, I think it's fair to say neither Crystal or Lee has completely blown open the competition with back-to-back-to-back-to-back epicness, and with that in mind, I think tonight's six performances will — and should — have an impact on the final vote. So how come Simon and Randy couldn't just play it coy on their media tour, let the Tuesday night performance finale play out as organically and dramatically as possible, and then perhaps, when the final note's been sung and the phone lines are open, put their predictive skills on the line? I know, I know…it's hard to sit through 13 weeks of live performances and not have some kind of feeling about how the season will shake out. But shouldn't the judges be held to a different standard than the rest of us? By publicly putting their money (and their egos) on Lee, don't Randy and Simon now have a rooting interest in the guy? Will their "impartiality" be impaired tonight by their need to see their own predictions come true? It's certainly a question worth pondering. And as I go into my oxygen chamber snack tank to prepare for tonight's festivities, I turn the discussion over to you.
