Well I guess it's a matter of taste, isn't it? After all, it was the votes of the fans that determined the winner, right? Allegedly anyway. But I sure wouldn't say that Casey is a better singer than Lee. And while Siobhan is clearly much more of a vocal gymnast that either of them, that doesn't necessarily mean that most people would rather listen to her sing than either Casey or Lee. I mean, technically, I suppose that Celine Dion is a "better" singer than Bob Dylan, yet I wouldn't walk across the street to hear Celine, but I own many Bob Dylan albums and have never gotten tired of listening to him.

Simon favored Lee from the beginning and you know how much pull Simon must have, wonder if he favored Kris last season. I'm really disgusted with how it has gone the past few years, might stop watching it because it certainly is not a "singing contest". If it were, Lee would have been gone before Sibonne and Casey.
Self-righteousness is a loud din raised to drown the voice of guilt within us.

Lee didn't show greatness. His singing was at 90% level.Crystal had three great performances. Singing at 100% level.I believe Crystal would have won against Casey, but... does anyone else thing Lee's last weeks performance of 'Hallelujah' (the stage, 7 backup singers, the excessive down lighting fro heaven and such) was used to make him look better than the others to ensure he was in the top two? Crystal and Casey didn't get all that pumped up assistance. I was beginning to wonder if fireworks would shoot and acrobats would fall from the sky or ribbons and balloons would fall like a presidential election!Just seems odd. Two other friends mentioned it as well. Each person should have gotten the same amount of 'extras' so it is just about singing, as Simon says 'it is a singing competition'. Well, yes there are something to be said about performance and stage presence, but not all that hoopla. Thoughts anyone?
