More on Lee DeWyze



Well, actually, some questions. Let's have a little discussion forum.

Things I know about him:

--He's from Mt. Prospect
--He's a paint salesman (where at? true value? ace hardware? someone enlighten me!)
--My good friend Laura's younger sister Michele is good friends with Sarah DeWyze, who is Lee's sister (talk about six degrees of Kevin Bacon) (Meanwhile, if Sarah DeWyze googles herself regularly, she is probably incredibly weirded out by me. Eh, it happens.)
--Some of my fbook friends know and like him

Things I (or others) wonder about him:

--Does he have a girlfriend? Is she from Mt. Prospect? Do I know her? (Don't get me wrong; he's cute, but a little young for me)
--Why did he get transferred to Forest View? (controversial, I know)

Well, here's on other thing I know about him for sure - he HAS to make the top three for idol. Right now it's looking promising, but look at what happened with Alexis Grace of last season, or even LaKisha Jones of season 6. (I realize it's shameful I can make these references.) Anyhow. The top three idol contestants traditionally go back to their home town. There's then typically a big parade/to do in said hometown. This might be just what it takes to get me back to Mount Prospect.

Editor's Sidenote: So I just found out, online, whilst searching for info on Lee, that on Wednesday, Ryan Seacrest 'tweeted' that Lacey Brown was voted off American Idol after the show aired live (but prior to the show airing on the West Coast). Hey, the kid's only been doing the show for nine years - cut him some slack.

One More Sidenote: My mom's thoughts on Lee (adapted from a text): I like the hometown boy the best and not just cause that.

There you have it!

Nice investigative work! I think it's funny how we all see "Forest View" and think ooooh what did he do. Hahaha.

Runner Honey - welcome. I am originally from MP; I went to Hersey. I graduated a bit ago. I know there are plenty of signs all over MP requesting votes for Lee. I will be live blogging from all the festivities if Lee makes the final 3 and goes through the whole 'American Idol contestants go home' episode. I am quite curious how things are at PHS right now with their distinguished alum making it big.
