Rumours

So I heard some buzz on the internet that Lee Dewyze and Lacey Brown might be dating.

I am not sure the credibility of the source.  I am not stating this as accurate information, because I have NO idea.  I first heard a little bit of this buzz was the week she was in the audience (I think it was the week Didi Benami got bounced; or maybe the week before).

Anyhow.  I know nothing on this matter.

HOWEVER.

I did happen to notice last night that, for the top 12 group number (which was kind of odd in and of itself to randomly reunite the top 12 before the finale, but whatever), there was one part where Lee and Lacey were paired together (all the guys and girls were coupled off at this point).  They appeared to have some kind of connection.   Maybe it was just getting into the character of the song or good acting or something like that.

Does anyone else know anything about this?   Are Lee Dewyze and Lacey Brown dating?  Is this just a rumor?  If it's a rumor, where did the rumor come from?  Your thoughts?

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!
