Lee DeWyze On Thursday 26th May 2011, @leedewyze said: Hey everyone, first off I want to say congrats to Scotty & Lauren, awesome job. Well done Scotty! Secondly, just for the record... I was not asked to be involved in the Finale. It wasn't until about 2 minutes before they announced that Nigel had approached me and asked if he could "borrow" me for a second. I didnt feel a last second jump on stage was appropriate. It was Scotty's moment.I appreciate American Idol, and the opportunity it has given me. And the people who have made that show possible. I am not angry, or bitter etc. It was an amazing Finale, and I would have loved to be a part of it. I just wasnt asked.Good luck to all the Contestants and stay true to yourself. Thanks everyone for your support, tour coming up... Good times  I'll talk to you all soon. Love ya! Just stating the fact, which he himself mentioned in his twitlong, Lee was actually asked ... eventhough it's last minute or 2 minutes before the announcement.... Being asked with < 2 minutes before the final announcement, particularly when you're not sure its even appropriate and have no time to ask questions, isn't really "being asked". ETA: And really doesn't justify the nastiness of Nigel's tweet which was: |

Just a reminder. So You Think You Can Dance premieres tonight at 8 pm EDT on fox. Sasha Mallory auditioned, and we think made it thru at least to Vegas. If you want to check it out and look for her. (Might not be on tonight's show. Don't know which audition she went to or which is being played tonight.) Thanks, Cassie. I forgot about it! |

It looked like Adam and Sauli in the backround on the red carpet while billy bush was interviewing Carrie ..it was just for a few seconds..maybe someone will screencap it..then again, I've looked at so many pictures of the two of them today, it could be my imagination

I'm back a few pages, I thought I'd go ahead and post this link for anyone interested in a computer backup program. I get a pop up twice a day saying my files have been backed up. Here's a Mozy info link-

Nicer than I probably would have been. |

Agree, cookie, very classy and he emerges with integrity intact, unlike "dizzy"

It's just another insult piled on to the rest of them. |

How do we check how many articles were written about Adam from American Idol versus those actually involved? Doing a way quickie Google news search over the past 24 hours... "Adam Lambert" ~= 1,270 hits "Scotty McCreery" ~= 8,230 hits "Lauren Aliana" ~= 7,780 hits "American Idol" ~= 22,600 hits ETA: "Carrie Underwood" ~= 3,460 hits "Lee Dewyze" ~= 738 hits |

I think that tweet by Nigel is so transparent. He should have made arrangements well in advance of the show with Lee if he wanted him to present the award (which usually the host Ryan does anyway doesn't he?)
I think Lee made the right call.
