You know, I sometimes wonder if Sauli has watched all of Adam's Idol performances - either before or after he met Adam! ![](http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-think005.gif)

I feel sorry for the guy: LeeDeWyze Lee DeWyze by Squirrely007 Hey guys, no I'm not performing at the Finale. I wasn't asked to . A lot of questions so I thought I'd fill you in. Talk to you soon ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I may be in the minority of one, but I don't feel sorry for Lee. He is like tens of thousands of other struggling singer/songwriters with guitars around the country who search long and hard for gigs in local clubs and bars hoping for their big break. Lee got his break -- although I don't see anything unique or extra talented about him that I haven't seen in many local performers who hold down day jobs while trying to book gigs on Friday and Saturday night. He got exposure in front of 30 million viewers week after week on Idol, toured the country as the headliner on the Idol tour, made a record, and now has steady work doing what he loves to do. It is up to him to make the most out of this rare opportunity and these wonderful contacts he now has. If his talent, skill, originality, and charisma don't win him a large following and music business acclaim, that's squarely on him. I know that sounds callous, but that is the music biz, guys. I checked out what he is up to currently, and he has a summer tour booked in what looks like mostly college campuses and clubs around the country. I watched a couple of tour performances on YT, and he has the typical WGWG line up; himself with guitar at the mic, with a keyboard backup and a drummer. That lineup and performance style fits the venues in which he is booked. Tens of thousands of singers/guitar players/piano players dream of hitting it big and becoming a star. They are lucky if they can find consistent work in a club on weekends. I know. I have a sister who is immensely musically talented, and has a gig two nights a week at a local bar, which is constantly threatening to close. She is one of a handful of piano stylists who even work in her town. That's reality. Lee has had the dream with Idol, he has had the wide exposure, the contacts, the contracts, the opportunities. That's all very good. If the producers of Idol do not think that his performance will enhance their big 10th anniversary finale, that's just a business decision. I don't think they "owe" him an appearance. Well, since you put it that way - I have to agree.

Kapsiz, what are you doing up so early on West coast? Enjoyed your vid and I can tell how proud you are of your family. She is quite good, and I hope it works out well for her. I wake & sleep at odd hours because I'm going through a "change". Not fun! Whether I'm Hot or Cold has no relation to the temperature in the room either! Trying to go through this without drugs/hormones!

For all Adam friends in Sweden - my nephew Justin Trejo is living in Stockholm, Sweden now & playing Professional Baseball for Stockholm Baseboll. He's #24 - an Outfielder & Lefty Pitcher! He's been doing great! He's a great hitter also! Can't get UStreams of the games though! Would you keep me posted if you follow the games? I'd really appreciate it - you can PM me about that! Thanks!

OT - My niece Brooke sent this to me (she's almost 20 & is moving to Southern CA to continue JC in Santa Monica - then to Long Beach State U) She's danced since 3 years old and hopes to find more opportunities for dance down south! (I posted some of her dance stuff a while ago) I hope she makes it - she teaches dance here in Castro Valley! (Not her in this, but this is the stuff she does - she told me to watch cuz it's great - I agree! (Been going to dance recitals and dance competitions for 20 years - seeing Brooke & Brittanie, her older sister, dance and compete) Just felt the need to share. Hope it's ok :-/ ~
