LEE DEWYZE - FROM DUTCH BOY TO IDOL WINNER

Thanks Teddy! I am excited to read such good comments on the songs. Can't wait to hear his CD.

You can listen to Lee's debut single here:

I LOVE IT!!! He sounds awesome!

He does sound good. I do find it generic pop though and wished there wasn't so many other sounds/voices over his voice. Good song, it will probably do well for him.

Lyndsey got to hear four songs today at the 19E offices. Here's her review on them.

After listening to his single, I'd agree that it reminded me of Kris Allen's single.

Boy not me! I love this song!!! I did not like LLWD.

I just went to the downstairs computer where Rob has these awesome speakers attached to it and it sounded amazing! His voice sounds awesome! I am so excited now for the rest of the CD.

I went to Pulse and there are a lot of positive comments about the song and hit predictions and that is great because these people are NOT fans let me tell ya!

I didn't like LLWD either, but there was something about this song, I don't know what, reminded me of LLWD. I'm excited about hearing the CD too, to see what else he does!

Did Lee write that song? I'll have to listen to it again. I guess Michael spoiled me. I like Lee, but not as much as Michael.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!!

This reviewer gives the song a B+

Don't hate me......................but it sounds really average to me. Maybe I just need to listen to it more. The song itself is good.

The song is okay but I just can't get into it. There are times in that I can't even understand what he is saying. This song does not remind me of LLWD except in both are extremely fast in their lyrics.

I will listen it some more to see if my feeling toward it changes and it might be best to listen to it when I am in a better mood.

At least I'm not alone. I didn't mean it sounded like LLWD, just that somehow it reminded me of LLWD. It could be the tempo. It's a good 'general pop' song. I'm anxious to hear the other songs.

You can listen to clips from Lee's cd here. I listened to it and I like two of the songs and I will buy those two on Itunes when it comes out.

The two I like are "Stay Here" and "Me and My Jealousy"

The rest of the cd is okay but just not something I would listen to.

Shannon

Thank you so much!! Listening right now!!

I'll let you know what I think when I am done listening.

OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited now! I was going to buy it anyway since he is the local boy but I am thrilled that I am actually going to really play it and enjoy it!!!!!

I think he sounds awesome! He has the perfect recording voice for these types of songs!

From the snippets the only one I am not sure about is Dear Isabelle. The rest I loved!

I am so going to get this first week!!!!

Thank you again so much for bringing that link here!

I heard the full version of Live It Up yesterday. It was good. If you order from newburycomics.com you'll get an extra CD booklet that is signed by Lee himself. A lot of Idols seem to really like partnering with them the first time out. I've got signed CD booklets from both Kris, Allison and We Are The Fallen that way.

Oh I never heard of that site! I will check it out for sure!!

I love Live It Up!! I played it over and over this morning while I was on-line!

I've posted the link there for them before when the others had special offers on their CDs. I guess you can't remember everything. Selected memory and all that. LOL

Selected memory???

Try just plain old

Well whatever you want to categorize it as FC that's up to you.....................

Lee on Leno last night singing "Sweet Serendipity".
