Like twenty million other people, I watched the season finale of "American Idol" a few nights ago and really enjoyed the show. I was pleasantly surprised that my favorite from the Top Twelve, Lee, was the big winner. I thought for sure that the very talented Crystal Bowersox would probably win. Well, Crystal has a unique sound and seems like a terrific person, and she has tons of loyal fans, so I'm sure that she will have a wonderful career!
I felt so happy for Lee, because not only does he have a great voice and an appealing musical style, but he seems like a genuinely kind soul. How amazing that a young kid with a dream can go from working as a clerk in a paint store to being an entertainer with millions of fans all over the world in just a matter of months! I hope that Lee's win will strengthen his family's love, warm the hearts of his friends, and inspire countless creative people to take a risk and follow their passion!
I must also confess here that aside from rooting for Lee because of his musical gifts, I was also a big fan of his because I think he's really cute! He has such beautiful, soulful eyes, and his lopsided smile is just adorable. As a shy person myself, it's always inspiring to see a fellow shy person break out of their comfort zone and do well in an extravert-dominated world! My prayer for Lee is that he will remain grounded and never lose his sense of integrity, that through his music he will have a positive impact on many lives, and that he will always appreciate all his fans, especially those who are gay or lesbian! God bless you, Lee, and once again, congratulations!
