It
was
a
very
close
contest
but
Lee
Dewyze
walked
away
with
the
American
Idol
title
at
the
end
of
the
day,
beating
fellow
contestant
Crystal
Bowersox.
Lee,
a
paint
salesman,
became
the
American
Idol
Finale
2010
Winner
with
51%
votes.
Both
Lee
and
Crystal
were
consistent
throughout
the
ninth
season
of
the
American
Idol.
However,
it
was
Lee
who
won
the
coveted
title
and
a
recording
contract
which
will
launch
his
version
of
U2's
Beautiful
Day.
He
overcame
initial
shyness
and
won
the
hearts
of
the
judges
and
the
audience
with
his
beautiful
singing.
The
American
Idol
Finale
2010
also
saw
the
exit
of
judge
Simon
Cowell,
who
has
been
the
backbone
of
the
talent
show
for
nine
years.
A
highlight
of
his
career
was
shown
at
the
function.
