'American Idol': Lee DeWyze's 'Beautiful Day' vs. Crystal Bowersox's 'Up to the Mountain' (VIDEO)
Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze face off on the final 'American Idol' performance show of the season, each singing a cover tune instead of the treacly original dreck of seasons past.DeWyze took a stab at U2's 'Beautiful Day' and struggled a bit, and his feedback from the judges was lukewarm at best (and Ellen's pandering doesn't count). But Bowersox gave an emotional performance of 'Up to the Mountain' by Patty Griffin that easily eclipsed DeWyze and got a rave of "outstanding" by the toughest judge on the panel, Simon Cowell.
Watch their final performances after the jump.
