Lee DeWyze — Simple Man (karaoke cover)

1 – Lees so frickin awesome! Someone at Idol just needs to give him a beer to perform with. I love how relaxed and chill he is… He’s gonna win! Just watch! With “DeWyze Ones” supporting him.. we’re gonna take him ALL the way to the end.

-Jo (DeWyze One #1)

2 – He sounds much much better outside the American Idol, hmmm is he that nervous there? But still I looooooove him so much, I know he’s incredible like he is heeere 😀 so comfy
3 – First, Lee is pure talent. He’s a breath of fresh air – just love him! Second….everyone’s talking about how great the Shinedown version is? Shinedown? I’m not old, but I feel like I am with some of these comments – kids, use google…there’s just no beating the original.
4 – lk1407 thanks :)
5 – I have seen Lee perform this song before while putting forth his best effort. Incredible. With that said If you gave him time to record his cover in the studio I am confident his version would be up to par with Shinedown. Better? Probably not b/c it would b a bit of a different sound so the two would be great in their own ways. However if Lee does decide to take this one live on Idol mark my words–he will kill it!! I know Lee personally and know he is capable.
6 – AWESOME!!! i loved it… He is def going to win American Idol… Hes got my vote
7 – I love him he is ammmazing!!!!
8 – Nice! I wouldn’t mind hearing this on idol! Lee’s my favorite to win for sure
9 – This is one of my favorites of all time. So down to Earth. I never watch American Idol but im glad i did this year. Lee is amazing. Love the voice and the pulling up the pants thing is cute. You dont need a belt dude. haha
10 – if you know him personally tell him not to cover that song on idol. i like him, but anyone who is a shinedown fan like me will tell you that noone can win in comparison to Brent – even Daughtry tried and didn’t get so good results :)
11 – Love it!!!
12 – and it’s a video from my iPhone, which I’m sure doesn’t do Lee any bit of justice.
13 – He’s singing the Shinedown version here… And to be fair, we were at a bar drinking and singing karaoke… Not on a stage with 30 million viewers…. I’m confident if he sang this for Idol, he would put some more “finesse” into it!
14 – sorry it’s spelled lynyrd skynyrd :) can never get his name right

the song is too big for his voice, he goes off couple of times on high notes (and those are the money notes).

It has been also covered by brilliant Brent Smith from Shinedown – and noone can top that.

15 – lynard skynard

this was also covered by brent smith from shinedown.

16 – who the original singer of this song? j/w hes got a really good voice!
17 – ive heard the shinedown version. i love it. lee’s version is cool too.
18 – He has a TON, and I mean a TON of potential.

He just needs to tweak it and perfect it. He definitely can win this competition. The talent is not very good this year on AI and he is one of the few bright stars in the bunch.

19 – Hozz, thanks for the support, but you’ve obviously never heard the Shinedown cover. Lee puts his own twist on everything he does and is simply amazing!! I think your favorites may change in the coming weeks. Either way, Happy viewing :)
20 – I absolutely <3 him!!!!!!!!!!!!!
21 – He has such a strong voice. I want him to win this competition
22 – hes puttin to much on this song its not meant for that. love him on american idol. but andrew dimi and crystal are my favs
