Lee DeWyze, who has been suffering through walking pneumonia, has chose the Cornelius Brothers’ Treat Her Like a Lady, which Usher calls “a special treat” (no pun intended, I’m sure).
And this was just the right move for Lee. He starts off soft, almost menacing, with just is guitar, and he turns the ’70s soul classic into a contemporary rock tune. I haven’t been that impressed with Lee so far — could it have been the illness — but this is the guy the judges seem to have been watching all year. I’m a huge fan of this song, and I’d buy this. In fact, I think I just might.
“Unbelievable — best I’ve heard you in weeks!” Randy enthuses.
“There you go — now that night’s started,” say Ellen, who calls it the best
“It could have been on your record,” says Kara. “Amazing.”
“You know, I’ve always believed in you,” says Simon, maybe more than he believed in himself. “This was the night your life may have changed forever.”

Let’s get right to the Top 11, from best to worst:
Tonight there were three distinct tiers of singers. Within each tier, the singers could really be ranked in about any order, depending on what one personally enjoys in an artist.
Tier 1: Lee Dewyze, Crystal Bowersox, Siobhan Magnus, Casey James
No. 1 Lee Dewyze, “The Letter,” The Box Tops
Lee live: His performance was incredibly exciting live. The horns were phenomenal, the vocal sounded fantastic. The judges nailed it, minus what Simon said about Lee needing a moment and calling it “corny.” The song didn’t need a moment because often times those “moments” mask an otherwise mediocre performance. A performance that is strong throughout doesn’t need a moment.
Lee on TV: It certainly wasn’t as exciting on DVR playback as it was live, but it still was a great way to kick off the show and it was still a very strong vocal.
Overall: The reason Lee gets the No. 1 spot over Crystal and Siobhan is because this year the judges are beating the contestants up about “being original and current and making songs your own.” I’m disappointed none of them pointed out what a great example Lee was of what they’ve been looking for this year. His version was nothing like the original song by the Box Tops. It was fresh, funky and absolutely something Lee could release and have a Top 40 hit with, so he gets top spot this week.
