Yesterday American Idol Season 9 seemed to continue with the "Top 2"
Lee DeWyze and
Crystal Bowersox performing live in separate venues. Lee DeWyze performed on the
Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Crystal is now available to see live on
VH1.com. Lee performed his new single "
Sweet Serendipity" with
his new band, and they looked pretty good together. The guitar and bass player sang background on the choruses and were actually capable of spitting out all those words together. Overall the performance was not too bad, especially since it was supposedly their first time performing live together (they perform again tomorrow in a
set in New York City). I thought the song sounded better live than on the recording and hopefully his performance will increase interest in his single and his upcoming album. Someone posted it on
YouTube but that may be taken down by the powers at NBC, so it is just as easy to go to the official
Tonight Show site and view the
11/9 show and go to the last commercial break. Crystal's songs include
Farmer's Daughter,
Jolene and
Riding With the Radio performed with just her bass player, Frankie May and a drummer. That stripped down sound suits her well and those tracks sound a lot better than the original demos for her album. The
VH1 site seems really slow streaming the videos, but luckily one fan made
copies on YouTube which will hopefully not be taken down either.
