Idol's Double-Edged Sword...

Lee Dewyze won American Idol..you know that by now. NOW comes the double-edged sword of HIM winning and not Crystal. I was all team Crystal to be honest, but Lee Dewyze is good..good pipes..I like the guy. My only problem is what America says it wants for the Idol winner and what radio ends up playing. You already have Daughtry and Kris Allen..will Lee Dewyze be any different at all?? My guess is no. I hate to say it, but no. We're stuck with this template for Idol winners. He has a great story..worked in a paint store in Chicago. Yeah..ya know that right now. Remember back when Daughtry worked at Best Buy? You may not. It doesn't matter now..ESPECIALLY in Daughtry's situation. Radio loves him. All top 40 stations automatically give him a chance when he releases new music. What our challenge in radio will be now is not playing Lee Dewyze, Kris Allen and Daughtry back to back to back on the air..because you might be able to tell them apart.
