Brooklyn Bridge - Lee DeWyze
(Born Leon James DeWyze on April 2, 1986, in Mount Prospect, Illinois, to parents Kathleen and Lee DeWyze, Sr. Lee, Jr. had a difficult time in school, and was kicked out of Prospect High School for fighting. He later attended Forest View Alternative School, but he never graduated. To cope with his feelings of estrangement, DeWyze turned to music, teaching himself guitar and drums. He began performing publicly at the age of 16.)
Lee DeWyze. Who wouldn't be a talent at something with a name like that. It rolls of the tongue. His voice sooths me. *sigh* Thank God, his album was true. No bubblegum. I was worried. Of course I was.

You're right! That voice! He's only a year older than me too. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteAh...another youngster. Don't know if you saw the post on 8/7 where I was talking about the youngsters gettin' it right :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE his song..."Dear Isabelle" from the same album.
What a totally COOL song, Annie!

Mmmmmmm.....not an Idol type of guy so....I don't like him.
ReplyDeleteLol...A thumbs up and a thumbs down. I'm two thumbs up about Lee DeWyze. He could sing the phone book and I'd be the first to buy the album.
ReplyDeleteIf you like the recorded version of Brooklyn Bridge, check out a recent live version from Lee's concert in Boston. Wow. Just WOW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OyxKKSjZNI&feature=player_detailpage#t=349s
ReplyDeleteSong so sweet, and what a voice, love it@!
ReplyDeleteAngie - YEP! Awesome...except for the fact that I have to listen to those teeny-boppers in the background screamin, and singing off key :) I absolutely love "Beautiful Like You" as well.
ReplyDeleteLorraine - Ain't he great. Looks like Travis is out voted. Just because they come from Idol, doesn't mean they started there, and it don't mean they suck! Harumph!
