Lee's hometown of Mount Prospect, IL went wild as they watched Ryan Seacrest's announcement on Jumbotrons. Lee won fans over with his raspy rocker style and sweet demeanor.
This finale show was jam-packed with entertainment. Janet Jackson, Michael McDonald, Alice In Chains, Chicago, Alanis Morissette, Bee Gees were some of the performers, along with past idol winners Kris Allen and Carrie Underwood.
But there was a bitter sweet feeling in the air, with this finale being Simon Cowell's final appearance on Idol. Past idol winners and contestants performed a moving tribute for him, and Paula Abdul made an appearance just to honor her former judge mate. When Simon went on stage to respond to the outpouring of support he was clearly emotional.
Simon isn't leaving Fox, however, and he will still be the judge we've grown to love (well at least I love him!) Simon will be producer, mentor and judge on the U.S. version of the British hit X Factor which will also air on Fox. So no, we can't get rid of the cynical and sarcastic quips that easily!
