The paint store worker won over the single mom. And many are not happy about it. Mary T. Kelly raged about Lee DeWyze winning as this year's "American Idol" in Salon.com. She blamed it on America's texting tweens, who'd rather go for bland performer Lee than appreciate Crystal Bowersox' constantly and consistently powerhouse performances.

In the show's finale, Lee's performance is upstaged, as usual by Crystal's. And in a night packed with performances from Janet Jackson and Idols Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks, to name a few, the guy who "spent the season looking like a deer caught in the headlights" didn't stand a chance. Add to that Paula Abdul's pink dress and Simon Cowell's goodbye speech. . . Lee who?

Kelly was right on one thing, though. "If there was a competition for being humble and grateful, he should win it," as Lee fell to the ground, overcome with emotion, after the announcement that he won.
