Grass is green, the world is round and Lee DeWyze is the worst-ever winner in the history of American Idol.
As a loyal viewer of the Fox competition since day one, I stand by that statement.

There was lots of hugging and crying on tonight’s American Idol — it was like Paula Abdul was back!
Sadly, no. But wow: Ellen Degeneres actually jumped up from her perch on the judges’ panel to hug contestant Tim Urban for doing an impressive job on that old Idol standard “Hallelujah.” And Kara Dioguardi let her steely guard down, sobbing uncontrollably over new dad Michael Lynche’s R&B stylings.

Paparazzi also caught up with Chris Daughtry outside of Coco De Ville Night Club and Bar in Hollywood. Besides being a super great-looking guy, he has that amazing singing voice and now we see that he likes to wear cowboy boots. A guy like him could start a whole new trend for them.
