EDIT: Single has been changed to "Sweet Serendipity"Lee's first single debuts on Ryan Seacrest's show next Wednesday, 10/13. If it's good, anyone think it can actually be a hit at Hot AC? I definitely think it's a possibility. I liked Lee so I'm hoping it's a good song. :) Album cover:  www.mtv.com/news/articles/1649553/20101007/dewyze_lee.jhtml

If it's even close to being good it'll do fine. He has a HAC voice much like David Cook.

^ That's what I was thinking, with the David Cook comparison. I don't think he'll be as successful though.

Don't think he's musically compared to Cook. Listen to his pre-idols album, and you'll see that is not the case. However, I hope that it does well in this format!

I disagree, I think Cook is a lot better than Lee (and I like him more than Daughtry too)

As much as I hate comparing Idols like this:
Daughtry > Cook > Lee
Chris Daughtry was one of the shows best discoveries, in my opinion. David Cook has a good voice, but I don't care much for his music (I love Come Back To Me though). Lee...I don't like his voice much, but I think he has some potential with the right songs.

I loved Cook during idol, but didn't like his album.
I wasn't a big Lee fan during the show, but I like his pre-idol albums and his acoustic performances and I am hoping for a good album.

As for Lee, his voice especially doing Simon and Garfunkle's "the fighter" gave me chills. he has that same perfect imperfection in his voice that makes u believe every word and feel his soul like Rob Thomas and judging by his song choices on idol,he knows who we wants to be as an artist so i'm expecting big things. I think he's the 2nd best discovery on idol except Daughtry imo :) |

I liked Cook's CD a lot, I just think they released the completely wrong songs as singles.
About Lee, I have hope for him. I read something saying that he co-wrote most every song on the album which is a good thing. There are some great acoustic performances from him on YouTube, so I think he's capable of a good album.

I guess Lift it Up didn't get good reaction...

I think this song is gonna do really really well in Hot AC, not sure about CHR. But this is really good.

CHR is whats trendy at the moment, most artsists on HOT AC we're charting 10 years ago, and will be 10 years from now! Career artists like Maroon 5, Daughtry, Lifehouse, Matchbox Twenty, John Mayer, Bon Jovi, Goo Goo Dolls, Sheryl Crow, Pink, Nickelback & Train to name a few, hopefully Dewyze can make that list of future r n' rhall of famers! :) |

This one's pretty good. It kind of reminds of Josh Kelley's material from a few years ago. So much better than Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying".

I found this to be offputting due to the odd title and the fact that the song itself isn't as appealing as past idol's debuts (especially Live Like We're Dying). I'm guessing this will go top 10 on hot ac and if he's lucky, top 50 on pop.

I am the complete opposite. I think it's better than most of the past idol debut winners. EH, maybe that's just me. I don't know how well it'd do on the radio.

So much better than Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying". What does Kris Allen have to do with Lee DeWyze? Either Lee stands on his own merit or not. No need for comparisons. I think it's an OK song. Not great, but light and non-offensive. Terribly wordy, though. No reason for HAC not to play it, however. Oh, and I'm new here. Pleased to be here with all of you. :) |

It's pretty catchy. It sounds like a big Hot AC hit to me. I don't think it's as good as LLWD though.

This song is definitely going to do well on HAC. It has a much lighter vibe than I was expecting from Lee given what he was doing on Idol and the little I've heard of his pre-Idol stuff.

Daughtry > Cook > Lee
ITA
I think this song is dreadful.
Autotuned to the max- wouldn't even recognize it is Lee unless you knew it.
What's with all the words?
Nothing special about it to stand out; guess it depends how hard they push it.

I don't think this'll have any trouble on CHR or Hot AC - don't think it'll be the biggest hit, but I'm almost sure it'll do something (Top 20 I guess) Like the fact that someone finally used the word serendipity in a song  It's gonna be like when Bobby Brown put out My Prerogative - all these kids'll learn a new word |

Lee co-wrote this song(not sure who with yet).
Not bad for his first pop song.
