"Beautiful Like You" was not written/co-written by Lee. It was written by Tawgs Salter and Mark Stochansky.

"Me and My Jealousy" is sitting in a corner feeling angry and perplexed.

You're kidding me, right? DONE. I know Lee didn't have very much of a chance at doing well with anything, but they just blew the 0.1% chance he did have.

One of the better tracks on the album but not the song to save this era for Lee. The song just moves along without leaving much of an impression on me. Though I do like how his voice sounds on parts of the verses. It reminds me of the lead singer of The Fray.
I don't think RCA really has any plans to push this song given that the album has been out of the BB top 200 for weeks now and that it took them this long to announce the single just days before the Idol performance. They're probably hoping that will help the song, but I don't think it will do much. Where's the adds date if the performance is just a couple days away?
I would have chosen Me & My Jealousy. I think it would have had a better chance of combating the uphill battle Lee has to climb right about now.

MAMJ isn't being released?
And at that, I bid you adieu, Mr. DeWyze.

Neither of those links appear to be working because of the ....  I think this is a good choice for a single, actually...though I would've rather had Me and My Jealousy come first, since I think it would've done better. |

This is actually really nice. Sort of a nice Lifehouse/Keane vibe. It's a little long for radio, but it can easily be chopped down a bit. I made my own little edit with the intro halved and a fade out ending.

And I think this will perform better on the charts than people think. It sounds like something Train would release, with as you said a little Fray thrown in. |

I enjoyed it on Idol. If it came up on the radio, I wouldn't be unhappy about it.

Listening to the results show performance right now...good performance, but he really needs to remember his lyrics; fairly sure this is the second time I've heard him switch lyrics between verses/halves of the chorus. :/
#111 on iTunes, by the way (don't see the single version on the list).

The BLU album version is charting at #98 & Live It Up the album #12 overall. That is as of this posting. |

The AI appearance gave Lee a little boost for his album Live It Up according to IdolChatter;
Lee DeWyze, Live It Up (5,000 weekly, -328%, 130,000 total) (#96 Billboard 200)
Note: Lee's Live It Up album, which sold a little more than 1,000 copies the previous week.

As everyone else has stated, Me and My Jealousy was the best choice and was the only song I enjoyed on the album aside from Sweet Serendipity.

What a wasted opportunity to have him on the show and not set an add date any time near the performance. I had a feeling this 'single' wasn't even going to promoted with the poor album sales and all. I still think they should have chosen M&MJ and promoted it to HAC, but what's done is done. Not looking too good right now for Lee. Anyone else fear he'll get dropped in the next couple of months?

Seems like he's been unofficially dropped as it is. The fact that they had him perform this song on Idol and didn't take advantage of it at all makes me think there will never be another Lee single released.

Lee still has one idol appearance left at the AI10 finale but I don't know what he will perform. They may just let him sing anything he wants. |

I would've loved to have seen a single pushed with some actual gusto behind it.
