\"CrystalBowersox Crystal<\/strong> on Tuesday imposed a nervous Lee\u00a0DeWyze<\/strong> in finale of “American Idol” 2010<\/strong>, stealing the hearts of judges and giving way to a bitter end to the season’s highest rated television show in America.<\/p>\n

Bowersox<\/strong>, 24, a rasta-style single mother from Ohio, whose energy had missed in recent weeks, was the clear favorite of the judges in the fight for the title of “American Idol”\u00a02010<\/strong> after his set of three songs\u00a0.<\/p>\n

But the winner will be revealed on Wednesday night after million telephone votes and text messages from around the country will be recounted.<\/p>\n

“You took this song and performed it with absolute precision,” said the usually abrasive Simon Cowell<\/strong> after she offered a version of the classic 1990s “Black Velvet.”<\/p>\n

DeWyze<\/strong>, 24, was regarded as the most likely contender to win in the television show and his victory had been predicted by Cowell <\/strong>before Tuesday’s final performances in front of 7,000 fans.<\/p>\n

But the blues singer and guitarist, who last year worked at a paint store in Chicago, seemed to have lost some confidence with which Bowersox <\/strong>eclipsed last week.<\/p>\n

“I would have expected a lot more passion and excitement. That was a kiss on the cheek, when I wanted a kiss on the lips,” Cowell <\/strong>said, referring to the first attempt DeWyze<\/strong>, “The Boxer.”<\/p>\n

The night did not improve for DeWyze<\/strong>, Kara DioGuardi felt like he “was beaten a bit” by the success of U2’s “Beautiful Day.”<\/p>\n

In a major change for “American Idol<\/strong>,” the original ballad is usually revealed in the final competition was replaced this year by two different versions of existing tracks: “Beautiful Day” to DeWyze <\/strong>and “Up to the Mountain” to Bowersox<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bowersox<\/strong> plays guitar, piano and harmonica and was considered one of the favorites for the title after almost flawless presentations throughout the season.<\/p>\n

Bowersox <\/strong>and DeWyze <\/strong>are the last two on the career of nearly 100,000 aspiring pop music stars who attended a hearing last summer in the United States for the singing competition on Fox.<\/p>\n

In his ninth season, “Idol<\/strong>” remains the most-watched U.S. television show, but has suffered a small decline in its audience, which fell 9 percent this year.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, nearly 20 million viewers have tuned the program nears its end, compared to 30 million in 2006.<\/p>\n

The winner will be announced at the end of the final two hours on Wednesday, getting a recording contract and the opportunity to launch a career worthy of a Grammy as did former “Idols” Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s final will also mark the departure of the controversial British judge Simon Cowell<\/strong>, who announced his retirement in January to launch its own talent show “The X Factor” on Fox in the fall of 2011.<\/p>\n

So far, they have not announced a replacement for Cowell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
