In a national study of 3,901 American Idol<\/em> viewers, Bowersox, 24, was selected as the contestant who should win American Idol this season based on her three performances last night. Bluesy darkhorse Lee DeWyze — a 24-year-old former paint shop employee — finished a distant second in the voting after losing some of the confidence that saw him overshadow Bowersox in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Bowersox received 66.2 percent of the votes, while Dewyze received 33.8.3 percent of the votes.<\/p>\n

In a first for Idol<\/em>, the new song unveiled in the finale as the winner’s first release was replaced this year by two different cover versions of existing songs — U2’s “Beautiful Day” for DeWyze and “Up to the Mountain” for Bowersox.<\/p>\n

Also on tonight’s Idol<\/em> finale, Simon Cowell will end his nine season run as the judge Americans love to hate on, with no word on who will fill his shoes.<\/p>\n
