In the wake of Scotty McCreery’s American Idol triumph, the country is asking multiple questions today?
Typically, the previous winner ends up on the stage to congratulate the new champ and hand him/her a trophy. But DeWyze was seated in the fifth row at the finale, and Ryan Seacrest never even mentioned his name.
What happened?
According to producer Nigel Lythgoe, DeWyze refused to be a good sport. The producer Tweeted today: “I was so upset Lee DeWyze wouldn’t present the winners trophy to Scotty. Especially as he’s been on the show this Season. I guess he was shy.”
But the season nine title holder says it’s the opposite: he was never asked to participate!
“I was not asked to be involved in the Finale,” Lee wrote in response. “It wasn’t until about 2 minutes before they announced that Nigel had approached me and asked if he could “borrow” me for a second. I didnt feel a last second jump on stage was appropriate. It was Scotty’s moment.”
True. But it’s Lythgoe’s show.
What do you think, readers? Is there a real beef here? Or was it simply a case of misunderstanding?

Lady Gaga served as a guest mentor last night on American Idol.
New tri-colored hairstyle aside, her outfit was fairly run-of-the-mill … save for the GIANT stiletto heels. Heels made out of clear plastic penises.
When Gaga hit the set, producers smacked an American Idol logo over her sexually explicit stilettos because each had a Lucite penis for a heel.
That or they were conveniently cropped just outside the screen. You could say they got the shaft. Note the subtle censorship of the Lady’s footwear …
Lady Gaga: American Idol Mentor
Phallic footwear aside, Gaga proved in mentoring the Idol stars that an intelligent, thoughtful young woman exists beneath that bombastic persona.
No matter who goes home tonight, this was an experience James Durbin, Scotty McCreery, Haley Reinhart and Lauren Alaina will never forget.
NOTE: Void of Course, a London brand, sells the heels for $4,500!

No one was really shocked by Idol’s Thursday night elimination of Jacob Lusk. We saw it coming from a mile away, but Lauren Alaina’s lack of composure while standing in the bottom two made…

Time to pick up the pieces and move on.
Judges’ darling Pia Toscano was eliminated from American Idol last week, a surprising (for some) ouster that had Jennifer Lopez in tears and…

Every Idol fan knows Pia Toscano’s voice is one of the strongest in the competition, but if voting was based on moves alone, she’d have been voted off weeks ago.
Is it stage…

Three weeks into the American Idol finals, we were treated to our first surprise. Our first shock, really.
Following an off night on Wednesday for a couple of THG favorites – Thia Megia and Casey Abrams – they found themselves in the bottom three along with Stefano Langone. It was a scary few moments for those of us who love Thia’s voice and Casey’s originality.
In the end, Megia and Langone were told to join the other, safe contestants, while millions of jaws crashed to the floor when Ryan told Casey he had been voted out. He went back to “I Don’t Need No Doctor” in an attempt to be saved, but was told a few lines into the performance to stop because…
Did the judges make the right choice this week?
… the panel voted unanimously to save him!
“We just want you to get back to being the musician that you are,” Jennifer said. “No more antics… You deserve to be here.”
Two finalists will be voted out next Thursday, as Abrams stood on stage, truly taken aback and responding: “I thought that they wouldn’t use the save, because there’s 11 people. It’s unreal. I started singing, and the fact that you cut it scared the stuff out of me.”
