'American Idol': Lee DeWyze's 'Treat Her Like a Lady'

Here's the conundrum with "American Idol" finalist Lee DeWyze: When he's on stage singing, he usually sounds quite good. But then you look at him, and it sometimes seems like he's trying to make himself as small as he possibly can.On Tuesday (March 30), though, DeWyze broke out of his shell with probably his most confident performance yet. His rendition of "Treat Her Like a Lady" by the Cornelius Brothers brought the house down in studio, and just as important, he came across like he actually believed he deserved to be among the favorites.
At least until the judges started praising him (Simon Cowell said DeWyze might look back on this night as the one that changed his life). Then, well, he looked a little more like the uncomfortable Lee we've seen for most of the season. Take Ryan Seacrest's advice and smile, man -- it's earned.
Take in "Treat Her Like a Lady" for yourself.

The BEST performance of the Night!! Hands down!! Lee you rock!! Enjoy!! Great Job!!
Lee is the absolute best! I really hope he wins the whole thing. He is extremely talented and hot! He has it all in my opinion
Lee, Casey, and Crystal dominated the top ten last night, proving they all deserve to stick around for the rest of the season. The others? Well, results were mixed. Katie, Andrew, and Tim once again scraped along the bottom - even though the judges liked Andrew (shockingly). The biggest surprise of the night? Didi and Siobhan's underwhelming performances. Could one of them be going home tonight?
