'American Idol' Lee DeWyze performs 'Rocket Man' on 'The Tonight Show'
Twitter
On Thursday, July 1, Lee DeWyze and the rest of the "American Idol" Top 10 will kick off their summer tour, but DeWyze took a break from rehearsals to stop by and perform "Rocket Man" for Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" on June 25.Does this mean that DeWyze will be performing the Elton John classic on tour? We'll find out next week!
Zap2it recently caught up with Lee and his "Idol" BFF Andrew Garcia to talk about who they'd like to tour with after they finish the Top 10 tour. DeWyze said he didn't have a preference, he'd just like to tour with someone who respects his music.
Garcia, on the other hand, answered, "If I could tour with anybody? I would open for Lee. That'd be sick. Go on tour with my best friend? That'd be sick."
"That'd be cool," Lee agreed. "This whole thing is crazy. I feel like I'm like lost in a dream and I don't know which way to go. And if it was all that it seemed -- sorry. Just kidding. Those are the lyrics from 'Straight Up.'"
We're sure Paula Abdul would be very proud, Lee.

You're the best best Lee! Love ya!!
Wooo - where can I buy this song?
I love the sound. I love the slowness of the song. And the soulfulness. I wonder what Elton thinks of this?
Rocketman - wow.
Lee sounded good! I'm looking forward to what he, Siobhan, and Casey do in particular.
My friend is into Crystal's older style stuff, So I hope Crystal pleases her..
I love it. I wonder what Elton thinks of this? Lee can truly make a song his own.
LOVE IT!
I always love to listen to Lee and this was no exception. Great version of Rocketman!
Wow! Way to go Lee! Sounded great, can hardly wait for your new album. Could listen to your music all day long. The best of luck to you and your career.
I loved the performance and I am a HUGE Fan:). I thought he was going to sing KOL but boy was I wrong. I hope you guys go out and buy tickets for the Idols Live stop nearest you--they have some buy one get one free seats available at Summerfest, in Milwaukee which is next Friday. I assume it would be the same at other venues around the country, at this point. :):)
I am so happy to see him getting this exposure. Love, love his voice. I am playing my downloaded CD from AIdol over and over, waiting for the tour on August 1st!
