From the show's opening, with a mediocre performance by aged rocker Alice Cooper to a lineup of seemingly random artists, many of whom didn't at all fit the perceived youthful "Idol" demographic (Michael McDonald? The Bee Gees? Chicago?!?), to the rambling return of Paula Abdul -- it was just one misstep after another. And after all that, for the second consecutive year, the less mainstream contestant failed to capture enough votes to take the title of "American Idol." Lee DeWyze isn't terrible, but he's no Crystal "MamaSox" Bowersox.
