American Idol Winner Lee DeWyze Talks Season 13 Dream Judging Panel — Exclusive – What did you think of the talent on American Idol Season 12? I think it’s funny, a lot of people watch American Idol and everyone always says, ‘Do you think they’re a talented group?’ or ‘Do you think the winner was talented?’ And my question is always, ‘Compared to who or what?’ Being an artist and doing your thing, everyone is different, everyone’s got their own kind of path. Everyone that was on the show this year had individuality and definitely were their own artist in their own right. I think Candice [Glover] is a sweetheart, and so is Kree. I think they’ll both have successful careers as long as they work hard and trust people around them. – Read more at Wetpaint
