Idol Winner Bombs

Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox didn't make it into Billboards top ten with their first singles. The lukewarm reception is blamed on mediocrity among the latest American Idol contestants.

Idol-izing

Crystal and Lee didn't fare all that well
As their singles appeared on the charts.
Their music, it seems, just didn't quite jell
Or find its way into our hearts.

How could the idols be so rejected
While recording and doing their thing?
Maybe the fans all simply expected,
Two singers who knew how to sing.
