Lee, whose official backstory focused more on his adventures in home-improvement retail than on his considerable recording chops – seemed needful of (or at least open to) guidance. Is it any surprise that he’s the judges’ favorite, even cast by Simon in the role of conquering archangel when the judge granted him the right to sing "Idol’s" favorite hymn, “Hallelujah”? Lee, accepting "Idol" as his savior from obscurity, has become the show’s own salvation. And the faithful have flocked to him. His ascent will likely prove permanent.
