He seems like a very nice guy but as a singer/performer he's blandity bland. I think it was a very poor choice of song for him and that it takes a dynamic singer/performer to pull that song off.

Well, apparently he's got a different version of Beautiful Day now, it's acoustic. He completely changed the melody.
Acoustic version.

Wow, he actually turned Beautiful Day into a John Mayer song. Jesus Christ on a rotten buttered piece of toast. You're a nice guy, Lee, but stop it. Before I throw a hockey puck at your balls.

This guy is going around and turning "Beautiful Day" into a BAD DAY. U2 should just sue American Idol already to stop this nightmare

I know right? There are more than enough John Mayer songs in this world already. We don't need awesome songs turned into more John Mayer songs.

Yeah, I don't get that lyric change.

Somebody make it stop....plaaaaaaaaa eeeze.
I must be in the minority here, but I actually like the acoustic version of BD WAY more than his karaoke version he performed on the show. At least he sounds like he has some passion this time. The karaoke version was one big yawn. And yes, somewhere right now John Mayer is pissed he didn't think of this version first. 
I didn't watch AI this season, but I do really like the fact that winner chose a U2 song to cover as his first single. I love that it shows U2's music truly is timeless. Too bad his version of BD generally sucks!

David Cook's version of ISHFWILF is great. The rest is all blech to me.

Can this...halfbreed even be called "Beautiful Day" anymore? It's the same words, and the same title, but it's not the same song.
If I had a sig, this would be in it.

Me too. That post made me laugh so hard, it was almost worth sitting through that shittastic song. GAF.

and here I thought his version of the song couldn't get any worse, then I watched that acoustic version.

Yeah when will there be a show like American Songwriter where songs are judged. A singer can make or break a song but if a song is just bad (Like most American Idol original songs) no one can help it.

Idol winner DeWyze debuts to lackluster sales

Complaints that "American Idol" voters chose one of the least talented singers from among a particularly mediocre crop of contestants may be bearing out.
Sales figures are in for newly crowned season 9 champ Lee DeWyze's debut single, a cover of U2's "Beautiful Day" -- and they're way down compared to the numbers posted by past "Idol" winners.
DeWyze's single sold 95,000 copies in its first week out. That's a decline of nearly 30 percent from the 134,000 sales of season 8 winner Kris Allen's debut single "No Boundaries." And DeWyze had less than half the sales of season 7 winner David Cook's debut, which sold 236,000 copies.

At least they didn't ask if U2 covered a Lee DeWyze song
I guess Lee did the national anthem last night at the Celtics Lakers game-either they didn't show it or I missed it.
