Tonight on Larry King Live!

Larry, will you ask Lee to say hi to Lacey shes crazy about him

Lee, I've liked you the whole season, bought your 2 preidol cds after I saw you at the beginning of the season. Are you going to have a twitter account?

Lee, what do you think that your post Idol album will sound like compared to your pre Idol albums? PS. your an inspiration to all of us back home in Chicago.

Seems to be a large lack of viewers interested in the American Idol show.

are Lee and Crystal a couple?

Seeing and hearing the talent just makes me wonder all over again how on earth did Lee win this thing. I guess it's the phone calls. It's not really fair, is it – but it is what it is.
The show has jumped the shark.

What does Lee look for in a women?, and how would I apply? Where can we send Lee fan mail?

Lee, who's your favorite celebrity??
Lee, if you had twins, one boy and one girl, what would you name them?
Lee..I LOVE YOU! im a huge fan! and voted for you on the finale for hours! LOVE YOU! cant wait for your CD! 🙂

Lee, you broke the record for having the most people at your hometown concert with 41,369 people! how do you feel about that? will you continue to go back to your hometown and visit often? 🙂

lee, your eyes is so beautiful... and your voice, when you sing ...oh ohoooooo i feel it my soul.

You all seem so nice...Crystal, my son has juvenile diabetes, too. How old were you when you were diagnosed?Lee is so good , but I think you are the best contestant ever on AI...my previous favorite was elliot yamin (also has diabets!). good luck to you all; you could all be superstars!

I have questions for Casey. Can you name a few popular songs that are favorites of yours that you wish you could have been the original artist of? I'm trying to get a feel of the direction you'll be going in. My other question is did you feel the song choices and themes on the show were very limiting for you personally? By the way, you, Casey are a shining star!

Please ask Lee and Crystal if they have quit smoking or plan to?

My question is for Casey... Do you have any idea of when you may possibly put a CD out? and why didn't you get to sing a song like Gravity on American Idol? I heard you sing it on "youtube" when you were on your home town visit and you were awesome. Good Luck~

Larry, please ask Lee if he can confirm his relationship status. Many of his fans would love to know.

And if you could ask another, could you ask him and Crystal who their inspirations are? Future goals – do they plan on moving into a different part of the entertainment business (such as acting) or will they stick with music?

My question is for Crystal, What advice would you give to someone wanting to go on American Idol?

Ask Crystal, if she feels she will be more free down the road with her style of music, having not won? Lee's style seems to setup that he woul need the win more than her.

My kids asked me why I liked Lee. He just listened to the judges and kicked it up a notch. He showed me something special.Did any one mention that he has Elvis eyes?

Tim Urban if you ever made a music video would you ever be shirtless in it or one of them?

Hey Lee. I've been a beLEEver since day one =).....I'm from Malaysia so I couldn't vote =(....but I did drive my aunt in Denver crazy by asking her to vote for you like a million times....anyway just wanted to know...how tall are you? And would you ever date a fan?

casey
will you join a band/group as you say you're a musician first, or will you go solo?
thanks
michele

Lee
do you get tired of being referred to as a paint salesman. i think they must have said it 100 times the past few weeks!
best of luck
michele

Crystal, congrats on winning! What I mean, and my question is, do you feel like 2nd place gives you more freedom to pick and chose record co's/contracts and gives you more freedom to be the amazing artist that you are without AI management dictating your fate?

Katie, 1st off luv ya kid, and has anyone ever told you that you have a real Christina Aguilera-esque tone in your voice? If not, you do! I see big things ahead for you, never quit!

Where's the eulogy for Dennis Hooper? Unlike a great many synthetic created celebs and fantasy hero's, Dennis Hooper was his own man, self created and true to the last.

Millions across America are lighting up Marajuania and inhaling in their toast and send off to Dennis Hooper.

Happy Trails Dennis Hooper, thank-you for the great memorys. RIP

Mr. King.........Please make sure you are NICE to Crystal on your upcoming show on Monday. She may be the runner-up, but she has won the hearts around the world. The whole world knows Crystal is the true champion this year!!! She will be the next super STAR!!!

BP is giving up on the 'Top Kill' method and proceeding to slice the header piping off the blow-out preventer and then placing either a 'hoodie' or another blow-out preventer on top of it.

With BP giving up on the 'Top Kill' method, the flow gushing out into the once pristine Gulf of Mexico appears to be shifting back in color from 'Green' to 'Beige' to 'Brown' to 'Dark Brown' and is now shifting back to the Black Crude Oil color as the previous 'mud' is shot back out of the pipe.

Hi Larry, My question is ! Why can't the Oil Company pour Concrete down the pipe ,its heavy and can set up Quickly W/ the cold that's down that far. They use heat for the mud why not for the concrete. Thank You

This question is for Lee. Any chance for some originals on tour, especially Stay ? I cannot stop listening to it! Slumberland is such a great album.

With Hillary Clinton actively working out a Middle East Peace Plan at the same time she is actively working with China to help prevent a all out war across the entire Korean peninsula, the last thing she needs is the large debt burden hanging over her head from her failed US Presidential big. Please consider visiting Hillary Clinton's website and donating a small amount to help her retire that outstanding debt.

Where is Joe Biden? Shouldn't he be staying in the Gulf of Mexico to help direct Federal resources until the Gusher in the Gulf of Mexico and the Republican Plume of Doom has been shut off, and dissipated?

Push Vice President Joe Biden out of Dick Cheneys former bunker and send him to Louisiana to lend a hand!

Siobhan, you are special and has very unique artistic talents. I think you will have an incredible career. One of my favorite idol performances was when you sang 'Paint It Black' during Rolling Stones week. What is your favorite Idol moment ? Also have you decided what kind of artist you want to be ? Are you pursuing another career beside singing ?

If I were with you tonight, I'd like to ask Crystal and Lee where they go from here. I know there are American Idol events all summer, but after that, what do they do to get a record contract outside of Idol?

Another question: Many people are saying this year was boring, although I loved it. Could it be that people like to watch the absurdities rather than actually talented people?

My question is for Lee. I'm just wondering if and how you plan to stay in touch with your fans. I haven't seen a fan site of yours yet, or an official site. I know that Kris Allen and Jason Castro have left videos on their sites to talk to their fans. I'm just wondering if you've given any thoughts about how to keep up a good fan/star relationship with us.

You are an amazing singer Lee, definitely deserved the win!!! See ya in Houston on the tour!!

P.S. Jerdixie above is Jan in Sugar Land, TX, if you end up using my question. 🙂

Heyy this question is for the amazing Tim Urban! So if you had one day to do whatever you wanted to do what would you do? I would probly spend it with you or Justin Bieber! lol LOVE YOU! <3

Heyy can you ask Tim Urban to say hi to Jalynn Swim she totaly love him Thanks Larry

Casey – What songs have you choosen to perform on the AI tour? Ü

Casey, you often call yourself a musician?
But your fans are also inpired by your voice!
Do you think you can now think of yourself as a singing musician because your fans certainly do?

Casey-How do you plan to keep your fans informed??twitter? facebook?myspace?or a fan site?--you have several. We need to keep up so we will know when you album comes out and your tour schedule after the Idol tour. Thanks so much-you have such a bright future. God Bless!

I have questionS for Casey. Who do you want to record an album with? Are you going to include your own pre-idol songs for your first album?
Larry, please tell this to Casey: Casey, you are a great singer as well as a great guitarist. Believe in yourself. Your performance with Bret Michaels was phenomenal.

Casey, how did you like the guitar strap from the Crew? Will you wear it on the tour?

Casey, your duet with Bret Michaels was amazing! I haven't stopped watching. Are there any other current recording artists you'd like to sing and play with?

Casey – Will you be wearing your gifted guitar strap during the tour?

Casey, how old are Buster and Daisy? Are you planning to have little Busters and Daisys?

Hey everyone! I have two questions for Tim Urban. 🙂
First of all what are you most excited for about the tour?, second of all do you smoke? I hope you don't! 🙁

I would like Casey to know that he has a lot of fans MALE and female OF ALL AGES and WE LOVE HIS VOICE 🙂 Remember stars like Usher and Bret Michaels believe in you too. Casey and Bret – the most exciting moment for me on Idol EVER! ***Has it really sunk in yet that you have a video with Bret Michaels that is currently in the Top 10 videos at Itunes ? What is the story behind your cool ring that you wear up high on your finger?

To Casey from one of the Crew: Did you feel your style was "stifled" by having to perform such short songs on the show or not having a band nearby while you were performing? My friends and I luv your voice and mad guitar skills and so do my brothers. Casey rocks.

ELLIOT YAMIN!!!!

Casey – how soon will you have your official Face book page and Twitter sites up and running – its a powerful way to stay connected to your fans and you were wonderful during Idol staying connected to us – we miss your Face Book updates –

Casey – where can your fans buy your pre – Idol music, right now?

Casey how was it seeing Buster and Daisy for your birthday?

We love you Casey – see you in Baltimore.

casey don't listen to kara, us guys like your music. can't go wrong with southern rock- country -texas blues. you and bret killed it. everyone's talking about it. bad cool video. what kind of bands have you played in? what age did you start playing in bands?

Casey,

First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Second, does the ring you wear on the middle finger of your right hand
have special meaning? That's not the typical place one wears a ring.

Casey,

Do you have a twitter account yet? If yes what's the address?

Casey,

Is there anything special you'll be taking on tour to pass away the hours on the bus? Like books, movies, games, etc.

Casey...you're the best!!!! You're the complete package and wished you got the title. You're handling it so well and to me it doesn't mean at all that you're just "the third best."...YOU ARE THE BEST..See you in Hamilton ON. Just how could we ever get a behind the scene closer encounter with you guys? When I went to see Adam Lambert (my favorite also) in Columbus, OH they had some kind of private party with the idols and some chosen fans. How do you qualify for such an event ? When are your cds coming out? It's true what they say....you're the best guitarist that AI has so far....Love your voice, your style, your looks, height...what did I say above? The complete package....When was your birthday? Hug Daisy and Buster for me and yes...how can we connect with you???? Better have that Twitter or Facebook account or something.My husband thinks I'm going nuts...btw, I'm a fellow Texan....Good luck Casey...you'll do just fine..we're all waiting

That will be all. Thanks! Again, good luck Casey....you're simply the best.

Casey,

I really enjoy the studio version of Ok, It's Alright With Me. When you performed it onTop 3 night you were strumming along on your guitar, but we couldn't hear it. Was your guitar plugged in?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASEY! Hope you were in Texas long enough to visit family and your dogs. Did you get a cake and Bluebell? What was your best birthday ever? Was this it?

I loooooove ur voice. its distinctive. soulful. bluesy. modern country. You play a mean guitar too. How many guitars do you have? Do you have favorites? How many will you take on the tour? Will you take pics of daisy and buster with you on the tour?

Texas loves ya and so does the rest of the world!!!!!!!!!!

Casey,

What is the name of the original song that you played at the Wildflower Festival during your homecoming? I read in the comments on you tube that you wrote the song that day, is that true?

If you can't remember the song it begins like this:

I woke up early this morning,
Somebody was tapping on me,
He said man you best get moving...

Casey,

You said at the If I Can Dream house that you weren't going to Disney World with all the other contestants. Why not?

Casey

Will you please make video blogs of yourself during tour and afterward! Jason Castro made them during his tour and before he was signed to Atlantic. They were a lot of fun for his fans and kept his fanbase updated on what was happening in his career.

Casey,

It seems like you know a lot of songs. Have you ever tried to count how many songs you know well enough to sing on the spur of the moment? About how many would that be?

Casey,

What's the story behind your dream about the chainsaw and Big Mike? I couldn't quite hear when you talked about that at the If I Can Dream house.

Larry will you tell Lee this:

Lee you rock and are such a talent! Did you know that there are Scrabble Cheez-its? Also what theme would you have liked to have had on Idol?

Love,
Alexis S 🙂

P.S: All of the Top 10 are amazing singers/ musicians. You will all go far 🙂

Larry King

Casey has an awesome belly laugh! Can you please say something to make him laugh? 🙂

P.S. Just don't say anything about Kara, that's NOT funny anymore!

Thanks a bunch!

Casey,

I read that you practiced another song for Top 3 night that didn't get released. What song was that?

Casey,

I really like the studio version of Ok, It's Alright With Me. Is it true that Eric Hutchinson, the writer of that song, said that he'd like to write with you in the future?

Hi Larry. I have a question for Casey James,

I read that you grew your hair out so you could donate it to Locks Of Love for cancer patients. Is this accurate? I love that you did that but would you consider keeping your hair like it is for awhile? Your music is foremost ofcourse but the hair is part of your trademark now. I bet some fans would be willing to donate hair for you or you could have a benefit concert for the cancer patients.

please remember that you are a SINGING musician...we love your voice as much as your playing...btw, how many/which instruments can you play? At what age did you start playing? Which came first – singing or playing instruments? Do you think you might do Jealous Guy, Hold On I'm Coming,Gravity and the duet with Mike on the tour? I love all your songs. Are you tired of our questions yet lol?

Is this your best birthday ever? Hope so.

Casey have you picked out your songs for the tour yet? Can we expect to hear some hot guitar?

Hi Larry, I'm PJ from Philippines 22 years old. Ever since I watched Casey on Idol, I never forget to catch a glimpse on his rings! I find it really cool and unique. Can he tell something about those rings, why does he keep on wearing them and what are those for? Does it have anything to do with his guitar playing?

Hello, wanted to ask Casey this question for a long time! What is his ideal girl?????? Now that his career is starting, does he have time for a love life? He said in an interview that he's looking for the right woman to spend his life with.Is he looking now???

I have a question for Casey:
1. Out of the 9 finalists, who does he gets along well a lot??
2. What song did he wish he sang that one of the other finalists sang?

Hey Larry..Thanks for having Casey! I have some questions for him; What happened to him and his ex-wife? What's the reason they got divorced?

Casey – what sort of books do you like? Who is your favourite author?

Forgot to say, Happy Birthday Casey!!

I wish you a very Happy Birthday Casey with many more to come!

I'd like to know where you learned to play the guitar? Are you self taught or formally trained? Can you read music?

I have not been able to find the answer to these questions in any interviews given. Thanks.

You have a great voice Casey. It is as good as your guitar playing. Two great skills in one great musician. Looking forward to sharing in your career. Congratulations.

LUV CASEY JAMES!! Have u signed a record deal? We all here in SC would love to purchase it. PLease keep us informed.

Casey – When did you find out that you'd be singing a duet with Bret Michaels? It was awesome – best of the night. By the way, Happy Birthday.

What kind of woman does Casey look for? Does he like blondes, brunettes, short, or tall women? Eye color? Or do looks not matter? What about personality?

for crystal.. Love all ur originals.. are u planning to have a few of them on your first album if yes can u name the songs .. Think u r mind blowing and inspiring,u r my idol..Lots of love..and congrats on being the first idol to have an original played on the show !!

Crystal.. What experience in your life prior to AI shaped you to be the person and the artist you are today.. i know there will be many probably but anything that stands out.. i think u r an amazing singer and lyricist and ur music is just filled with heart and soul.... And i just love ya .. My idol..

Music =Crystal +her guitar 🙂

And i just love ya .. My idol.. 4m India

Music =Crystal +her guitar

For Crystal:
I think you were outstanding and amazing and relly in the leage of your own from the begining to the end. I dont understand: How come nobady know your story?
(I respect Lee, but paint salesman is not the worst thing one can do, he has 2 CDs outthere, too...)
And your story is not only a story... its a OPRAH story, your hard life, fight for life and love, videos of you busking in Chicago, videos of you singing with so much soul your original songs with 13 are not hard to find – can you try to explaine that – lack of interest?, or...
Has Lee one comment?

A question for Casey: Can you name three items that you'll NEED to keep sane on the tour? Guitars and cell phones don't count, because I think everyone assumes that! Happy Birthday, Casey!

Casey, I've started being a big fan of yours since Denver audition. What birthday wish do you have which you hope will really materialize this year?

Question for all the Idols...Who is the prankster of the group?
Tonya from Ohio

Happy Birthday Casey!!!! I forgot to menton that in my last post. 🙂

Hi Larry! Excited for the show tonight. Please tell Casey Happy Birthday and that his fans love his singing and not just his guitar playing!!!!

Happy Birthday Casey!

Casey,

How many guitars do you have? Do you play any other instruments?

Casey,

Who is taking care of Buster and Daisy while you're away?

Casey,

How did you learn how to play guitar so well? Are you self taught or did other musicians teach you?

Casey,

If you could choose ANY 3 songs to sing on tour, what would they be?

Casey,

What was your favorite song to perform at gigs before American Idol?

Casey,

Now that you know how obsessed the ladies are with your hair do you plan on keeping it this length for awhile? Please say yes, haha! 🙂

question for CASEY:
will you please make a video blog of you during the tour so your fans can keep up? Andrew could help, his videos are great – he's a funny talented guy too. To ANDREW: will you make a video blog for Casey – you have another talent in filming and you are hilarious. We'd like to see you guys singing as well as cutting up. To MIKE: you picked a GREAT song for you and Casey to perform – It really suited both of your voices and both of you sounded incredible in the live version and the studio. To TIM and CASEY: you Texas guys should do a Crest commercial – love the smiles.

CASEY: I love your singing as much as your skills as a musician. Do you read music? How many instruments do you play? I loved the mandolin in your version of Mrs. Robinson. Sounded like a current country song. You cross genres well!

PLEASE keep the rockin hair. it suits you. You may cut it this summer? say it ain't so joe! Are you going to cut your hair for cancer patients? I'll happily donate money to benefit those with cancer and other fans would too ( cancer is such a horrible horrible disease). Your visit during your Homecoming to the hospital that saved your life was touching.

Do you think you'll be signing a record deal in the near future? We sure hope so. You have a big audience now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASEY. Do you have a birthday wish?

Casey,

I am making a round trip of 13,000 miles to see you in concert, is that the furthest anyone has travelled to see you??

Casey's audition was funny at first but not anymore. Casey has legit big time talent. Casey can rock it with the best of them.

My questions are for Lee –

1) Are you going to make videos to keep in touch with your fans on your youtube account like Kris, David Cook have done?!

2) A lot of people wanted you to sing Kings of Leon – Use Somebody on AI9 why didn't you do it, was it you couldn't get it cleared in time? Also, will you be singing it on the tour?!

3) I didn't know you could play the piano, your really good!

4) I know it is early but can you give us any hints as to what will be on your CD!! Is it really coming out in Oct, most have come out in Nov?!

-THANKS-

Hello Top 10 and Mr. Larry!

My name is Lauren Daigle! I was a contestant on American Idol this season, and I made it to the Green Mile round (top 27 girls)! I just wanted to congratulate all of the contestants for making it so far!

My question: Do y'all have any tips for me through the process this year?? I want to make it all the way this time haha! =)

LEE- You have a special place in my heart! If there was a way for me to get in touch with you, I would! I enjoyed the little part of the journey I had with you! Y'all are great! Keep it up!

Peace&Love,
Laure Daigle

HEY Lee I just wanted to say .... CONGRATULATIONS on winning AI9!!!

Sorry I forgot in my last post .... I knew you could win from day 1 when you sang "Chasing Cars" you never strayed away from who you are and that is why I and everyone loves you!!! Your truly an amazing singer and guy!!

Hey Larry 🙂
Everyone I know loves Casey and Crystal. My mom, my brother, my friends and their husbands/boyfriends, my nephew and neice, even my friends' relatives and ME!
I loved Casey on Idol but he shines a lot brighter when he is in his element – where he can relax with full songs to sing and play and without controversial judging coming. Casey's great attitude was as impressive as his voice and guitar skills. Casey has a bright future and I can't wait to buy his music.
I love the idea of Casey having a video blog in the tour. Love his sense of humor. he is so natural at singing and playing like Jamie Fox said his Texas man is an ARTIST.
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Casey happy birthday to you! Larry: will you get the Idols to sing Happy Birthday to Casey?:) 🙂 🙂 🙂

First of all, I just have to say happy birthday to Casey and Big Mike! I hope you've both had a good one.
Also, I can't wait to see all of you this summer! What is everyone most looking forward to about the tour, and what cities are you most excited to visit?

Congrats to all the top 10 on your success! You are all amazing, and you obviously have so many fans that love you so much. Have any of you had any crazy fan experiences yet?

Crystal, We have heard so many rumors about you signing a contract with Sony Jive records. We heard the rumors were untrue and now we are hearing again that there is some truth to this rumor. Could you please set the record straight. Also , Thank you for gracing us with your beautiful voice.... I am now a fan for life. Toledo loves you....

Lee, are you single?
When will your album come out?
Are you tired of being referred to as a paint salesmen?

My questions are for Lee.

Who is your role model?
Would you and Crystal Bowersox ever date?
Do you think that you and Crystal Bowersox will ever put out a single?
