LEE DEWYZE OF AMERICAN IDOL , I LOST MONEY ON YOU
My buddy and I decided to catch the 9th season winner of American Idol in a small venue do an acoustic set for almost 2 hours. I was truly surprised and impressed in his singing talents especially BLACKBIRD SONG from WALKING DEAD SERIES. We positioned ourselves to be ready to get his autograph and were able to stop him immediately after his show. I politely asked if he would mind signing a couple of items and he replied " No problem".
Then he Reacted like so many have done in the past. As he signed " we will see that on EBAY tomorrow" and even with us saying they will not be, he continued on. " I know the game as I live in LA so I do not care. They need a picture also to prove it was signed" . He just did not believe us due mainly that with a line of about 15 people we were the only ones with a photo and an Idol history book. It truly ruined the moment and though he was nice enough to stop, sign and take a picture with he did believe his signature was going to be sold. As we walked away I did call someone that does sell on EBAY and he looked up what his signed photos were and what sold. The highest he told me was $ 1.25. That's correct 1.25. It costs me $1.85 for the cost of printing the photo. So I lost money. Next time I ever see LEE again , instead of an autograph I will ask for the difference. LOL
