‘American Idol’ winner Lee DeWyze’s ‘Fight’ video is pretty adorable

There are few times that we would ever use the word “adorable” to describe a music video, but for those of you questioning the word choice in this context, we have one piece of advice for you: Just watch what Lee DeWyze did with “Fight” below!  You’ll understand so much better where we are coming from.

The idea of using these little cloth puppets makes this entire video feel like a level of “LittleBigPlanet”, which we are totally fine with given how much we love “LittleBigPlanet.” It also tells a story of a puppet trying to fight back for his love after forgetting an anniversary, and somehow dinosaurs and aliens get involved here. We almost recommend watching it twice, that way you get all the little things that are happening in it.

“Fight” is one of the songs on Lee’s most-recent album “Frames,” which you can get now on iTunes or anywhere else in which great music is sold. Unfortunately, “American Idol” has moved away at times this year from its tradition of bringing back past contestants for the results shows, which is even more of a bummer for those of you who would like to see Lee or many other former contestants back on the show soon. With the results shows shifting down to just a half-hour starting this week, it is ultimately even more unlikely than it was previously. (We say all of this as someone who would love to see Lee and a few others get an opportunity for another return performance at some point.)

In getting back to “Fight,” what makes this video even more impressive is that Lee co-wrote and co-directed the video with Andrew Michael Golden, which means he was basically involved in every aspect from start to finish.
