American Idol: Moodagent compares Lee DeWyze and The Box Tops Singing The Letter

Lee DeWyzeThis week, American Idol contestant Lee DeWyze performed The Letter, the break-away hit written by Alex Chilton, who passed away on March 17th. Moodagent shows how — and how much — Lee changed the mood of the The Box Tops’ hit. The mood profile shows his cover has different settings for 4 of the 5 sliders. He kept the same passion (red) and changed up the rest. His cover has less tenderness (orange). Instead it has more happiness (yellow) and anger (purple) and a faster tempo (gray).
