No surprise at all. Tommy Lee wanted Lukas since before the show started taping. Newsted has been telling Lukas every week exactly what he needs to do to win because he wanted Lukas if Lukas could get comfortable with teh different aspects of his voice and was willing to work on things. I don't think Gilby was convinced until they started doing song writing clinics and Lukas really started to change things up to suit his voice and style. The last few weeks he completely had Gilby and as soon as Gilby said "when you perform you inspire me" a couple weeks back Lukas had it in the bag.
As for the whole marble mouth thing...much of the stuff on youtube is easily understood and it has lousy sound and last night on all three songs (his cover and the two Supernova crap songs) he was easily understandable. That won't be a problem. The problem won't stem from teh singer at all no matter if they picked someone else...it'll stem from the fact that the songs thus far range from average to terrible.
