MY FAVORITE D. ARCHULETA

Trials are not the basis for winning a contest, my goodness, I should win a million for my trials. Both of these young men are very talented, they both have good and bad moments, tonight the good was in David A's court. I believe that before tonight, I would have leaned towards Dave Cook, but he was outdone on all three numbers. Even Simon, who was saying that David Cook should win, declared that David A was the winner tonight, and Simon is respected by the fans. He is brutally honest, but I would rather have him tell me that my voice was bad or my dress, than to have Paula smile and say, "you look so nice tonight", that is her saying, you did awful. Randy tends to like to follow Paula's lead, and yes, they are more respectful, but they are not being truthful much of the time.

I voted for David Cook. He deserves it more . He has definately worked hard for this. But, even if he loses, I predict Cook will be the bigger success. He is talented, sexy, original and nice. David A. could be a teen idol, but David C. has staying power...

Both were good all season....David A. won the battle tonight and as much as I hate to say it.....deserves to win because of it.

Simon's comment on Leno makes his later comment that Archuleta delivered a "knockout" in the final all the more significant.

Cmon, Simon. I generally agree with your comments. But a person doesn't win because of he's got a worse life than the other. One should win because of his talent, not because he had a harder life than the other contestant. Gheez. And you always ask on the show if it's a talent or a popularity contest?

David A has a great vocal ability, but he has no depth, can't move well, no variety. Not a good performer. Boring!!! Now David Cook is brilliant, sexy, has fantastic vocals, is creative, interesting, moves well, plays guitar. I thought it was great that he sang without the guitar, then with electric, then with acoustic guitar. He is the American Idol!!! i would rather see Cook perform than Archuleta any day. David Cook is the one!

After tonight's performance.. it looks like Archie wanted it more. I was very underwhelmed by Cookster. Go ARCHIE!!!!

awatcher

even though david a had a better night than david c,

david cook had a better season, so he wins in my opinion.

I was one of the lucky souls who got into the Nokia. The irony is that I went as a huge HUGE Dave Cook fan (and frankly not a fan at all of little "Archie")and I came out totally blown away by Archuletta... if you were in the house you would know that Simon was dead-on, that kid was amazing (at least tonight or maybe live?). His voice sails, no SOARS!!! He was just on a whole other level than Cook (who certainly must have had a bad night???) Anyway, I am totally blown away by that kid's voice and talent... 17??? I'll never forget this night for as long as I live... and I'm in my 40's... and **** no I ain't gay either! I still can't believe what I heard. That kid has the most amazing chops I've ever heard... and that's saying something. Even Clive said the kid's the best male vocalist he's ever heard, he puts him right up there in Whitney's league. What I heard tonight was a good singer and a GREAT singer... they were just the opposite of what I was expecting going in.

As Simon said at the end of the show, David Archuleta won all three rounds. Winnner by a TKO.

Cook could still win but his poor song selections on Tuesday likely cost him the AI title.

ARCHULETA WILL WIN!!! ALL THE WAY BABY!!! LOVE YOU AND YOUR VOICE!! <333

At this point, it doesn't really matter who wins or who loses (as in the past #2 can outsell #1). BOTH will do tremendously well and will have the opportunity to have their careers launched in a huge way. Good luck to David A and David C!

talking about total package? DC has it! if you want to close your eyes and listen to the song...DA's voice has it,but to watch him perform? BORING!

D. C. Fan

One night does not sum up the whole season. In my opinion it WAS NOT a TKO for Archuletta.. He is a cutie, and very humble... BUT not a performer!! David Cook has the whole package... He can sing any genre of music, he moves well, plays to the audience.. I think he defines American Idol much better than Archuletta. Good Luck DAVID COOK!!!

holladay

David Cook does not have great vocals...I can barely understand any of his lyrics because his diction is poor. On the other hand, Archuleta sings clearly. This is a singing contest and when pressure was greatest to perform, the little kid out did the adult. Way to go!
