I disagree with Simon..I thought round one went to Cook. Arch sang OK, but stayed in the same octave. He has NO range at all.

David A sings one ballard song after another - same old, same old over and over again!

Thats right, I'm blocking all the phone lines voting for David A.

I am and have been a BIG David Cook fan

. . . . . . but,

Archletta showed stuff tonite he hasn't shown all season.

He will be THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL 2008.

If Cook would have killed, he "might" have had a chance, but he didn't. (crap!!)

Although I am sure it really won't affect the career of COOK, since he will be doing the Daughtry thing soon enough.

He is probably working on the "second" album already

I agree that David A showed some range that he had not previously shown. Still, I didn't find those moments to be enough to make me think that his album would be very interesting...

David C did not perform at the standards he previously set with Billie Jean, Eleanor Rigby, or Hello, but still I thought he performed like a pro and was ultimately more interesting than David A.

David A will likely win this competition, but I think David C will have the more successful music career...

My wife and I watched the show last night and she commented to me how impressive David A's voice is especially considering he is only 17. When the AI Season began I actually thought David A was the most talented contestant but I tired of the same old type of songs week after week. As stated in previous posts I started voting for David C because I would buy his album(s) just as I have purchased Daughtry.

I was disappointed last night in the subpar effort delivered by David C (although I still voted for him many times - I will be true to the end). While watching the performance I had the feeling he was conceding and I am reasonably certain David A will be the champ.

Looking back at this season I really enjoyed it (except for the darn commercials). I wonder if they will elect to keep Paula next year as she really adds nothing but her looks to the program!

I fully agree. The broadcasting companies are all about money; they won't change a thing (including judges) as long as the ratings are high and corporate sponsors aren't making demands.

I hope both Davids are caught in a gay love tryst and dopey Seacrest has to announce their disqualification and perform the gay act via a mime routine.
Me, angry? Never.

I have mixed reactions to the clip of poor contestants. One should not make fun of some individuals who IMO seemed to be handicapped.

Frank:

I am still in shock! I voted last night for two solid hours as fast as the phone would answer and register my vote. David Cook will be a commercially successful American Idol winner as has been Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson!

I still cannot believe David C won by 12 million votes!

I'm pretty amazed that he won. He was clearly the more interesting of the two, and had a much better range. I could see my 11 year old daughters liking David A, but even they got bored with him and voted for Cook. I would buy David C's album, but I'm sure my kids will beat me to it.

Another year went by on AI without a mention of Taylor Who?
