Teenie boopers kept david a in the race. dont get me wrong the two davids are great guys, but cook is outstanding. cook will have a better longer career...archie's style is nice but it seems to vanish quicker in america. people want spunk to their music!

Dave A all the Way! He's a one in a million talent, modest, clean-cut raving talent.

MSanaya Wed, May 21, 2008 at 10:20 AM EST

I find it so incredible that the public assumes the worst of people they don't know but see on TV. I like both david's & both are talented regardless of what your musical style is. Comments like David Cook seems arrogant are so strange as they are automatically assuming something negative about someone who has been humble, courteous, & complimentary to everyone around him on the show. Fellow idol contestants have all raved about how David C has helped them and yet people keep going on about his arrogance. Humility is often mistaken as arrogance. Not everyone expresses themselves outward and puts there emotion on their sleeve for the public to feed off. Some people have composure and self respect which is a sign of maturity- not arrogance. Both Davi's are talented and worthy of success and all this banter about who changed what lyric and who stole a song - is all nonsense & rumor- and everyone buys into it and makes assumptions about contestants they don't and will not never know.

carol Tue, May 20, 2008 at 10:26 PM EST

MY,MY WHY THE INCREDIBEL RUDENESS, DAVIS A, IS REALLY TALENTED, HE MAY BE YOUNG, BUT TGE YOUNG GROW UP AND MATURE. HE HAS A FANTASTIC VOICE AND DESERVES TO WIN THE TITLE. CARRIE UNDERWOOD WAS YOUNG AND LOOK AT HER NOW! LEAVE THE BOY ALONE AND YOUR NASTY COMMENTS TO YOURSELF! HE'S GONNA WIN AND SESERVES IT!

lou Tue, May 20, 2008 at 01:37 PM EST

I really dislike David A.'s showmanship and singing. He is much too young for this competition and it shows -- he has no breathing technique, cannot move or dance or think for himself when it comes to performing...he may have a decent voice, but it takes more than that to be a performer and have any kind of career. i also wonder if this is what HE wants or what others want to capitolize on from him.

Debby Tue, May 20, 2008 at 10:52 AM EST

David C will make it only in a band. David A will make it anyway, H is the next American Idol.

junmar Mon, May 19, 2008 at 06:56 AM EST

it's really with the judges how to judge the contestant.it does'nt mean that ur not on the top list u are worthed.some dicision were not agreable by popviewers.simply winning is in the eye of the beholder.dream high!

Richard Nair Mon, May 19, 2008 at 12:54 AM EST

David Archuleta is no doubt, the outstanding winner 2008. The boy is very good indeed.

Susie Sun, May 18, 2008 at 06:20 PM EST

I enjoy listening to David A. I believe he's a good kid. A lot of people don't see good kids very often, I mean look at Miley Cyrus, she's squeaky clean and the minute that photo came out people jumped on her so fast to try and bring a good kid down. As for "stage dad" that was labeled by Naomi Judd; if I recall wasn't she a stage mom herself. She was living in Winona's stardom herself. David's family loves him and they are being protective, I think people find that so hard to believe. They will find what they can to get a story, I mean good guys/girls always finish last. In this case we're all rooting that he is crown American Idol. I watch David Cook, and he seeks arrogant, and I wonder if he got permission to change other artist's lyrics. But, when David A. changed lyrics everyone jumped on him. But yet David Cook can change his and make it "orginal" did he get permission? We pray David Archuleta wins!

Mrs. Archuleta Sun, May 18, 2008 at 05:11 PM EST

I think David A. has the potential to win. David C., to me, is very forgettable. I enjoy DA's soulful vibe he brings into every song. I really hope he wins, but the chances are higher for DC, so VOTE all ya DA fans!

Bert S Sun, May 18, 2008 at 09:12 AM EST

In my opinion, the big difference between the 2 Davids is: David Archuleta has CHARISMA, which David Cook obviously lacks. Because of this CHARISMA, David A will last for a long long time. David Cook will fade into obscurity in a couple of years. Mark my words.

Kathleen Sun, May 18, 2008 at 02:45 AM EST

Nigel:It is unfair what you are doing to DAVID A and his family.You and your judges(PA and DC)are giving DC a free pass to win this competition.You took away the best song(I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing)that was approved for DA to sing and gave it to COOK.DA ended up with the most boring song"longer"and then you allowed your judges to criticize him publically as it was his fault.SC had the nerves giving credits to DC indicating that it was the best song of all time and he has won the night.We could not understand why credits went to DC when he did choose the song himself and did not sing well that night??He was pitchy and sounded awful.Stop pretending that you are trying to do DA a favor!The only reason you banned his dad from the set was because you knew that he would have spoken up and defended his son.You have made this an unfair competition and in the end you will pay for loosing significant amount of viewers like us.DC may win due to your efforts but DA is the only AI in our eyes!

Sam Lim Fri, May 16, 2008 at 10:00 PM EST

Dear Mr. Nigel Lythgoe,

Please I beg of you to keep American Idol credibility intact if you want the show to last longer. There is so much controversy going on especially with David Archuleta; I hope you are not using him for rating purposes. Remember he is just a contestant and a kid who just have a dream and his Dad is just helping him to make his dream come true; the father always has the best interest at heart of his beloved son and I believe you don't know there family dynamic. And I also hope you are not doing any negative campaign about his father that HE IS A STAGE DAD FROM HELL. Lastly, if you are a father you know what I am talking about. I hope this will reach you.

MORE SUCCESS TO AMERICAN IDOL.

Sincerely,
Sam Lim

Well said. Blatantly stupid remarks from people who size people up by what they read or see in a facial expression. If you want to do a character analysis on somebody, try actually sitting down and talking with them first, before making lame comments. DUHHHH!

Cathy Fri, May 16, 2008 at 07:48 AM EST

You guys are a bunch of idiots...what rock star is not a little cocky. He has been in front 7 out of the past 8 weeks...hello! David Cook is the next American Idol. And I called that from top 12.

Fri, May 16, 2008 at 05:34 AM EST

David Arculeta is a very good singer. He delivers it with a lot of feeling and emotions, it touches poeples heart,makes poeple feel good! Poeple complains about he only sings ballads, I guess those poeple are not aware that David was called the soul man from Utah.Can David cook sing soul? No he can't! not like David A. The young man is truly a good good good singer.He is my Frank Sinatra. A rocker like David Cook comes and go and there is more rocker to come but you can only find a good singer in one in a million.

eddie Fri, May 16, 2008 at 05:13 AM EST

David Cook has arrogant look. He show it everytime judges gave him praise. Nobody likes aarrogant,but everybody likes humble poeple and that's David Archuleta.Even Simon told him that and also he has no whatsoever any charisma. His hair, his beard looks so untidy. Thats one of the reason I never like him from the very beggining of the show and the time that the two judges praise him he really thinks he was all that and Simon Cowell slap him with reality by telling him that. That was the earliest part of the season.

barbie Thu, May 15, 2008 at 01:22 PM EST

David C. has a great voice, but his attitude and arrogance stops us from voting for him... bye bye DC hello DA

CC Thu, May 15, 2008 at 11:49 AM EST

'And WOW, DA was SOOOOO different singing, since his father has been put in his place.'
Puleeeeese!
He looked and sounded as he always did. Predictable and saccarine.

CAROL Thu, May 15, 2008 at 11:43 AM EST

DAVID A IS A DREAM, A GOOD CLEAN CUT LOOKING YOUNG MAN. HE IS SWEET, HE IS AN ANGEL, AND SINGS LIKE ONE AS WELL. WHO SAID THAT NICE GUYS FINISH LAST..DAVID A, LOOKS LIKE AN AMERICAN IDOL BEHAVES LIKE ONE AND WILL BE ONE! WOW WHAT A CHANGE? A REAL, FRESH.. BREATH OF AIR... HOW UNIQUE. GO ARCHIE. WE LOVE YOU.

Jeffrey Thu, May 15, 2008 at 11:40 AM EST

Hey, it may be me, but it seemed to me that David A. sang more convincingly and soulfully on "And So It Goes" that he ever had before; I expected him to crumble without his father's assistance, but it looked like the opposite.

Pathetic Thu, May 15, 2008 at 09:01 AM EST

It's amazingly stupid how people read into things that aren't there. If David C. raises his eyebrow or worse yet, furrows it, he's branded with a character flaw. If David A. comes out 'smiling' that means his dad has been laying off him. You people should get jobs at the TMZ or Star magazine, or maybe join the Spock Mind-melding fan club. Your character assessments are ridiculous.
I pity these poor guys for having to be constantly scrutinized by you.

Cat Thu, May 15, 2008 at 07:38 AM EST

I 100% agree with the producers. I'm not an Archuletta fan, but this week the kid sounded and looked a lot more happiers, and really looked like for the first time in the entire competition that he was enjoying himself. There was a different aura coming from him. I also agree that it makes the competition more fair because if David wants to be in this industry he's got to prove him can just like all the other contestants.

jane Thu, May 15, 2008 at 01:10 AM EST

we should be thankful that at least nigel lythgoe explained what had really happened...to people who are saying negative, offensive things about the young boy David, please stop it! he is just 17...if david cook wins then let it be and if david archuleta wins then it's God's will.

StageMom Wed, May 14, 2008 at 08:56 PM EST

re: Daddy Dearest Wed, May 14 06:26 PM EST
I think once the Idol producers decided Cook would make the better Idol, they started to tighten the reins on Jeff Archuleta. They knew Little David would tremble and whimper onstage without Daddy Dearest calling the shots for him.
- - - -
While I don't disagree that Cook will be a little better at selling songs (they missed the boat with Daughtry), but Arch is what? Just 17. Cook was a bartender and little more savvy.

Evelyn Wed, May 14, 2008 at 07:10 PM EST

Unfair to do this to David Archuleta at this stage of the competition. I think it is totally unfair and may change my feeling for even being an American Idol fan. David Archuleta is my American Idol this year. American Idol should rethink this move at this stage of the competition. Get real.

Archieeeee Wed, May 14, 2008 at 06:59 PM EST

Archuleta is the best singer..
Cook looks arrogant he thinks he is the best..
but Archie is better than him. sorry

Cook will do the AI franchise proud with his marketability, his excellent speaking skills, and his killer vocals. If I were an AI producer, I'd promote the heck out of Cook, too. It makes good business sense, and this is, after all, show BUSINESS.

re: Betty Wed, May 14, 2008 at 02:32 PM EST - I think Syesha should win the title...

Syesha is a ham, with limited range and limited singing talent, she does have stage presence though. I see her doing 7 shows a day at "Six Flags" for the next five years before her 15 minutes of fame is up. The boys are much better singers & musicians with better vocal ranges and musical skillsets. I could care less who wins.

Stephanie T. Wed, May 14, 2008 at 01:37 PM EST

No, no, no. It has nothing to do with fairness. We just want everyone to have an equal opportunity, and if that's fairness, fine.

It IS called "fairness". An Englishman does not know what that word means? Oi.

Alex Wed, May 14, 2008 at 01:11 PM EST

bootsie

Clive Davis is a genius and run out by music business no nothings who are running the label into the ground. Even Kelly admitted the Clive was right about the last CD and she was wrong. You were right about not being dropped...but not about the Clive/Kelly or why he is out. If you notice the only hits that label had in the last 3 years were from Clive's sub label.

bootsie Wed, May 14, 2008 at 01:02 PM EST

Kelly Clarkson was NOT about to be dropped by her label, she just had artistic differences with Clive Davis. Who is no longer in that position. Her concert tour w/Reba got good reviews and was mostly sold out, as was her Australian and British tour. She wasn't a predetermined winner, but she prevailed over the two favorites and has worked her butt off ever since, always trying to improve as an artist. Try to get your facts straight instead of just trying to make them fit your argument.

jersey boy rob Wed, May 14, 2008 at 12:31 PM EST

Archie has finally showed what's he made of, and it's not much. He can sing all the cheesy ballads he wants, but put a real power vocal song in there and he'll show his limitations. I think the name of his first album should be called "Lullabyes and Insomnia Cures." As good as his voice is, there's only so many ballads I can deal with. Sorry Archie, you're gonna need Betty and Veronica's shoulders to cry on.
Syesha will probably go home, but she's already stamped herself as a performer and has a great future ahead of her, particularly on Broadway. Plus the fact that she is absolutely gorgeous.
Which brings us to Cook, and man can he cook! He should win this thing, because he's the most daring and original one there. This is a superstar in the making, and he'll sell records like Daughtry does. A rocker will finally win, or should.

John Wed, May 14, 2008 at 12:14 PM EST

To Not an AI Fan:

Who are the folks that take this way too seriously? Sounds like you are one of 'em.

I love watching the AI bashers - often they are more fanatical about the show than most of the rest of us. I didn't even tune in last night.

Sites like VotefortheWorst are really just AI-focused sites. They pump the popularity of the show in much the same way that folks who hated Howard Stern amped his ratings way back when.

So keep on hating - it's obvious to even the casual observer that you're more hooked than most of the rest of us. Maybe you even tried out and got panned - not even on the bad tryout tape or anything - just three "No"s and you run back to your keyboard in tears to write your next scathing comment.

GG fanboi ;)

WildKAT Wed, May 14, 2008 at 11:53 AM EST

Waaay too late, Nigel Lithgoe. Your SPIN IS TOTAL CRAP. You are lying to cover your butt and we know it. David Archuleta CHEATED. He should have been KICKED from the show. He was told by your staff to NOT change lyrics and yet with full awareness he performed the altered song. By allowing him to continue here is YOUR MESSAGE TO AMERICAN TEENS: It is perfectly OK to cheat in order to win because YOU do. After hearing of your announcement on BBC nearly TWO WEEKS BEFORE the finale of Bo Bice/Carrie Underwood contest that she would win, we posted it and the Bo Bice fan Board crashed. A.I. is rigged. We know you pick the "winners" regardless of the American voters. You WILL make sure Archuleta wins no matter that he lacks star potential, is boring and without stage presence, slobbers all over himself, can't remember lyrics and can't even speak a full sentence when asked one. American Idol has become a TOTAL JOKE. You want to change things, then GET HONEST. WE are NOT FOOLED any more.

Chris Wed, May 14, 2008 at 11:32 AM EST

David Archuleta is so fake!!! He should never win!!!

Not an AI fan Wed, May 14, 2008 at 11:24 AM EST

@kevin:
I'll give you Carrie Underwood, yes. I won't deny that a show like AI can help bring forth a really talented person to the mainstream who might not have otherwise made it as big without help.

Clarkson's last effort hasn't done well, and she was almost dropped from her label before "My December" even came out. Daughtry wouldn't be as much of a success without AI either, and I think there's a lot of people who'd BLAME the show for that than praise it. Does the industry need another rock/grunge band clone? Is it any surprise that AI is trying to pimp David C as a winner? Just listen to the judges comments to David A and Syesha last night. They trashed them to try to sway viewer voting. Why? So when David C. wins, AI controls his record deals and they can cash in where they couldn't because Daughtry was not the official winner, and instead worked with a different label. Rock/grunge is easily marketable and easy money. That's what it comes to and why David A. can't win.

kevin Wed, May 14, 2008 at 11:00 AM EST

To Not an AI Fan:

You may be right that there have been winners dropped by their labels, but certainly not Carrie Underwood or Kelly Clarkson, Carrie being the all time winner and don't forget about Daughtry, ok so out of 7 seasons we came up with 3 real winners. Fantasia, Taylor Hicks and the guy that won over Clay Aiken, can't remember his name, I agree they probably have been been dropped by their labels because they're downright awful, esp Hicks, he was a loser from the getgo

Chris Wed, May 14, 2008 at 10:55 AM EST

David Cook is the new American Idol!!!

Not an AI fan Wed, May 14, 2008 at 10:52 AM EST

And you people who loved Carly Smithson? Were you one of the ~400 people who bought her first album released around 9/11? Did you support her by purchasing it after you found out she'd already had her chance in the music industry as Carly Hennesey? She was a massive failure back then, and rightfully deserved the boot from the show. She'd already had her chance, but because she had a personal working relationship with Randy Jackson, she got a second chance. And she bombed.

Not an AI fan Wed, May 14, 2008 at 10:43 AM EST

You people take this show waaay too seriously. From Season 1, the show's been rigged to finding the people with a story to sell to the TV-watching masses. At least that gives them a semblance of personality (because we all know they failed in that area this season). The show really should be called Karaoke Popularity Contest. There's nothing redeeming about the show. What the people go through week-to-week just to prepare to be on TV and sing a song that's been done better, usually the original artists, with only a fraction of their talent is also unjustifiable. But I guess it doesn't matter - they signed the contracts just for a 15 minute window of fame. Previous AI winners have all been dropped by their labels, all forgotten by you, their once faithful viewers/fans when the next season comes along. Nevermind that everyone seems to have already forgotten about Paula's mistake last week, proving how fake the show is. And there's been plenty of evidence before that, too.

minime Wed, May 14, 2008 at 10:41 AM EST

I think that it's a GREAT idea banning Jeff Archuleta from David's practices and choosing his music. Jeff has been known in the past to be disruptive and a problem causer (not just being overprotective). I feel that it hurts David's character when he does this. I feel for the kid. David has a great future ahead of him...if his father doesn't blow it for him. His voice is angelic and he is WHERE HE SHOULD BE....AN AMERICAN IDOL!!!! David also needs to know that he can do this on his own. That will give him the confidence and strength he needs to persevere in the music industry because he is so young. DAVID ARCHULETA has my vote for the next AMERICAN IDOL!!!!

Babs Wed, May 14, 2008 at 10:31 AM EST

To K
you think david A. has a great stage appearance and is sexy . The kid looks like a robot with no brain. He looks so uncomfortable on stage I have to change the channel whenever he sings. He can't answer questions and isn't poised at all. I stopped watching when I realized the two David were already picked by producers to be in the final. David A. messes up lyrics and the judges tell him how great he is even Simon Kissed up to producers . I will not watch AI again

missy Wed, May 14, 2008 at 10:26 AM EST

David Cook is the better choice for American Idol. He's more well rounded & he's more mature. I really don't care who wins. Both Davids will do well no matter what happens.

carol Wed, May 14, 2008 at 10:08 AM EST

David A. doesn't have the "star" potential just yet. David Cook would be the best "money maker" right now and David A. is more suited for a "theme park" job.

bootsy Wed, May 14, 2008 at 10:06 AM EST

As a mother I see a scared lttle boy bullied by his father for perfection. Keeping him away from his son a great idea. You can see the fear on David's face.

Rudy Wed, May 14, 2008 at 08:59 AM EST

David A....he is very boring in my opinion and should have been booted along time ago...he really ISN'T that good a singer at all....just appealing to the tweenies and their mommy's....

Karen Wed, May 14, 2008 at 08:57 AM EST

Robin, I really wish you had stayed away. David Cook is not smug-he's confident in his own abilities. Big difference. He may not be ground-breaking, but he is certainly more original than the rest of the contestants this season. And quit kidding yourself that this is purely a singing contest. Even if it were, Archie has dropped so many lyrics that he should have been booted for that long ago. And he proved last night that he doesn't have a contemporary sining bone in his body.

Rudy Wed, May 14, 2008 at 08:57 AM EST

If this show was really based on singing talent...the last two standing should be David Cook and Carly..but the sad thing as we have seen, it is NOT about their singing talent...I have about had it with this show....

CAP Wed, May 14, 2008 at 08:27 AM EST

After last nights show I am positive it is going to be a "David" showdown! My favorite is David A., however, David C. is great as well! I have to say, personally, I would not be unhappy if either won! No matter about David A's Dad or whatever else happens I believe David A. is going to do well! I can't believe that Nick said the best of the two singers, Clay and Ruben, was Ruben.....going back in time now! Clay is sooooooo much more talented than Ruben...it is so outrageous that Ruben won that year! Clay is the best and has the best voice of any past or future AI contestant! Yes, I am a huge Clay Aiken fan and snatched his latest CD up the day it came out...anyway, look for the two David's in the showdown! Also, I will buy David A's CD when he makes one!

T-Wil Wed, May 14, 2008 at 07:36 AM EST

The fact of the matter is that people are saying the boy's father has him in tears all the pressure and what not, the kid is a one trick pony though like someone said, he is terribly boring, he messed up the Chris Brown lyrics last night too. He reminds me of Clay Aiken...a one trick pony, at the end of the day nobody will be rushing to buy his records and if he comes on the radio nobody will be dying to hear him, now Cook is another story, the boy had Talent, Syesha killed herself with fever last night so I am not even pressed about her.

David Cook is not qualified to shine Chris Daughtry's shoes, let alone stand in them! ARCHULETA ALL THE WAY, at least HE can actually sing (screaming does not = singing)

sani Wed, May 14, 2008 at 01:57 AM EST

Susie B Wed, May 14, 2008 at 01:48 AM EST

Also, how did someone know hours before the show that David Archuleta was singing a Chris Brown song? Jeff, talk to me..!!

Susie B Wed, May 14, 2008 at 01:46 AM EST

American Idol has become stale. It never really became the show I thought it would be which in my mind was to find the next Justin Timberlake or Britney Spears. I've hated just about every winner and everyone I did think had potential got voted off way too early. I personally don't see the appeal in David C..he has a really big head too! He looks like a giant in comparison to Ryan Seacrest. Anyway of the 3, I would likely prefer David A to win, but I think it will be David Cook...another Jordin Sparks...and I hated everyone in that season too. Time to go American Idol...more like bone idle.

cleary david cook is set to win, he is the highest in votes on dial idol

the person who comes in second is lucky as they are not locked into the contract like the winner-- just like daughtry, it doesnt matter who wins

and how fair is it to put a 17 (barely 17) year old against a 27 year old pro. Clearly Cook is better at picking out songs.. This Idol is Over, Cook won--but everyone in the top 5 will get a record deal :-)

Jeff Archuletta Wed, May 14, 2008 at 01:35 AM EST

I agree that i should be in jail or psychiatric ward. I'm an obnoxious azzhole and will do anything to see my son win. Didn't you know that I picked Carly and Ramiele's outfits every night? I also told them which songs to sing in order to sabotage them. I told Brooke to start over whenever she forgets her words, and I slipped some of Paula's stash into Jason Castro's drink. I made Amanda think that her skunk hairdo is gorgeous, brain-washed Luke Menard into singing Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, and told Danny that talking back and being flamboyant will win him fans.

We love both of DAVID'S so much...
David Cook arrangement is really brilliant, and his voice is amazing too!!
David Archuleta is the best ballad/pop singer that we ever heard, and his voice is amazing like David Cook!!

Still vote for both of DAVID'S....

TaRessa Wed, May 14, 2008 at 01:26 AM EST

To robin: you are obviously Jeff Archuleta. David Archuleta is an abused kid and is annoying to listen to because all he does is oooohhh his way through his song. I cannot take another run-filled and melisma-driven performance from him. And his dad should be in jail. Or psychiatric hospital.

I am not a teeny bopper and I voted for David A. I think his voice is amazing and I will buy his music. I don't see how the show is favoring him as was stated by some people. On the contrary, they certainly did not do him any favors tonight. The song picked by the producers was terrible for him, the back up singers were too loud and the arrangement did not work for him or show off his voice at all. It seems like this week they did about everything they could do to hurt his chances including releasing the story about his dad on the day he was having his hometown visit. By the way, he is a fun, happy kid at home with lots of friends and a family that supports and loves him. He is not gay or abused. He is a great person, does well in school, and tries to be nice to everyone. He is an idealist that believes we can make the world a better place. He has a voice that moves and touches people of all ages.If it is not your thing then listen to who you like and quit hating.

I thinks that Jeff Archelettha is doing it with his son. Nasty.

Markh13 Tue, May 13, 2008 at 11:13 PM EST

I think I just saw the most blatant attempt to fix a reality show in TV history. Shame on you American Idol. Time to move on to another show.

kk Tue, May 13, 2008 at 11:13 PM EST

I wish Nigel had done this earlier in the season. I believe DA's father acted like a manager/coach giving him an unfair advantage over the other contestants. I now wonder if AI is having regrets. DC did a great job on "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", but I have to admit I was missing Jason. There is just something about his voice that I love.

Montey Tue, May 13, 2008 at 11:00 PM EST

Randy said that David A. could sing a Phone book and it would be great. Thats because I could open a phone book and pick someone and they could sing better that David A.

Rick Tue, May 13, 2008 at 10:57 PM EST

The only thing that's boring here are all the usual musician wannabe's. David A is a fresh talent.

Jolly Johanna Tue, May 13, 2008 at 10:56 PM EST

I think the word "idol" is a bit too much when it comes to talent. America's favorite would be more appropriate really. And even then, is it all of America's favorite? Syeesha seems the only really talented singer, with a chance to really go places. The other two have some talent, but I have heard hetter. Good luck Syeesha.

Amy Tue, May 13, 2008 at 10:50 PM EST

Get real people! David A is SOOO BORING! I can definitely hear the same thing on a cruise ship. GO DAVID C!!!!!!!!!

Guamie Tue, May 13, 2008 at 10:45 PM EST

It’s all about demographics. A win for David Archuleta strikes fear in certain typical music junkies because the appeal isn’t just to people like them. I rarely paid attention to AI until Archuleta came along.

Linda Tue, May 13, 2008 at 10:43 PM EST

David A. has the best quality if you're talking singing talent. David C. is kind of smug and faking sweet thank-you humble stuff...BUT he does possess star quality along with singing well. Syesha, did I even spell her name right? She is mediocre compared to either David. Token female! David A. should win based on singing ability.

Montey Tue, May 13, 2008 at 10:40 PM EST

David A sounds the same every week, All he knows is the same ol boring , NO vocal ability, slow songs. David Cook knows how to reach a higher level with his voice. The only reason that David A. is still around is because of the teeny bopper girl vote. Syesha is much better than David A. but she wont make it any further because of the teen girl vote for David A.

David Cook is only 25 years old and obviously, Idol is a chance for him to get known. We had not heard of Daughtry before Idol, but Daughtry was the biggest selling CD of the year. David Cook is the real thing--singer, musician, writer, arranger--if David A is so talented, why has he had no career since winning Star Search (a national TV show)? He is very young for his age and his voice is simply not the type of voice that sells CD's. David Cook is ready to be a superstar and handle what comes with it. David A needs some time to grow up and run his own career for a while. His unsuccessful attempt to sing a contemporary song tonight shows just how unmarketable he is. I hope that the producers were listening carefully, because although he is a talented child, he needs a few more lessons before he is ready--and this is for his own good. Idol needs to have somebody win who can sell CD's and perform on stage effectively. David Cook is the one who should win this year.

Karem Tue, May 13, 2008 at 10:30 PM EST

That father seems like a real creep. David A. has a very disturbing affect, and while some may find him endearing, he rubs me the wrong way. He has a pleasant voice, but, he is exceedingly dull. Maybe it's because he doesn't sing my style of music, but, what bothers me the most is the way it seems like the show had picked him as the winner from the very beginning. I think that's what's empowered his domineering stage dad. He feels like he has that right because he knows that they had chosen the kid all along, and feels he is in a position of power. I don't buy this ruse of stating publicly that he's banned from backstage. I believe they already have verbal agreements to sign him, and that's that. Idol really plummeted this year. I think it's going to be a swift decline after the strange boy wins. Why watch this show anymore? I don't care if the public really picks the idol, but, why does it have to go to such a numbingly uninspiring tot? Goodbye Idol.

Herculeon Tue, May 13, 2008 at 10:07 PM EST

If David Cook is the REAL DEAL then why has no one ever heard of him before??? American Idol is a TALENT CONTEST people....Every contestant brings something special with them stop being a HATER just because you are SELFISH AND WANT YOUR FAVOURITE TO WIN.

I want an Archuletta/Mercado final because I am sick and tired of people trying to tell David Cook is the REAL THING!!!

cHArlOTSmTh Tue, May 13, 2008 at 10:03 PM EST

I am so tired of this bull. Nigel needs to call it quits with this idol thing and start something like "Clown Idols",, cause that is all this show has become..... and the judges needs to be the clowns

kcboricua Tue, May 13, 2008 at 09:54 PM EST

Whatever is the raw non PC reason it looks like David's dad wants this more than the kid. This is the classic living vicariously thru your child taken to an unhealthy extreme! Like the 100K David won on Star Search apparently was not enough.
