The Year of the David

So it is the two Davids. No one is surprised. I was surprised Syesha was number three, but other than that, no biggie.

I like the talent of David Cook better, but his arrogance is so off-putting. If I was choosing the American Idol, I would have to choose him, as he is mature and has the talent and sex appeal already in place.

David Archuleta's talent is amazing, but I can't see him as anything other than a little boy. I just don't see him selling records to anyone other than 10-year-old girls. He would be a flash in the pan and will go the way of Leif Garrett and <insert the name here of whichever boy whose poster you had on your wall as a 12-year-old>. If I was a betting person, and I am not, I would bet this is the David who will be the next American Idol.

More importantly, I think that back to back winners of Jordan Sparks and David Archuleta could be a death blow to Idol. They are both artists of no relevance. Sorry at how unkind that sounds, but I want to tell the truth on this blog.

On a positive note, I applaud Idol for having the most talented top 10 in memory. This year's talent was impressive. I know this year's cast was blasted for being absent of personality and any fire, but I thought it was a cast of singers who truly sang from the heart and who sang with passion. I'll take that over someone who will smart off at Simon any day. Please, however, remove Danny Noriega from any compliment I might have placed on this year's cast. I disliked him immensely from the beginning. That head snapping smart mouth thing he thought was his image was transparent and silly. And he was the only one among the final 24 who was truly without any talent whatsoever. Other than him - bravo to this year's Idol cast!
