Finals

Round 1:

1. David C rocked. Perfect song choice. Loved it.
2. David A was terrific. Perfect song. Flawless voice.

I thought it was a draw.

Round 2

1. David C's song was yuk. The last note was nothing more than a scream. I don't know what the judges were thinking. If this was a Top 12 elimination round song, he would have been hammered.

2. David A's song was icky. I really have grown weary of platitude songs. He was perfect.

Round Two hugely goes to David A.

Round 3

1. I'm just not feeling David C tonight and he is my favorite. I don't know what is up. That was totally forgettable.

I am predicting David A. will bring the house down with Imagine. Before he wraps up the show, let me say, I thought David C would have to drop off the stage for me to change my mind. David A's voice is flawless and his future is certain. He is a star. But he is a boy, and that makes him less attractive as an American Idol to me. But, I'll tell you. David C might have just fallen off the stage.

2. Wow. Perfect again. If he doesn't win, won't it be an interesting study of how someone can be a flawless performer/singer consistently and not win American Idol.

Round Three goes to David A

Last point: Last night on Jay Leno, Simon said he thought David Cook would be the winner. Tonight, he said each round went to David A and that tonight David A brought a "knock out."

It could be that song choice might have cost David Cook the title of American Idol tonight. As for me. I've changed my mind. David Cook fell off the stage.

It's David Archuleta for me.
