David or David!!??

American Idol was awesome tonight. I really like both David's. They are each different enough from one another, that I don't care which one wins.
I personally like David Cook's style more (not his personality so much)...but David Archuletta is so dang lovable. I seriously thought he was going to stop breathing after his last song tonight. He gets so nervous and is just so humble. He looked like he was going to cry, pee his pants, kill over dead...he is soooooooo cute! I can't wait to see who wins.
What is your prediction?

This was the only episode I got to watch this season, and that was because my neighbor is obsessed and had a party (you had to bring a phone to come so you could vote).

I think David A. will win. The other David has a cool voice, but he just didn't have it.

Like it really matters though.. they both are going to have record deals!

I like David Cook too, but Archuletta was a clear winner tonight. If it was based on tonights performances only.. I would say he is the winner, hands down. He did an amazing job.

Tonight's episode is the only one I've even seen a part of this season. And what I did see of tonight's episode, I watched at the skating rink. Archeluta did an awesome job....they parts I could hear over screaming children anyway!!!!

I think David Archuleta is going to win. I think he's so cute....how could anyone not love him?

Mandy said...

I too agree that on last nights performance alone David A. should win, and besides he is a hometown boy, so cute. I thought he was going to pass out after each song as well.

I think David A. will win, too. Although, I love them both, so I don't care either way. I loved David C.'s U2 song!

I don't care who wins tonight either. I really like them both and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad Syesha left last week.

I am so glad you did this post on American Idol! I have been wanting to blog about my feelings, but now I'll just comment.

I love both David's, but Cook is more my style and I can definitely see myself buying his album and listening to it all the time. I already bought 'Billie Jean' and 'Hello' off of Itunes. (And, for the record, I said EXACTLY what Simon said about how Cook should've sung one of the those songs instead of the Collective Soul song BEFORE Simon said it. I should be a judge.)

I also love Archuleta. But I think his market would be smaller - maybe not, though. He could tour with Miley Cyrus! But last night Archuleta clearly won the show. I was so confused about why Cook chose such horrible songs!!!!! His second song sounded like a song my 1st grader would sing at an assembly or something! Jakob and I think maybe he wanted to lose it on purpose because he was going to get a better record deal through someone else or something. That's our conspiracy theory.

In conclusion, Archuleta should win, but I love listening to Cook. Denae did a post awhile back about what wives and husbands laugh at, and I commented that Jakob and I have different senses of humor and don't laugh at the same things. But one thing that makes us BOTH die laughing is Archuleta's reactions to the judges’ comments. They are hysterical! He is so humble and sincere, and it is just hilarious to us. (Sorry about this long comment!)

I love them both and they are both super talented. I think Archie will win for sure. I personally like Cook's style better though.

David A. is so adorable. I just want to squeeze him.....

I have been wanting to make a post like this too but since we will find out in 2 hours, I was stoked to find your post Jill! I love the pic you used, aren't they both so darling?? I think it will be good either way...

If David C. wins, I think he is more ready to make a record right now. That would give David A. time to find his niche, graduate high school, and choose whatever contract would work best for him.

I think if David A. wins it will be good for both because David A. is so much younger, needs the direction and help that a "package deal" record contract would give him. David C. is ready to make a record, could probably sell more records over time, and will obviously have a contract either way, but this way he can pick and choose the kind of deal that would be the best for him.

My actual prediction is Archie. I just think he really did better than ever last night and DC was the same as always (which is unbelievably awesome!) but I did respect him for doing a new song for his 3rd song instead of falling back on something he'd already done. However, it did backfire a bit. Too bad it wasn't more of a wow song. So cute that he cried.

Do you think DA will pass out if he wins? Sorry for the long post. I love AI though!
hugs,

I really hope David A. wins, but If David C. wins I would not be to heart broken

Heather Dawson said...

I love David Cook's voice!!!
I loved your description of David A. after singing -- so right on!

Lindsay said...

David C! Though I love little David Archuleta, I like David Cook's style a lot more. I love his humility too!

Hollyween said...

Ugh, David Cook is so greasy and gross. I'm so angry that he won, and angry when he does his half smile thingy, and when he punches his fist into his hand. AaaaHHH!

We voted for the first time ever on AI--actually it's the first season we've watched. They are both REALLY good, but I was sad David A. didn't win. I think they will both do well tho.
