well, if some of u guys think that david.a’s singing is always the same, then wat abt david.c? he is continuously singing rock songs and he shout when he sings(even thought i feel david .c is good but dis is just an opinion if u guys think archuleta is singing the same type of song weekly)

anywayz, both of them r great and we can’t compare them bcoz david.c is a rocker and david.a sings ballad but i still prefer david.a

FOR ALL DAVID.A’S FANS PLS BUY HIS COMING ALBUM THAT IS GOING TO B RELEASE!!! LUV U DAVID.A!

Well now that the wondering is over … I am truly surprised that Cook won . We will see who actually does better. I think Cook will do fine, and I am sure they will both get a very nice contract. I was extremely pleased that they BOTH recieved a Ford SUV. I think David A. was very gracious in his loss. I can’t wait to buy his first release, and at his age he can only improve !

It’s so funny to read the Archie bashers rants. They love Cook because of….what? Screaming? Sorry rockers, time will prove once again that SINGING is what it’s all about, and in that department, well, need I go on? Archie is a singer, and will mature into an even better artist because he has what it takes to be a success: an ability to sing a song and woo the ear of a listener. Cook is a second rate rocker still living in the fast disappearing 90’s rock era. His future in the business is likely to be a lounge act in a Vegas casino.

I agree with posting from Marianne. If I hear anymore about David Archuletta, I will surely scream too. He can sing…at Disneyland, but he’ll never amount to David Cook, Chris Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood. I think the AI judges have falsely built up his singing capabilities due to his popularity with the b-boppers. B-boppers might bring AI and 19 more money with David A. than David C. If this is what they are doing, they are clearly wrong. David C. ROCKS!

I have to agree, David A. is very predictable and boring, he is definitely right for Disney - Maybe playing it safe, will make him the next American Idol, but David C will be much more successful down the road.

If I have to hear one more rant about how amazing Archuleta is I’m going to go mad. Sure the kid can sing but it’s so sugar coated and boring! And he’s not a performer, not like Cook. David A. hardly connects with what he sings and he’s NEVER done anything as original to a song or an arrangement as Cook. Cook at least takes risks. Archuleta as far as I’m concerned will be great as the next Pixar/Disney theme song boy. Cook on the other hand might end up doing something NEW rather than singing songs as if he were born in the ’50s.

But, in the end it doesn’t really matter who wins because any of the last 5 contestants can have a professional singing career now, if they want it. It’s now all a matter of who tries the hardest and who will sell.

By far, David Archuleta should win. He is true and genuine. Cook, although a great performer, comes across arrogant. He made a comment last night about the competition being over. He performed like it was over too. Archuleta is by far the beeter vocalist, and Idol is a singing competition.

Part of me doesn’t really want David C to win, because no good things have ever happened to past male winners, and I believe he is going to release an album anyway. But I still cannot resist voting for him last night…BUT i could hardly get through!! for 2 hrs after the lines were open! we’ll see who wins tonight… but I am more interested to see, whose albums will sell more! HA!

David A. does sing the same all the time. David Cook is a rocker and every song he sings is a rock song or he makes it into a rock song. Come on people. They are doing what they are best at. It is true. If you like rock you will vote for David C. if you like easy listening you will vote for David A. It is totally a preference thing. They are both great but people need to stop calling David A predictable. David C. is just as predictable with his rock voice. David A. wins tonight is my prediction and I hope I am right.
