last night was the first time I watched it.

I like david cook better personally, but best of luck to both.

I do think it was unfair how they supported David A more than David Cook last night (Tuesday). The final show is tonight (Wednesday). However, both are great singers. I personally think Cook would sell more records. Archuleta is too mature and sings Elton John and he's only 17! If he chose better music, it would be easier for his CDs to be sold later. All in all, I think Cook should win. Both will have a great future.

They did have Archuleta singled out from the beginning, it seems. I like his voice, and he's certainly got a cult of personality thing happening for him...but was he the best singer of the lot? No, I don't think so. I really am starting to wonder about this season and how much of it is really "viewer's choice". That little issue Paula had with referring to her already written cards made me start to wonder if the comments made to the contestants are prewritten based on rehearsal performances.

I watched every episode last year when my hometown girl won, but this year just seemed like a waste of time.

Regardless of what the voting outcome is tonight, they both have huge royalty checks coming to them for life. David Cook I know is going through hard times with his family member being ill, but, how many times can he roll his eyes. I was very focused on his demeanors last night and not only that he acted as if he's already been defeated, he was just really wasn't in to it! David Achuleta did out sang Cool last night. Again, regardless, they are now officially rich!

I'm so over AI and I don't even know who the winner will be. The fact that David A. (ok, he can sing and teenagers think he's cute) is still there really annoys me. That gosh-golly personality just erks me.

If David C. doesn't win, he will have an album which I will buy. His career will last much longer than David A. who I'm pretty sure will end up hanging out with Clay Aiken on Broadway in a couple of years when all of the teenagers who voted for him turn 18 and are now attracted to "real" men and not little boys..

Next season I'll watch the audition episodes but that will be it. I refuse to sit through another season of "oh my" "i can't believe it" David A. style cliches...

When Simon told him he won round 1, I wanted to puke at David A's reaction. Do his parents ever let this boy out of his house other then to compete on Star Search and AI?

I have said the whole freakin time that David A. is gonna win American Idol!!! hez great, cute and has a awesomne voice. so, i totaly agree with yooh!!
