Finally it’s the end of the season. And I know one thing for sure. The winner will be…David. Ha!

Let’s get ready to rrrummmmbllllllleeee! I love that guy! And what a funny cute way to start the show.

David Cook
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For (U2)

I thought this was a great performance. It didn’t stray that far from the original, but it definitely had the David Cook touch and it fit his voice well.

David Archuleta
Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me (Elton John)

He still has zero stage presence. But this might be the best he’s sung this season. Even though the band overpowered him a bit. A really good song choice.

Round 1 goes to: David Archuleta (as much as I hate to say it)

This season they get to choose a song from the top votegetters of the songwriter’s competition which makes MUCH more sense then anything they’ve ever done before.

David Cook
Dream Big (songwriter’s competition)

I liked the song and I liked how he performed it and I think it will be a great first single.

David Archuleta
In This Moment (songwriter’s competition)

Well, he sang it well, but it was a boring song and a boring performance. Bleh.

Round 2 goes to: David Cook (for a better song choice and a more memorable performance)

David Cook
The World I Know (Collective Soul)

I love this song and I loved this performance. It was understated and beautiful and perfect. It gave me chills. And though I usually agree with Simon, I don’t agree with much he said tonight, but I do think David Cook seems like a really nice guy.

David Archuleta
Imagine (John Lennon)

I didn’t like this the first time he did it at all. I thought he ruined the song for me. And I didn’t like it this time either. If you wanted a sincere beautiful performance, well Cook gave it. This was just not my cup of tea.

Round 3 goes to: David Cook (although Simon gave all the rounds to Archuleta)

I still honestly don’t know who will win. It could go either way. The judges seemed to be on the side of Archuleta. And in the end, it doesn’t matter who wins. David Cook will be successful - I have no doubt. David Archuleta will be a flash in the pan. So let what happens happen. You’ll be hearing David Cook’s name for a long, long time. He has the creativity and the skill to go far in the industry. I’ll be voting for him until I’m tired of it and I want him to win mostly because I don’t want Archuleta to.
