1. It's very simple..I can sing as well as Mr.Cook....but Mr.Archuletta could..
easily sing rings around me.

David Archuletta is one of a kind.
Mr Cook is good but he's still a "Dime a dozen singer"

2. I think David Cook is one of a kind
and David Archuletta bores me to tears.

14. David A. reminds me of the way the young Sinatra was.
Self-effacing, a bit shy. He's got a huge future. I wonder if he can act/dance?

5. I slept through the show last night
Which was a bummer. Apparently it wasn't Cooks best night. But I think overall he is the best performer. The other guy has a nice voice but he's so predictable.

6. They both suck.
David A. is almost painful to watch. OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES, MAN! Except don't, because when you try, you look ridiculous. His voice is EEHH and he's boring.

David C. is moderately talented, but his voice isn't the least bit distinctive. And he seems like he's a huge asshole.

Overall, just a major yawn. I don't give a shit about either one of them.

9. a huge asshole
He doesn't seem the slightest bit of an asshole to me. Even Simon thinks he's a great guy.

10. To each their own
but I wouldn't use Simon as a gauge for who is or isn't an asshole. ;)

8. I like Archuleta.
I haven't watched much at all this year... but he was my favorite guy right away.

11. Cook has 6 albums out already - so Im going for Archie
he has the better voice by far - Cook has the experience to preform well on stage and he should after 6 albums - but to me an American Idol is not someone who has previously been published over and over.

13. Wait until next week and they will be everywere - just like Brookes
Edited on Wed May-21-08 06:23 PM by FreeState
(hers is now on iTunes - its not that good IMO and I liked her too).

Here are the names of the albums/artist:

Axium:
Matter of Time (2002)
Blindsided (2003)
Alive in Tulsa (2004)
The Story Thus Far (2004)

Midwest Kings:
Incoherent with Desire to Move On - EP (2006)

Solo:
Analog Heart (2006)

If you search you can listen to most of them online - but for sale will have to wait (they have to pull them to compete - AI rule)

20. Thank you for this list
I'll be looking for them and the new album he will likely have out next year.

I confess I was surprised Cook won, but pleasantly so! I was rooting for him for weeks. I think he rocks and it's nice to see a grown-up win.

:bounce: :crazy: :bounce: :crazy:

It started as a joke last night in http://www.jefftompkins.net/2008/05/american-idol-finale-spoiler.html">this post and from the number of hits I was getting, combined with the people who were emailing me and not posting in comments (I guess b/c they were scared to look like they might fall for it) I decided to continue it this afternoon. So far only 3 comments but several hundred hits and 18 emails on the latest post. This is like dealing with a cult.

21. Yeah, but what's gonna happen to Archie if his voice changes?
And given that a razor has never touched his face, you know his voice is gonna change sooner or later.

OK, so Cook hasn't gotten too close to a razor either, but it's for a different reason.

22. First time since Season 2 where I barely paid attention to it.
Although all I heard about was the David Archiletta guy, so I am surprised the other guy won.
