Yea For The Davids

Hmm, who is Goliath in this deal? It's David vs. David on American Idol!

And I'm for David Cook.

David Archuleta sings well enough -- but he's very boring. David Cook may be boring, who knows, but he looks like there could conceivably be something interesting about him. Archuleta is a professional "wanna be" (and "gonna be"); he'll be very successful. Cook seems more like someone who is taking life in stride.

It was interesting seeing their visits back home. (And I'm glad Syesha got booted, even though I liked her quite a lot). Archuleta's visit back home was so boring I was actually looking down, reviewing some books I bought at an antique store the other day. Syesha's was so-so, but I figured she'd be leaving, so who cares? Cook's was the best -- I happened to be in the Kansas City area the day he was going to be there, but nowhere really near where he was, so it was nice to see what I was missing if it would've been possible to be there. The "Dream On" song playing in the background (to me) seemed to give his video presentation the edge. Maybe that's a psychological way of American Idol pushing him. Gives him an edgier feel.

Also it was cool seeing his brother, who originally was the Idol contestant, which I hadn't heard before.

So...who should win? David Cook.
