David Cook is the Next American Idol

It’s down to the final three contestants this season on American IdolDavid Archuleta, David Cook and Syesha Mercado. But who’s going to win America’s heart?

Syesha definitely has singing chops but that’s hardly enough for Idol viewers anymore at this stage of the game. Archu-D2 was the early frontrunner in the competition but Cook definitely has pulled ahead with his carefully chosen arrangements and rock star performances.

Can Cook take the cake? Most likely.

Last week, interestingly enough, Archu-D2’s “stage dad from hell” was prohibited from working (read: attending arranging sessions) with his son on the show. David sure has a lot more pressure on him this week without his dad’s guidance this week on how to perform songs and what vocal changes to make. May the best David win!

And if Cook’s rendition of Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby” hasn’t been playing on your iPod non-stop, something’s wrong with you! Listen here.

Tune into an all-new American Idol tonight @ 8PM ET/PT on FOX. Video links to the performances will be posted, as usual!

WHO DO YOU THINK is going to win American Idol this season?

I was actually hoping Syesha wouldn’t get kicked off. Only because if she stayed and Archuleta didn’t it’d be more obvious that Cook is going to take it. Archuleta has a soft, soothing voice.. but in my opinion if they vote for him, he’ll go so far, then he’ll die out. I don’t like the idea of him missing school for this, especially if he doesn’t win. He should finish school, do what he’s gotta do.. then give AI a try again. I might have felt different if through-out the season he showed America that he can do anything. He’s good with slow ballads, although his music could knock me out in a matter of seconds. There is never any change with him, I only saw one side of him. Most of the people that vote for him are young, and are hardly seeing passed his “good looks.” David Cook has it all man! Right from the start he was amazing, and he will always be amazing. I think he’s had his ups and downs in the competetion, but atleast he knows how to make it his own. His downs never changed my mind, he has blown me away every week. Win or lose, he’s my idol.

david cook is amazing and is an american idol already..
he makes his song choices interesting and changes them…
hes more experienced and he will defiantly sell more records because people wont want to buy songs they already heard before and they dont want to hear the same sound on there cd’s….
DC changes it up and is amazing!

After watching the perfomances tonight on the final AI. Nothing has changed! DAVID COOK all the way!. Archuleta is fake-phony, seems gay (which is fine for as long as he won’t hide it)

JUdges were all biased….THey did give Cook a chance…!!

I’m gonna vote for COOK until my finger hurts.
