WHICH DAVID ARE YOU VOTING FOR?????

The paparazzi are already on his trail and he hasn’t even won American Idol. Yet!

Idol finalist David Cook and a few friends grab slices of pizza at the Beverly Center Mall’s Sbarro pizzeria in Beverly Hills on Thursday.

During next week’s season finale, Cook will sing first since David Archuleta won a coin flip and chose to sing second.

“I’ve always looked up to Cook and admired all the work he’s done with his talent,” Archuleta says. “To be here standing next to him is just unbelievable.”

Cook only had nice things to say back: “I consider it a huge honor to share the stage with the kid. He’s the real deal. All the buzz coming in, he deserves.”

Fantasia performs her new single “Bore Me” during Wednesday’s results show of American Idol.

The American Idol Season 3 winner shocked viewers with her bright red hair and a black bejeweled jumpsuit. The best reaction came from Simon Cowell, who sat at the judges table looking aghast and his mouth agape. Like, did that really happen?

Watch the video of Fantasia’s performance below!

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Fantasia’s new look???

BYEBYE, SYESHA! WHO ARE YOU VOTING FOR?????

It’s down to the final three contestants this season on American Idol — David 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!
