go DAVID ARCHULETA you are definitely the next american idol winner.
we love ballads that is why i am voting for you. so whoever loves rock then go and vote whoever you want. we don't care if you think that david c has talent for us he just sucks. copycat.
my vote will go to DAVID ARCHULETA the new american idol!!
how did David A's dad make his songs any different than the originals?
David A and his dad are the copy cats!
I hope Archuleta wins because at least he is original. Cook is okay but he seems like a repeat of Daughtry and other rockstars already out there.
Syesha is pretty good and has a lot of talent. I hope she's in 2nd in the finale with David A.
If by 'original' you mean 'terrible', then yes he is original...........................................................................................................opps sorry. I just fell asleep during Archie's song.
That's right Simon, predictable. Every single song sounds exactly the same.
THANKS FOR YOUR CONFIDENCE IN DAVID ARCHULETA WINNING OVER DAVID COOK AT LEAST I HAVE SOMEONE ON MY SIDE OF WHO I THINK SHOULD WIN. THERE REALLY IS TOO MANY ROCK SINGERS OUT THERE.
YOU'RE PRETTY COOL YOURSELF!!
ARCHULETA IS TOO YOUNG I BELIEVE FOR THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT AMERICAN IDOL REQUIRES.
COOK IS ORIGINAL, HE BRINGS HIS OWN TO THE SHOW.
HOWEVER, I BELIEVE COOK AND ARCHULETA WILL BE THE FINAL TWO.
I BELIEVE COOK WILL BE THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL. HE REALLY HAS IT GOING ON.
your wrong!
DAVID COOK SUCKS AND HIS ATTITUDE IS DISGUSTING!
ha.ha. I can't believe how crazy people are getting?
David Cook's attitude reminds me of someone who is professional and who is mature; David A's 'kiss me daddy' attitude is the one that's disgusting.
"Oh Simon, I can't believe you like me! I'm so surprised. Golly gee. life is swell!"
DAVID ARCHULETA all the way. we love you. you are the best in this competition.
Archie sounds like kermit.
Send that 17 year old teenager home, please!
And all the zoo writers, you should be the first to enter the gate and start sweeking.
I will send you home...
L O L
someone is going to kick you up your behind.....why are you so jealous of this 17 year old teenager, he is so very talented and will get far in life whether he wins american idol or not.......is more than i can say for your negative input.
about your comment you made about the first one to start sweeking.........yeah!! i'll be there to greet your funky self.
Look out before someone kick yours.....
I am not jealous of him... it's just the fact that he is not the most talented of the remaining top 3.....
Go back to school and learn some grammar, after completion come back we'll talk...
Again, Vote David A off and keep the two shining stars Cook and Mercado...
They are the two to beat in next week's finale.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION BUDDY I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY GRAMMER BECAUSE MESSED UP ABOUT YOU NOT SAYING SOMETHING NICE.
YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL THEN WE CAN HAVE A NORMAL DESCENT CONVERSATION, WITHOUT ALL OF THIS CRITIZING.
AGAIN VOTE OFF DAVID COOK THE COPY CAT AND THE SYESHA WANNA BE DIVA.
THE 2 LOSERS OF ALL TIME.
DAVID ARCHULETA HAS ALOT MORE FAN BASE THAN THE OTHER 2 WILL HAVE IN THEIR WHOLE MUSIC CAREERS.
Sounds like you are VERY OPTIMISTIC about this season's winner..... good you already know who will win....... are you a fortune teller by chance?
I am a graduate and have good grammatical skills...
Sorry, read back at your earlier replies and see who need to go back to school...
Enough of this and to hell who wins. it's just my opinion, and I can be wrong.. ha ha
So..two Americans fight on grammar...
Besides, if David Archuleta wins, this will be the MOST BORING season ever. Haha imagine if Syesha wins and both Davids are like WTF.
Anyway I hope David Cook wins, because you can tell that he works much harder than David Archuleta, and even if he does get pitchy, his performances are tons better. Syesha tries too hard. I don't like her attitude at all.
David cook is way too cocky to win. He has had this attitude that he had this in the bag for way too long. He has only ever shown emotion once, whereas Archuleta and Syesha both have multiple times. Let cook win because then he will be bound to do what AI wants him too and Archuleta can go off and make a killer album with whomever he chooses.
Vote for David Cook all the way..... the AI season 7.
David Cook Rocks, and please vote for Syesha for second place.
Send home David A this week.
THEY SHOULD SEND YOU BACK TO THE ZOO, LEAVE DAVID ARCHULETA ALONE. DAIVID COOK IS A COPY CAT AND SYESHA IS A WANNA BE DIVA THAT WANTS SYMPATHY BECAUSE SHE CRYED LAST WEEK, SORRY TO BUST YOUR BUBBLE SHE WILL BE GONE THIS WEEK. SO WHAT IF DAVID DON'T WIN, HE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL WITH HIS LIFE.
How is David Cook a copycat? I'm sick of that comment people say about him because you know it's a fib. He is a good researcher, and for God's sake ARCHULETA did covers done by other people too. So basically EVERYONE is a copycat on American Idol. Do you expect Cook to compose a song in one week? THat's what makes your kind of Archie fans annoying...
They should send you to the zoo you dunderhead.
i totally agree! 100%!!!!
Cook has gotten so boring and we already have enough rockers that sound exactly like him out there! SEND HIM HOME!
David Archuleta should win American Idol 2008 and second place for Syesha Mercado. They both got the natural talent of music. I can't just wait to see this happening.
David Cook will win. Mark my words. Great voice. Very confident. Great stage presence. Outstanding performer. Cook rocks.
He is TOO confident, there is his problem. He can sing like crazy, granted he sounds just like every other person out there, but yes he can sing. Cook wont be happy winning this title because he wont be able to make whatever album he wants to. He will be stuck for a few years until his time is up. Archuleta is an awesome singer for only being 17. He is shy, which is something that he will have to overcome, but if he can do that he will become great.
I sure hope so. I am voting for him. Come on David Cook fans....VOTE VOTE VOTE!
omfg vote for the worst is derranged. they have DAVID ARCHULETA as the worst instead of mebe..........SYESHA!?!?!?!?!? well at least he gets more votes. w/e
ok Jason needed to go home! I cant believe Brooke went home before Jason did. He did the same stuff over and over again, unlike Brooke, and David Cook who bring originality and charisma to the stage. America: Please dont make a mistake, vote for David Cook, I mean seriously Archileta is bland, I mean he has a great voice, but he isnt going to have a hit single like Jordin Sparks so, quit focusing on his looks and focus on his voice and any future he might have being a singer.
don't make so much fuss about david a's age. of course david c is way much older and more experienced but ai chose the age limit from 16 to 29 so that means they believe that young people have talent like the older ones. he won't be on the top 3 if he has no talent at all. this is not a talent show it is a singing competition. if you feel david c has vocals then lets just wait who's going to win the ai. i go for david a. and that is my opinion.
If people are making a fuss about his age and are mad because a 17 year old is spanking david cook in this competition, they are really going to be pissed when they hear that AI is lowering the age limit to 14 next year, rather than 16 like it is now. They have admitted that the younder ones are where the market is and that they are going to have to lower that age limit. Jordin Sparks did great things and she was only 17, she is rooting for David Archuleta and believes he is great. David A will go just as far as she did, and further.
DAVID ARCHULETA is destined to be the Greatest & Most Popular American Idol of All Time.
I agree that David Archuleta has the best vocal. His songs touch me like no others ever did and that is what singers should be doing .... making listeners happy and enjoying it.
Lots of people just dont know what music!!! is all about. They just look at the book without reading its covers. American idol is all about best vocal performance........not how they all look or how ugly they are....its all about connecting with their kind of music.Tobe an american idol its just.......music......music music.
DAVID ARCHULETA!!!!!!! Star of he show.....good humble boy with a very good heart. Concentrating and connecting with his kind of music. If you BELIEVEyou will win....love your sound of music especially ANGELS. DAVID A. you are the angel. GOD BLESS YOU !
Syesha needs to get out of the competion totally useless and not a singer she should be in the braying competion and is definitely not an AMERICAN IDOL>
say goodbye to Syesha and have an American Idol Singing Competion not a popularity contest.
hey lisa sinft.....if u think Syesha NOT A SINGER, so why the judges and the american people vote for her ? and one more thing hon, do u think u can sing much better then her ???????? ck...ck
Lmao.
get rid of Syesha
david cook is the best. he has taken songs arraneged by other artist but he has done them his own way. there is no way to david cook sang the songs exactly like someone else arranged them. he did say he found some arrangements online. its still his voice and rendition. i love the way he sings and his voice. i dont think either of the other two even compare. he will have a recored deal even if he doesnt get american idol. i will deffinately have his first album. i think he has songs he has written ready to be put on an album. he is just so good.
Davie boy was pretty good last night, but really, it's as if the judges were preprogrammed to drool over him regardless of what he did. They didn't cream over Kelly Clarkson the way they did with David, and no offense, but he eats her dust.
"Idol" has its mitts on the recording contracts of the winners. So is this about talent, or that David is more commercial and has a longer shelf life? We're just askin'.....
David Archuleta is the perfect American Idol. He is a winner that will rise to the top. He most definitely has the talent. He is cute and appeals to young girls. (I could not help but think of Donny Osmond's "Puppy Love" as he sang "Love Me Tender" with such innocence.) Most importantly, he is very pliable: perfect for 19 Entertainment. Archuleta does need to work on using the stage, but he takes instruction very easily and will become a master performer.
The votes will continue to pour in for David Archuleta as he is a favorite not only for young girls willing to spend hours dialing in, but for those who appreciate a quality singer.
David Archuleta looks like the ideal winner — a young boy with a big voice, who has a video clip that shows how he sang for Season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson, and who sang “America,” a performance that practically shouts, “Vote for ME, America!”
Not that this will surprise anyone, but David Archuleta has to be considered the front-runner after all three judges praised his vocal prowess and he blew away the competition with his renditions of "Love Me Tender" and "Stand By Me" during Rock & Roll Hall of Fame week.
David Archuleta, the 17-year-old on the show, has the ability and talent to become American Idol's 2008 winner. This gentle, young man, it is said, has overcome partial vocal paralysis without resorting to risky surgery. Challenges seem to be right up his alley. And he isn't proudly trying to remind us all of it, either; he just graciously takes his "rightful" place on stage and gives us his all.
He presents himself very well in front of a crowd and why wouldn't he? He is no stranger to the stage and ironically seems to have begun his performance career at only 10 years old in Utah singing a Dolly Parton song called, "I Will Always Love You."
With all the confidence of a seasoned singer, this 17-year-old stares straight into the camera and hugs you with those innocent eyes. His fans feel it and are lulled into near silence when he begins to sing, only breaking out into the "I Love You David" chorus when there is an opening for them to be heard.
GO DAVID ARCHULETHA............
TO ALL OF YOU PEOPLE THAT PUT DAVID ARCHULETA DOWN TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME.
IF HE IS SO BORING........WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE FOR HIME TO NOT TO BE BORING PERHAPS STRIP?????? MAYBE THEN HE'LL SURPRISE YOU ALL. HE IS A SOULFUL SINGER AND HE TRYS HIS BEST TO ENTERTAIN UN FRONT OF MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO WATCH HIM. HE DOES COME UP WITH HIS OWN ARRANGEMENTS......UNLIKE DAVID COOK THAT IS A COPYCAT.
THE GUY IS ONLY 17 THE YOUNGEST EVER TO STAY ON FOR SO LONG.......BESIDES JORDAN SPARKS THAT WON LAST YEAR. IF THEY DIDN'T THINK HE WASN'T GOOD THAN HE WOULD HAVE VOTED OFF A LONG TIME AGO.
1. All caps very annoying.
2. Sentence structure horrible.
3. Fairly certain if a 17 year old little boy stripped on live television there would be a dew people sued and fired… funny! but no.
4. You are confused, it is David Cook that comes up with his own arrangements, that's kinda why the judges and TV personalities keep praising him on it. You need to pay attention, you not getting enough sleep at night?
5. I think you will find that most people (anyone with an IQ), will agree that young David A. can sing up a storm with that voice of his. He is simply not dynamic. Now you might defend that by saying he sings balads… fair enough, he is also not charasmatic yet nor does he have coordination or 'sex appeal' to pull off the deep emotive feel when he performs. He will, he just needs to grow.
You are most likely young yourself (just an assumption), but it's actually not even a fair comparison when you take someone as young as D.A. and put him against David C. and it has nothing to do with singing. A 20 year old is more comfortable with themselves and their sexualtiy and are able to express themselves better. Sorry. Just the way it is.
DA is younger and has less of a stage presence...what a shock. The fact that this is even a discussion validates DA. He is going toe-to-toe with a much older and more seasoned performer and causing people on these boards to resort to name-calling and ridiculous criticisms to try to knock him down.
DC is an outstanding performer but has not raised the level of his performances as the competition has gone on like DA and Syesha. Syesha has gotten better and better...hotter and hotter...as the show has moved on.
DA is not boring just incredibly consistent. He knows where his sweet spot is and adapts every song to meet his strengths...he doesn't have to stretch to make every type of music work for him.
Amen!! Thank you!!!
i totally agree with you!
That girl is so confused, maybe because she's just a kid considering the way she constructed her sentences.
I completely agree with your critique. I had to read and reread the above comment to try and comprehend her thoughts due to the terrible sentence structure.
The stripping comment was completely immature and irrelevant.
David A. just doesn't have the poise, charisma, and the confidence that David C. has. David A. needs to come back in like 5 years when he knows who he is and can portray himself in his music. I think at that time he will appeal to a larger market of fans. His age and adolescent fan base will be a kiss a death. We will be watching him on one of those where are they now specials in like 5 years. His fan base will grow up and he will be another new kid on the block.
Touche! Nicely put. One of the very few responses here that I can read and not think someone is going to come through the screen and get me for my opinion. That is a joke of course but I think you get what I'm saying.
