I can't stop loving david A. I can hardly hear david cook's lyrics. David A reminds me of robin thickie his voice is very warm and he looks like a diamond. My 100% vote goes to david A.

Do you vote for the night or the season? After watching 14 weeks, there is no doubt in my mind Cook IS the American Idol.

I live in Park CIty, UT. You have no idea the fuss in this state over Archuleta. There is a a ton of that type of talent here. After all, High School Musical 1, 2 & now 3 are filmed in Salt Lake. That's where he belongs. And believe me Nigel will be coming to Salt Lake next year looking for it.

You know...my opinion is based on my personal likes in music...and I'll have to tell you that Archie's song required much more vocal skill than Cook's U2 cover. Archie's song may have been slow...a ballad...whatever, but it required all tones and keys (low/high), vibrato...and anything else a true singer has to offer. You can say Archie is no Elton, but Cook is no Bono...so what point does that make.

I'm a 39 year old and find Archie's vocal talent and prowess unmatched in this year's competition...call him boring...call him safe...but you can't call him Daughtry...which is how another contestant (Cook) made his stance most of the season. Sorry...but even you Cook fans keep referring back to the likeness. I wonder if you would be making the comparison if Daughtry WASN'T successful...hmmm (even though the comparision would still be justified).

yeah david cook is a good singer but david A is my IDOL. He makes my ear warm. i love david A there's no way i'll buy david cook's album.

Okay I'm a 25 year old woman, I'm long past my tween and teen hormonal days, and have yet to approach the gastly menopausal years but honestly, to be perfectly fair.........the two boys have earned the right to be the last two (2) contestants. I have been clocking this show since the very first auditions. However when you take into account just what an American Idol is in terms of originality, versatality, consistancy and performance, that Idol is going to CATER to his audience, the answer is pretty obvious who will be the ONE out of the two (2) to deliver. A very simple question answers the debate as to who should bring home the title: Can you see Americans/Canadians spending between $100-$800 to see a rocker perform, cater, engage, identify, and give the audience every taste there is to completely satisfy their palate, and infuse their soul with his originality, artistry, and electric enthusiasm? Or can you see Americans/Canadian's spending the same amount to see a balladeer sing himself to tears? In my opinion to go to a David A concert would be "buyer beware" and tune your ears to the 'ballads' only frequency, and see how long you'll stay there. I bet you wont come out of there saying "That was the best concert ever!" Unfortunately for the poor dear, Archie does not have the raw energy that Cookster has, and I can see that a 2 hour concert with Archie would jack up the sales of Kleenex and keep them employed. The answer is obvious who should claim the title of American Idol. The Cookster is a refined artist that has put forth more effort, more determination, stretched the boundaries, took the risks, he has jumped two feet in and hasn't looked back. I think America should jump in with him. David Cook coupled with his incredible talent and striking good looks can give an 80 year old woman enough energy and excitement to tap her big toe to his rythyms, and dream of being 20 again, and have little 12 year olds saying "he's so dreamy" he has that effect! So little Archie should look at this as a learning experience, and learn to refine himself as well. Don't get me wrong....Archie has given me goose-bumps, and I admit freely that he has a beautiful voice and certianly sang himself a heavenly broad that has brought him this far....which is NOT easy. But if you're in that mellow low-key mood and all you want to listen to is ballads...then by all means he's the one to listen to. Unfortunately he has yet to get a handle on up-beat songs. All the best to the both of them. I also want to say that in my opinion.....Michael Johns should be up there in place of Archie....because Michael was fantastic he brought it strong EVERY TIME.........and Michael against David....THAT would have been a battle! But my Canadian (prohibited) vote is 100% for David Cook!!!

I think David Cook should win....he comes and sings a different variety of songs and genres every week....yea he makes them rock but their still so very different...and David A. songs all sound the same...he's a great singer....just not a great performer...to be honest he has put me to sleep a couple times.....and he is still so young.

David Cook is incredible. The best contestant to date. He will make it whether he wins or not. If you judge the whole season....overall Cook is the winner. Not to mention he is sexy as hell!!!!

When you look away when you listen, David Cook's voice you want to keep listening and hear more and more. David A has a wonderful voice but looking away when he sings doesn't do anything for me; seems the same. Can't wait for David Cook's first CD. Is it true he started one and it did not progress because he was a contestant on American Idol? Anyone know?---maybe that was a rumor; makes me want to buy it when it comes out for sure even more now!
I am not a rocker grandma but David Cook's voice is
contagious to listen to and gets me moving young again.

I thought American Idol was supposed to be for the raw talent. Not for someone being raised by pushy parents that pounds his son David to be a performer,
being forced to take lessons. David A seems to be a nice kid with an ok voice-- although every song sounds the same, with the same expressions over and over. He's a young kid with lots of training-- and
he is so staged. How can this be the American Idol?? He sounds the same as when he performed on Star Search.

I don't know about Randy and esp. Simon tonight (forget Paula, she should wear a Tshirt that says "Whatever Randy said"). Randy and Simon are really off tonight bcos I think Cook is THE David that should win. I think Cook is THE IDOL. If I was down to my last few dollars and could only buy a concert ticket for either Cook or Archie, I'd definitely spend it on Cook. Archie hits his notes precisely but that's all that is going for him. Kinda like Josh Groban (Grobin???). Archie lacks showmanship and dynamics as well as stage presence. All he does is stand there and swings his arms back and forth and moves his head up and down...He's still young. Cook on the other hand is what a rock star is and should be. He's got attitude and kudos to him for saying his opinion over Simon. I think Simon was dumbfounded by it. Cook is not only a great ORIGINAL performer but he's smart. I'm looking forward to his first album!!!

We're David Cook fans at this house. He's got a great voice and I hope he goes far. There is something about his performances that is truly special. All in all I thought this was a readlly good season, especially since I previously had no plans on watching a program that I had basically given up on. Go Cook!

I love David Cook. He doesn't sing the same damn song every week. David A. can not sing an up tempo song to save his young life. Plus David A. has to be one of the ugliest kids I have ever seen. I don't know what all the fuss is about. I don't know what the girls see in him. I admit that he has an awesome voice but I wouldn't buy his albums and waste my money when I know every song will sound the same.

Yes, not all David A fans are teeny boppers, but most are and that's just a simple fact. I'm 49 years young, still rocking, although I love all types of music. Both David's deserve the top 2 spots without a doubt. The one that the majority of people will listen to more than a couple weeks is DAVID COOK. They both have careers. I feel David A is too nasal. He's a nice young mormon boy. David C is a nice young man, very mature in his singing style.

The judges are riduculous. They make it seem like the whole show is fixed. Come on, everyone here knows David Cook has so much more talent than DA. Hands down no contest. David Cook is so much more exciting to watch and listen to than DA.

I'm a Grandma and I must say, this has been a great Idol season. Both Davids are awesome but I do think little David did the best tonight. The bottom line is....they are both really sweet boys and I'll feel sad for the one who places 2nd. I think American Idol should make it a draw !!! NOW THAT would really be a surprise for everyone.
Good luck to both Davids

Look, entertainment is entertainment. American Idol is seeking talent from amongst the masses in America and like it or not, we have before us two very talented individuals. The one with the most votes wins but they are both winners in our book. We look forward to the finale along with the other 50 million people. Good luck David's!

Both were good but, as the Randy said, David A. showed up and was "in it to win it!"

David Cook was predictably great tonight...BUT David Archuleta was smokin hot. What a final!!! Judging on performance and not predisposition, Archuleta should win it all tomorrow...Even the judges (including Simon) had to admit that their fav - Cook - didn't measure up tonight....but we all know that somehow the best talent on Idol usually comes in second....It will be interesting to see how America votes. The medal for pure talent HAS to go to Archuleta.....He won it...all three rounds!

David A. is a good singer, but David Cook is the total package - even if he doesn't win because of the stupid ass teeny bopper voters, who are pathetically ignorant, he will still have a WAY BETTER CAREER than D.A. and his overbearing dada.

ok david cooks first performance was amazing luv you david <333333
