While Archuleta did have a fine final show, voting fans got it correct in that David Cook was the true star of the entire season. With more range, more versitility, a much more current appreciation of popular music, more maturity, more stage presence and the best performances week in and week out, David Cook deserved to win. Can't wait for him to start selling music...
Congratulations, DC, fate had a hand the way it all happened.
The distinction we who do not like this sort of show fail to make is we've nothing against the artists. They are indeed most talented. This said I will follow the many recommendations posted and avoid such pieces and what which star's baby looks like as it is not nice to spoil your good time. You have my apologies.
Hillary is divisive enough.
To all who come on this board only to complain that others are posting comments on such an absurd topic as entertainment...the rational response would be, " why are you here"? Look...I live, sleep, breathe politics and war till I am near appoplexy.....Doesn't everyone need a break? AI is great entertainment, and an opportunity to showcase talent. Personally, I find David Archuleta to be quite the gifted prodigy. He is absolutely amazing, especially considering his tender age and lack of sophistication. He held up beautifully throughout, and sang his heart out week after week. I will be first in line to buy his CD. I wish him all the success in the world. He has earned it. I hope he signs with a managment firm that will guide him carefully and promote him wisely. He has a gift to share.
SIGH....Now after this momentary break from the mad mad world, back to see what Hillary and McCain are doing...and to check the casualty count in Iraq today. What mother is about to get the worst news of her life??? There is no shortage of bad news. Tragically....
Bad music gives you diabetes, hype gives you cancer.
American Idol kills.
To the scaffold of public opinion we walk;
Long Live Barack!
