Well this is it. It’s the finale of the big show. It’s the battle of David². Well more like David 1 1/2. HA!! On with the show!

So here the breakdown of the night. Because he basically owns everything Idol and I really wouldn’t want to piss him off, Clive Davis, the BMG Music mogul will choose the first song. Then the Top 2 Idol Kids get to select a song from the finalists of the Idol Songwriting competition. Yeah you know what that means… 2 inspirational “I believe I can fly if I dream if I keep faith alive if I don’t vomit first” songs. Then to close the competition, the Davids get to each select a song on their own. So call me crazy, but I see the apparent absence of a “Idol Single.” Where’s my “Moment Like This” or my “This is My Now”? Hmmm, could that be the reason Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber was lurking in the video footage?

David Cook
Clive Song: “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”
Looking fresh ‘do died in a lovely hue of red, he puts his Cook magic all over it. It’s good but not as mesmerizing as some of his earlier work.

Idol Songwriters: “Dream Big”
He brought out the lefty guitar for this one. He rocks it pretty hard. I feel like I could have heard that on the sound track for a Legally Blonde 3 movie.

Idol Choice: “The World I Know”
I have the give the rocker props for matching his red tie and guitar strap with his snazzy red cowboy boots. He does an amazing cover of the Collective Soul song. He really put everything he had in it and it showed.

David Archuletta
Clive Song: “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”
Thankfully for the little one, Clive picked and easy listening staple to help put us all asleep. I mean the kid can sing, but can we give him something contemporary (without incurring song royalties?) Oh good lord not the single spotlight. Oh no, not he’s going into a gospel bounce. Dear David, you… are… white. Love, IdolBlather.

Idol Songwriters: “In This Moment”
Surprise… he picks a ballad. But doesn’t he look just sweet in his tiny blazer with the anchor on it? The judges keep giving the rounds to the garden gnome. Personally I think every song he sings is starting to sound the same. Maybe it’s just because his voice tortures me so.

Idol Choice: “Imagine”
The little hobbit selects a song that not only did he do earlier this season, but also one of his staples that he’s sung on many a Utah morning show as a kid. He’s so emphatic with his “You might say I’m a Dream-ER” it’s so annoying. He even went a bit flat on his big ending but it’s still probably good enough to get him the Idol crown.

So according to our esteemed judges (and the producers that tell them to say it) Little Archie is the Idol. I for one, hope that all the viewers more than 6 months past puberty join together and vote for DC.

So who will it be Idol Fans? Who has earned America’s love? Tune in tomorrow for our Finale!!!

Peace Love & Record Deals,
