Been there, heard that...wasn't impressed the first time. Maybe during the course of the show I should have tried to just listen to David A. sing and he might not have annoyed me as much. I didn't like the way he always looked like he was in pain while he was performing.
Originally Posted By danyoung >I was disgusted at how the judges seemed to be throwing David C. "under the bus."< I didn't think that was the case at all. In fact, they went out of their way to say nice things about him and to him. But it was just no question that David A. was blowing Cook out of the water. Arch wanted to perform his material, while Cook just wanted to stand there and sing. He sings great, but at this stage something more is needed. Arch had it.
Originally Posted By mele I'd like for Cook to win but it's more a matter of liking his style more than Arch's. I think Arch definitely performed better last night, picked better songs. Still, I am sure I won't be purchasing ANY of his music (unless he does a Christmas cd.) ;-)

Originally Posted By Dabob2 I prefer Cook, but have to give David A. props - he was definitely the better singer last night. At this point I think they both have large fan bases, so I think despite last night it's very much up for grabs.
Originally Posted By mater4 Hope David C takes the win but he will make it regardless. If David A has a controlling dad as the media portrays I can't help wondering what will happen to his new found wealth. He is not 18 yet and not in full control of his life and money.

Simon made a point of apologizing to David Cook tonight. He said that his comments of last night bordered on being "disrespectful."

Sure, it's all about product placement. But, MAN, this is a GREAT product! Donna's first album in 17 years, "Crayons," hit the shelves yesterday. The CD is WELL worth picking up! The Queen is back -- and better than ever! And it's way appropriate that Donna appeared on AI. It's a reminder that true talent wins out. Thirty years ago, there were HEAPS of artists scoring disco hits. And now... there's Donna -- still strong, sounding amazingly fresh, and showing that she's a singer whose reach is WAY bigger than disco.

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 LOL, mele! I'm sure you're right. -------------------- No-one has answered my question. Is there a significant consequential difference for coming in #1 vs. #2? Both Davids were awarded free gas-guzzlers tonight. The winner gets a guaranteed record contract, right? But the other David will certainly receive one, too. So does it really matter?
Originally Posted By Inspector 57 And is it just me, or... In their series of appearances prior to The Announcement, was it always Cook who made what appeared to be a sincere gesture of appreciating the other David? Perhaps David A was a young deer who was blinded by the lights. Perhaps he was afraid of his father beating the crap out of him if he took a mis-step. But in any event, David C came off as the much more... well... GRACIOUS contender who made a point of acknowledging the talent of his competitor.
