American Idol Season 7 Grand Finale
“Battle of the Davids”
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!” But then there’s David Cook — a pure rocker who once in a while shows his mellow side (but still rocks it), a fantastic performer, and for whom Randy Jackson gave his first standing ovation of the season.
David Cook already has a chart-topping single under his belt (his rendition of “Always Be My Baby” sends shivers up my spine) and a fanbase that includes both women and men (a very crucial demographic), but David Archuleta has the “lip biting pa-humble” effect that appeals to tweens, teens, even to mothers and grandmothers.
With Mercado now out, it’s gonna be a David vs. David battle in American Idol.
Which David is your pick?
