I’ll say it here and then again in a post:

Did anyone notice in the big boxing hype intro that they did a quick rundown of the big Idol faces in a “joining the greats of the past” and they skipped right over Taylor Hicks and REPLACED him with Chris Daughtry!?

THAT’s what I’m talking about!
Bo-yeah! Hicks is an 1st place Idol wanna-be a star.

Lindsey and I both LOVE David Cook, and love that he took a risk (yet again) to sing something new last night — it was terrific! But, despite our collective 30 votes, I fear little David will come out on top tonight.

Kudos to Cowell, by the way, on his praise of Cook’s character — I’m glad to know he’s not only an awesome singer/guitarist, but a nice guy as well.

And who knows, maybe he’ll get a better recording deal if he doesn’t win tonight.

@Rosie:

Thanks for finally putting your thoughts out here for everyone. They are always so good (except when they are lame and don’t agree with me ) and all the readers deserve to see them.

I think I’ll surprise a lot of people with what I have to say on record tonight if Archuleta wins.

Today I have to respond. I agree whole heartedly with you. Even though David A. sang his songs very well, I think it was still very mechanical. I think David C. had his heart out there last night and that is why he ended his last song with tears in his eyes. I voted for David Cook and will cheer him on tonight. Whether he wins or not, I think he’ll go much further in his singing career than little David.
