Archuleta Vs Cook - Who Will Win?

[Jingthing]

This is for the Thai expat diaspora. I get American Idol live in Thailand, but most don't. But you still might have an opinion from youtube, etc.

I vote DAVID ARCHULETA! New Super Twink Pop Star

I think they are both very talented. If the teenybopper girls have their way it will be Archuleta but I feel that Cook is slightly more mature and would probably handle being the American Idol better.

[hanibal7]

i think cooky is more versatile but i wouldnt bet on the little boy winning with all the kiddie votes.david cook is the next brian adams in my mind.

[jumnien]

I vote for David Cook. I had no interest apparently, but recently watched ten repeats of American Idol in a row when I was sick. I laughed, I cried, I cursed Simon; I did everything you were supposed to do but vote! Just as well since I don't vote for president either. The little David, though quite talented, just seems to do the same thing with each song. The large rugged David seems more versatile. They both seem rather humble.

[hanibal7]

you summed it up perfect sunrise

[britmaveric]

Cook Any lad that sings a Mariah Carey Song as a rock song - gets my vote!!!

[jumnien]

When is the final episode on UBC. I can't wait. I'm popping the pop corn already! I wish I could get this excited about Obama...

[cathyy]

Another vote for Cook. I think he's more ready for stardom. An added thought is regarding the integrity of the voting; I myself believe the producers exert more control than they admit. If this is so, I believe they do not want a second underage Idol for the second season in a row.

[Jingthing]

Archy Boy is way CUTER than Cook. Case closed.

Same reason you better get used to saying President Obama.

This is the year of CUTE in America. Cuteness you can believe in!

No, heavens no! David Cook is far cuter! And he's so tall!!!

President McCain you mean!!

[jumnien]

The Presidential campaign would be far more interesting if they'd each get a chance with one popular song and then we'd just call in our vote. Let's see, Hillary's singing "Stand by your man", McCain's singing anything by Bush, and Obama's covering "We shall overcome"

[Jingthing]

No, heavens no! David Cook is far cuter! And he's so tall!!!

Strange.

Perhaps another poll is in order: who is cuter?

[jumnien]

They'd make a cute couple, no?

[Jingthing]

They'd make a cute couple, no?

Is that what you meant by more versatile?

[jumnien]

Come on Jingthing, when is the final episode on UBC. I need to plan my life!

I don't know from UBC. I watch on US tv piped in through slingbox. The finals are very soon.

[jumnien]

I think it's tomorrow! I hope it doesn't all get muddled with those Kentucky-Oregon returns. Oh, my god! That's it! I really think that a Obama-Archuleta ticket would be unbeatable!

[Jingthing]

OK, I just watched the final competition. Archy Boy nailed it! All the judges agreed, no contest. Its all over but the voting. Sorry Cook fans. Cook has as much chance to win this now as Hillary.

Simon to Archy: You came here tonight to WIN. What we have witnessed tonight is a KNOCKOUT.

Another prediction: Archuleta will be the first REAL POP SUPERSTAR to emerge from the Idol franchise. He is no Ruben Studdard, this is the real deal. He will also be a movie star.

Are you a member of the family Jt? The kid's not a bad singer, but his voice hasen't even broken yet.

Kelly Clarkson not a real popstar?

[Goldenbead]

Just watched the show and I think Archuleta will win although I wanted Cook to. I think David Cook is more mature and rugged with good looks and a great voice. The young boy is just sickly sweet to me and seems to sing only ballads.

No worries for either of them as they will both do well in the music industry no matter what the outcome.

I said SUPERSTAR. Not a family member. I am surprised he got this far in the competition, considering his age. He is even better than he first appeared. Definitely not a flash in the pan, he really can sing the phone book. I get the sickly sweet thing, but there is a big market for sugary stuff. A sweet ending indeed.

Cook is more talented and a proper musician.

Archeleta will win because he is young and cute.

They both are very talented. I don't feel Cook is all that unique though and I don't think he will have a major career, but good luck to him. Also, I don't see how anyone who watched the finals can think that Archy does not have a world class singing voice. He is young and cute on top of the voice. Not much of a dancer though.

Also, it was a competition. At the end of the day, Cook was not the best.

[Jingthing]

SPOILER ALERT!

I was wrong (again). Interesting that this TV poll predicted the actual results.

Just like your love for Osama - another loser predicted.

[Lite Beer]

Looks like the great American Public are not as stupid as I thought.

They got this one right. Well done.

[britmaveric]

Indeed, Cook was extremely talented - most creative of the lot. The young kid was rather cookie cutter like!!
