1. Since the night Cook sang “Billie Jean", he just been marking time until tomorrow night to win AI's title.
2. With his vocal range, the variety of songs he is comfortable with singing and the arrangements he has chosen, has shown he has the tools to become a star. He’s got the voice, the look, the charisma and maturity. He's more likable and flexible. He can play an instrument and connects with the audience. There's nothing Archuleta can do that Cook can't do better.
3.Listening to Cook each week on Idol is like turning on the radio. He's in different stage from Archuleta who sings the same big ballads over and over again. Yes, Archuleta can carry a tune, but he just doesn’t have the tonal quality of David Cook.
4. At 25, Cook is old enough to understand he’s making a deal with the devil ( in the record world). While Archuleta is 17 - the same age as Jordin Sparks when she won last year - although he carries himself as if he’s years younger. Archuleta also appears as a frightened boy overwhelmed by the demands of an overbearing stage father and in way over his head.
5. I liked Cook a hell of a lot more than Archuleta. If Cook comes out a 2nd, still he will have a longer and more lucrative music career than Archuleta. wink wink
