Eliminated: Syesha Mercado
My Pick: Syesha
Dial Idol's Pick: Syesha
So it is to be Little David vs. Big David. Will the Archie-Boredom overtake Rocker David? Or will the Cook stir-fry the Artichoke? (You'd think I have been waiting all season to use that one but I really just came up with it now!) Well, you know my thoughts. I think Archa-crappa is a producer's dream of joining the Disney Tweener Cash Cow demographic. But the kid has had enough exposure to fulfill this wish. His lack of life-experience, his overbearing father, his forgetfulness of lyrics, his utter boredom must eventually come to end this dream of being the idol! And yes, when this happens, I will dig up comments from the Hollywood Rounds of me stating that he won't win! (when many others were under the spell of the lung paralysis drama and his amazing "child prodigy" pipes). And course, if the opposite happens I'll take it like a man! But look at my record kids! I'm 5 for 6! And I still demand a recount in the Clay /Ruben debacle. Sure, I'm not a fan of either, but Clay owned that season! I still think it was a conspiracy by the Idol producers to make the most profit from both of them! Oh well, it's all in the past. I have Kelly, Carrie, Taylor, Jordin and Craptasia all under my PICK'EM belt! (here I go with the ego thing again!) So let's go for 6 of 7! I still have one more blog to back out of my current prediction, but I really don't think I'll be changing my mind!
Yes yes...It will come down to 3 crazy songs. They will do 1 song each from their arsenal (I've already guessed that Archie will do "Imagine" which will be tough to beat, but Cook will probably do "Always Be My Baby" which was ALSO awesome.) They will each sing the IDOL Song. The question remains to if they will each get their OWN song to sing from the songwriter's competition. There definitely were some "ROCK"-ish songs in the mix that could suit Cook. And then there's bland crap that would suit the Artichoke. The 3rd song? Well, I always forget what they do with that one. I think it changes every year. But it's always that IDOL SONG that defines the winner. The question also is, if they both have to sing the same song...can they mess with the arrangement? Or does it have to be how the writer arranged it? IRONICALLY, I just received word that Blake Lewis is on the news and really upset about last year's finale because the producers would not let him remix the "CRAPPY IDOL SONG" he had to sing. hmmmmm
This does not cause me fear though because Cook has proven he can sing a song straight too. And Archuleta has proven time and time again that he has a hard time learning words to new songs! Oh well, no sense debating about it anymore. I'll leave that to our avid commenters to give their thoughts as well!
Let's talk about tonight's unintentional comedy and disasterific moments!
Unintentional Comedy
(Dedicated to David Archuleta)
(Dedicated to David Archuleta)
- The video clip of his hometown tour: first quote from Davie "It is 6:15 AM in the Morning" ahhhhhh This is my favorite pet peeve to point out when people say it. And it just makes me so happy that ol' Archa-Dumbo made the mistake. DUDE, Have you ever heard of a 6:15 PM in the morning? Or a 6:15 AM in the Evening? dooooy!!!!
- Oh my GOSH! Ohhhh....GOSH!!!! GOSH!!!!! GOSH!!!! I mean, why didn't he just throw in an "Awwww Shucks!?" Sure I know that no one should violate the 2nd Commandment and all. But Oh my GOD!!!! (whoops!)
- David's Mayor - I totally forgot to mention this guy last night. How about that Mustache???? That takes some major skills! This guy is my hero. If I could grow a stache like that, it would totally take everyone's eyes off my prematurely bald head!
- Syesha's Mayor doing a handstand. Huhhhhh?
- whoops kids sorry....i just finished crying for a bit. Time to cry out "GOSH!!!!" again!
Total Disaster
(Props to my PS3 Rock Band Band! Word up!)
- I mentioned the following in a text tonight after the season 3 Idol winner took the stage: "I don't know if you're watching yet but god, Fantasia has to be the ugliest creature to disease Earth with her presence!" I mean what on earth was that??? And how about her rapping LL Cool J wanna-be guy on the balcony mouthing off profanity that got muted???
- The highlight though was the dumbfounded Judges during the performance, especially Simon's jaw-dropped expression!
- The choreographed disaster of a Top 3 Song "Ain't No Stopping us now!" If we wanted our top 3 finalists to dance like the Jackson 5, we would've watched American Idol in the 60's!
Mysteries Solved
- Many have been asking me what the AC stood for that David Cook kept sporting during his performances. I just guessed it was dedicated to his brother who is battling some kind of illness. (or was battling) We got confirmation tonight that David's brother's name is Andrew Cook (AC anyone???) I was still hoping for Albert Clifford (in honor of A.C. Slater - you guys know the show!)
- Revision: Well when I'm not totally right, I'll admit it! A couple commenters corrected me that David also has a brother named Adam and he is the one battling cancer. But with both initials being "AC" I could see David telling them both that it's a dual tribute! Thanks for the clarification!
- David Cook wasn't even going to audition for Idol. Crazy stuff! He was there to support ol' AC with his audition. I guess if Davy never auditioned, they producers would've fought a lot harder to keep Michael Johns in this competition. Remember him?
- All-in-all, I thought David Cook's return home was edited the best. The crying fans at both David's homes was a little ridiculous. I mean come on people! They're not that famous yet, if ever!! But showing Cook return to thank his music teacher? Priceless! (better than an edited loop of "GOSH's!!!" But hey, if I were the Idol producers/editors and I had a kid that said GOSH 50 times let alone one time!....well I'd sure use it!!)
Well there you have it America. My awesome Results show blog. No need in congratulating me on my 2 in a row. Go ahead and congratulate me for being one eliminated contestant away from being 6 for 7 in Idol Winner Picks!!! The reason for the long results show blog? Well, chances are that the blog after next Wednesday's show won't be incredibly long. There's usually not much to say after the winner is declared! (well unless it's Archuleta, then be prepared for my wrath!!) So, I just wanted you all to have one nice gem of mindless ranting before we get down to business next Tuesday! With that said, there's not much left to say. So I'll see you next week for the Already Expected ALL David Finale!

I remember that episode of "Saved By the Bell"! I'm pretty sure the "AC" on the guitar is for David's brother who has cancer. His name is Adam Cook, so he has the same initials.
That Fantasia performance was a bizarre spectacle. Fantasia has a lot of personality, but her singing voice is not pleasant on the ears.
I think you'll be right about David Cook winning. Archie's got a hardcore fanbase, but Cook has more widespread appeal.
I can't see Cook doing "Always Be My Baby" again. There was something magical about that moment, and if he were to perform it again he'd have a tough challenge in trying to recapture that magic. I think "Billie Jean" will be the one he reprises. I agree with your choice of "Imagine" for Archie.
Adam Cook is the brother that is sick with cancer, not Andrew.
Alright alright...I only need to be told once! lol I never studied the Cook family tree or anything. But I did forget that we saw ANOTHER Cook brother in the audience one time.
But you never know...the AC could've been a duel tribute to the guy that got him on the show and in honor of his sick brother.
Thanks for the clarification!
Ian - good call on "Billie Jean" I forgot about that one. Not sure if you recall though, when Bo Bice did >"In a Dream" with no instruments and (questioning whether Carrie had it all in the bag.)...that was a special moment, yet he did perform it on the finale again. Same with Fantasia (ugh i hate to even say her name!) when she did "Summertime." (I am NOT putting a link here! LOL) The illiterate rasping singer was asked to sing it yet again the following night on results night. Some argue (ahem...Michael Slezak ew.com) that this was the most SPECIAL PERFORMACE ever on the Idol stage. When we all know it was Kelly Clarkson's >"Stuff Like That There!" lol
I was not an Idol watcher during the "Craptashia" era, and I am thankful for that. My whole family stared at the screen in utter disbelief at how horrible she looked and sounded. The one moment of relief was when they flashed to Simon's face - priceless.
