We are one week away from the finale, and although these three final contestants are far from my favorites of the season, it looks like it will be a very close finish and I say it could go either Cook or Archuleta's way next week. First though, we must deal with Syesha once and for all.
Our finalists kick it off tonight with a lamer than usual singalong, this time it's "Aint no Stopppin us Now"
Tonight's Ford commercial features a Fortune Teller machine that dispenses keys to brand new Fords. Sweet.
56 million people voted last night and I am still pretty sure the least amount of them voted for Syesha.
Fantasia Barrino, American Idol winner #3, takes the stage and puts on a manic performance and while Simon looks very concerned, everyone else seems to be having a good time. Wow she has a lot of energy.
David Archuleta simply cannot stop saying "Oh my gosh" (or is it garsh) when he visits his hometown of Murray City, Utah. He also does a lot of crying. His mustached mayor proudly proclaims May 9, 2008 to be David Archuleta Day. D Arch doesn't seem to have a whole lot of male fans.
In Syesha's hometown of Sarasota, Florida, a County Commissioner is the one who announces Syesha Mercado day. That is way more impressive than just a mayor. Syesha's mayor even does a handstand in honor of Syesha. Of course, Syesha is in tears by the end of her trip home as well.
I never heard this story before about how David Cook wa not even going to try out, he just went along to Omaha with his little brother who was auditioning and a producer encouraged him to give it a whirl. That is pretty incredible. Back home in Kansas City, David Cook seems to have the most fans of all. He even gets a member of Congress to proclaim David Cook day. He has got Syesha and Archuleta beat there! That is probably a good indication of who will win next week-who got the most high powered politician to come out in support of them and their honorary day. Cook also throws out the first pitch at a Royals game. Looks like he's got a decent throwing arm, which is obviously also an important feature of an Idol champion.
On to results an after a little bit of ado, David Archuleta and David Cook are in the finale next week, and Syesha heads home. She of course goes out smiling, and doesn't seem to be too shocked by this news. She will be ok. Look for her in toothpaste commercials in the not too distant future.
Next week the finale will no doubt be a doozy as always, and I will be hoping for the lesser of two evil Davids to prevail.
