David Cook won the American Idol !

I meant to write something about the judges take of both Davids performances earlier this week but was unable to do so. Amfufu.com experienced some technical difficulties the previous days because of the recent webhosting changes. My webhost transferred all of its existing clients to a different server and there were some DNS propagation issues.

Back to the topic. I felt really bad how David performed that night. I must agree with the judges because David Cook didn’t perform quite well on that 3-song finale night. Compared with David Archuleta, David Cook’s performance was a little disappointing. I thought it’s just me but a lot of people in the internet have the same perception.

I love both Davids. They are really great singers. I just love Cook’s style more and I was hoping he would win. And he did ! I have overstated in my previous blog that David Archuleta would win because of his huge fan base. I was wrong. The 12 million vote margin says it all.

Here’s a good analysis by Lynn Elber how David Cook won the American Idol.

Next American Idol is David Cook?

A lot have been said on how good Cook’s performances are, how ‘original’ (as what the judges say) his songs are and how he could be the next American Idol. Question is…will he be the next idol?

I was not really an American Idol fan…well not until this season, Ramiel Malubay, a Filipina made it to the top 24 list..even to the final 12! After she was voted out, I felt there was no use watching it. The show was only worth watching for me because I was following a “kababayan’s” dream come true. Then I stumbled upon one of David Cook’s video in ‘You tube’ performing a Mariah Carey song (Always Be My Baby) which sparked my interest in watching the show again. This time, following Cook’s performance.

I’m betting on Cook although the young David may get more votes considering that he has a huge number of fans (browse the net! teenage peeps especially the girls definitely votes for him!).

Here’s how I see the two Davids:

D.A. has a very pleasant voice, good-looking and seems to be a very nice lad but I feel that all throughout the season he has sang with the same tone of voice and no variation at all. There were times when I find his performances a bit of a bore. Most of his songs were slow and sad. One time he performed a lively song but his tone didn’t change at all.

D.C. on the other hand has a good and powerful voice. The guy is versatile and can sing different song genres as shown on his performances with Mariah Carey’s and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s song. Not to mention that he arranges the songs he performs. He’s equally good-looking compared to Archuleta but definitely has more edge when it comes to stage performance.

Well, it’s time to vote for the next American Idol!
