    Ok, so I just watched the Final Three Idol performances and seriously, is David A really that good? I mean c'mon, for just about every performance this season he's kind of sung the same song. Ballads. 
           Tonite he took a shot at what must be a pretty popular song by Chris Brown. I guess I'm outta the loop, but I didn't recognize it. Honestly I haven't recognized many of his songs. Now I'm pretty familar with music as a whole, (POP junk and RAP not so much) and if I don't recognize the songs, does the voting audience? Probably not. That makes me agree with Simon that this show has become a popularity contest rather than a singing contest. If you ask me (and you didn't) the best singer is already gone... Carly. 
        If you listen to our show you know I think DA has a giant head and ears that make Dumbo look like Brad Pitt. Yes, he has a nice voice, but is he an American Idol? Does he have the stuff to perform at the level of Chris Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood?  David Cook might have it if he gives up the gruff smoky sound and rolls rocky like Bice or Constantine... and Syesha? She definately can belt it out like Fantasia and Kelly Clarkson. But David A? Not likely. He's not even an Elliot Yamin or Bucky Covington. He's hardly a teenager and his voice hasn't even changed yet. Let's see him hold those long sorrowful high notes when he's 20.
       Personally, I'm pulling for Syesha because David Cook already has his future sewn up. Next year at this time, I guarantee you we'll be playing David Cook's music on MIX 94.9 and I bet David Archuletta will be headlining the Archuletta Family Band at your local VFW.
