Well, not really.
Apart from the weird performance by Season 4 winner Fantasia Barrino which left Simon Cowell flabbergasted, the Idol results show tonight didn’t hold any other surprise. Top Three finalists David Archuleta, David Cook, and Syesha Mercado each traversed a long road to Idol-dom, but it ended for one of them: the sole diva Syesha.
So no surprises there. Even SM looked expectant as Ryan announced who will be pitted against each other next week.
There’s nothing else to say. Very predictable. Just like Randy’s comments last night.
Given the two Davids, I pick the taller one to win. It’s not that I don’t like Archuleta, Cook is just more talented no matter what anyone says. The smaller D is no pop-material to me which is what American Idol winners are. His voice range is limited and he is stuck in the slow, mellow ballads that he always croons.
On the other hand, David Cook has proven to be an exciting performer. Though his voice may also not be as flexible just like Archu’s, he can copy compose arrangements that match his range. He is more contemporary than his namesake, and that makes him the better Idol than Plantchuleta.
There goes it. It looks like it’s going to be a boring finale. But if the Cookie cooks something new and something clever, then it might be worth watching.
In the meantime, here is Syesha singing “If I Ain’t Got You” before she joined American Idol’s Seventh Season.

predictable result indeed too bad for sm, didn’t like small david since the start of the competition he looks like an autistic child to me while he was performing. I didn’t watch the show much lately, yesterday i just watched big david rendition of i don’t wanna miss a thing.

though, i was expecting syesha to be booted out, i was still hoping that it would be the small david who’s going home today.. to bad, syesha is… gush, she’s just a lot better performer thant the small david. small david is such a boring performer.. and i don’t like the way the judges hype him! i wnoder what they see in him; he actually doesn’t have any star appeal.
the finals would have been exciting had it been syesha vs david cook…. now with the two davids fighting for the top plum; its pretty obvious that my david cook will win it all the waay!

syesha’s been a very good performer til last week. although, she’s been with the bottom group for 6 times, she still proved that she can do it all the way. too bad, the two davids are more famous in the eyes of the audience.
