Does anyone think this show is fixed, as to who will win?

I have watched a few episodes of it this year, first time in like 3 years, and I think david Cook is very talented, but I think the Producers, and the judges like the 17 year old Chipmunk, so he may win, even though David C is so much more talented, plus he is from MO. Sure hope talent rules out over popularity this time around.

OH Gail come on.....David C. can sing but he's just another rocker with a Smart A$$ looking attitude about him. The other kid looks and sings like a young Perry Como....totally effortless and always pitch perfect. I like him. As for the "fixed" part I've always wondered about that as well.

I got to disagree with you. Every sond David A has sung he has made it into a slow and boring love song. The week he sang the Elvis song-yikes, it was so mundane and boring! He is young with no life skills, so it reflects that in the way he sings his songs, they are all the same.

David Cook has gotten the bad rap where he comes across as being smug or cocky, but I do not believe he is this way. He seems very supportive of all the other singers on the show, more so than David A, who looks like he wet his pants last night, not sure what that is about. He has a good voice, and in time he may be a good singer, but I think this should be about talent now, who would you buy a record from today? i know I would buy David Cooks music, and not a single thing from david A.

In the past though, actaully the singer who has not won, usually does better than the one crowned American Idol, so maybe it will benefit David C more if he does not win.

I think Simon was way out of line last night, a Knockout for David A, every news show I have listened to, says David Cook is gonna win, and although the chipmunk has singing capabilities, he is simply too young, and BORING!

I guess we will see.

The only reason David A is in the final two is because of all the teeny-boppers that vote for him thousands of times. I've met absolutely no one at college that likes Archuleta more than Cook, then again, none of those people actually vote, while the 11 year old girls that are infatuated with Archuleta vote constantly the entire voting period. I don't think it really matters who actually wins, though, Cook'll be more successful. Just look at Chris Daughtry from two seasons ago, he got third(or maybe fourth) and he's had more hits than anyone from that season.
 
You're probably right about the college kids liking David C..he's there age and sings more their type music. He's a good performer. David A. may be just a kid but in the long run he'll be a star. Maybe not in the next couple of years but wait and watch. Love songs are not out. I like to hear talent...a real trained voice...someone that doesn't yell and sing off pitch etc. David A. does this and he can sing with feeling. David C. does not sing the music I would buy either. Just not my thing. Course I wouldn't buy Bo Bice either nor Ruben Studdard and especially not Fantasia.....But regardless I think both are winners and have a geat future ahead of them and they can thank "American Idol".

Daughtry is a rocker and only folks who even remember him aer those that like that kind of music.

I really thought the old boy in the bar the other night that tried to fart the Star Spankled Banner was pretty good. Unfortunately he had an accident just before he finished the song and ruined his performance. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

I hope you are kidding, Daughtery has had mega hits since he released his album. He wrote severalof the songs on his albnum also, and his "Home" song is still played alot on the radio, as is his newest hit.

Fantasia, Rueben, they got good voices, but I'm not interested in their music, but rock n roll will always live on, and will definetely outlast anything that David A puts out. I read on the internet a few days ago that they both already have record deals with Sony, so we will see who sells more records, when the music is released. I can guarantee you that David A won't be writing any of his own songs, whereas David Cook will be, because he understands music, from performing in bars, etc over the years. I think David A will sell to the teeny boppers but his staying power will not be there, I imagine eventually he will end up on Broadway with alot of the other idols- :)

I have not watched that show since 2004. I hate those shows. I hate Deal Or No Deal, too. Call me Scrooge. Just the same thing over and over. The last time I watched Dancing With The Stars was when Emit Smith was on. I do like Last Comic Standing, though.
 
Gail....thousands have sung in bars....few make it to the big time. And the "rock" David C and "what's his name" sings is not the rock I was raised with "ages ago". lolol........Heck even Reba made broadway so that really ain't much of a feather in your hat. As you said..we'll see... Heck no more cd's than I buy I hope none of them depend on me..

George Michael??? Geez, how desperate are they? And that song he sang! Yuk

I don't watch the show but I loved George Michael in high school and college..... :heart: however that was before I had gotten GAYDAR>>>>>>>>>>>

My mom watches the show, she informs me of all that is happening ,she is cheering for David Cook..

Personally they should have quit with Sanjjia.... :P :lol: :lol2:
 
David Archuletta is the most over-rated singer since Michael Jackson.

His composure is horrendous. if American Idol was an aquarium, David Archuletta would be the dorkfish.
 
The only way we can handle American Idol is to pause it so we can skip the commercials. :roll:

I thought the girl finalists were the best. But the guys get all those teen girls calling in voting. :nod:
