American Idol Finale - (SPOILER WARNING) OK, is it me or is DC 1000% better than DA? DA is a good singer, but how can a record company market his material? DC (to me) is the clear winner. What do u guys think?

That's what I have said all along. DA is not marketable at all. DC is.
But I think little David will win. | |

He may be not as marketable as DC, but he is more unique and his charm is irresistible. DC looks like many of the singers you see these days, and I think DA presents the songs better. | |

I don't find him unique at all.
Go to any theme park and there you will find a bunch of young guys just like him. There is no doubt he can sing, but he's kinda like this little robot, plug him in a watch him go through the motions. I just think he's lacking soul and a real personality. Maybe it's because he's so young. And he talks exactly like Napoleon Dynamite. | |

DA is too much like a "choir boy". I think people are attracted to his innocence. I think the guy can sing, but his is definitely NOT a pop star. We have voted enough "losers" to win that show (Ruben, Fantasia, and the king of them all...Taylor Hicks). We don't need another "loser" to win. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I like David Cook, but David Archuleta clearly outsung DC tonight, and with his built in teeny bop fan base, he is sure to win the competition tomorrow night. Having said that, I think that DC is a far more marketable artist at this point than DA. BTW, after DC performed during Mariah Carey week, his demo album which he recorded two years prior to being on AI was outselling Mariah Carey's new album on Amazon, so the producers asked Amazon to stop selling his album until after the AI finale. | |

Wait, I thought that was Jason. | |

DC is great and I'll be happy if he wins (DA too), but even though he's unique for this show, he sounds exactly like every other lead singer of a rock band on the radio this decade (and last). "Try to remember how you used to feel about me
and think about how you're treating me now. Then try to reconcile them, if you can. But you don't even remember, do you?" | |

He's kinda hot, though. Yeah, he is now. He was a mess the first few weeks though. Finally found a sexy way to work that forehead "Try to remember how you used to feel about me

Oh, I'd totally do him. When he's singing and he cocks his head back and sort of looks/squints down his nose at the camera..... my panties get wet. Or my dick gets hard. Or both!

DA kicked DC's ass tonight no question, I'd be shocked if he didn't tomorrow. | |

damn, that kid can sing. he gives me goosebumps sometimes. but not in awhile, so i'm glad he went back to "Imagine" to remind me/everyone else that when he's on, he's ON. "Try to remember how you used to feel about me

I heard that the producers don't want DA to win. They don't because of his father. They think his father will be worse than Joe Simpson was. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Ex-Moderator | American Idol has never been about markerable singers, though. It's a popularity contest, plain and simple. Most of those folks NEED American Idol to get a reconrding contract. They wouldn't otherwise. |

That's so true....but not many of them have been able to keep a record contract. Kelly and Carrie are the biggest stars to come from the show. There are others who have done well in other careers (Latoya London in stage shows, Fantasia both on the charts and on the stage, etc.), but most of them don't succeed. Hell, TAylor Hicks should have never won. I don't think his album sold 50 copies. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Hell, TAylor Hicks should have never won. I don't think his album sold 50 copies. Actually, that's not true. Think about it. Most of the contestants are actively working, doing well for themselves. Whether it be as a mainstream singer or doing theatre...most of them are doing just fine. They might not be world-wide known names, but they are working. And even though it's a popularity contest, all of mainstream music industry is. That's what being marketable is all about - popular with the masses - so yes, it's totally a popularity contest. Can't see why this show would be classified any differently. It's just a bunch of people with a dream of being a singer/performer trying out - not much different than auditioning or trying to shop around a demo. I do not think that using this venue makes them any less talented or worthy of success. Most of these people can fucking belt out a tune. It's all live and they all sing really well. Of course there are exceptions of some that are not that great. And I totally agree that Taylor Hicks winning was a joke. It's simply a case of a winner not being marketable - much like I see happening if DA wins. | |

I love love love David Archuletta. I think that David Cook was a little pitchy last night. I would rather buy a Dougherty cd than a David Cook cd. Sorry.
David A. for the win!!!!! MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop! We want cigar puffing men that look like they wanna beat the living daylights out of us" Val"sporking is spooning with benefits" | |

Maybe my taste is off, but I don't think DA has a great voice. He sounds exactly the way he looks: Good but there's no personality, sexiness. or anything interesting. He's totally bland. DC sounds like a lot of other people but, if I have to choose between the two of them, it's no contest. And yeah, DC is pretty damn hot. | |

I don't think your taste is off. There is no wrong or right answer. People like who they like. .....but I LOVE DAVID!!!!

David A. for the win!!!!! Now ur'e sounding like Randy. I'm sure you would rather purchase a Daughtry cd over a DC cd....but I'll bet u wouldn't purchase a DA cd (like most people). 19 and J will have that boy sounding like a male Celine Dion. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Based on last nites performance...david A will win.
i think he has a better voice than DC...BUT DC has more personality & stage presance. simon cowell was on Ellen, & he said DC "should" win & that DA's dad was Not that bad as a stage father ..that he had seen much worse. whoever wins...i am fine with, can you imagine the stress & presure they must be under?? | |
