Tonight is the final performances for Idol. Of course, I love David Cook, and want him to be the winner, I just don't want to see his career completely tied down by the Clive Davis machine. Just think where Daughtry would be if he was forced into that winners contract?
Well David Cook lost the coin flip for tonight, and has to go first, putting David Archuleta in the "pimp spot" for the finale. Why is this significant? In the first six season of idol, the winner has always been the second/last person to sing, except for the year Ruben won, in what was the closest vote in show history.
BUT - Mr. Cook has one very significant thing going for him. For the first time EVER - A contestant is singing a song written by Paul Hewson and David Evans. Yup. U2. on Idol. It's about freaking time. He's singing I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. It was his own song choice, too.
They each get to sing three songs, one they pick, one that Clive picks and one from the top-ten finalists in the song writing competition. Bravo to Cook for picking a good song, and one that he hasn't sung before. Archuleta? Yeah, he's singing Imagine again. Not a dumb move, since that is the ONLY song that I liked from him this season.
