I have actually been watching this season of American Idiot. The contestants this season were actually pretty damn good!

Some people ask why I say ‘American Idiot’ instead of ‘American Idol’ and the reason for that is that I think that the winners of the show are idiots for not taking a fall and doing really shitty in the final two round. Since the winner gets shafted by the network, the deal with 19, and the bullshit that follows. Look at how well Chris Daughtry is doing even though he left with fourth place. He did better than the finalists. So in my opinion (which you’re entitled to) 2nd or 3rd place would probably be a hell of a lot better than being stuck in a contract that makes you work your ass off and only getting less than 50% of all the sales that you generate.

But that’s not what I really want to talk about. Lets get to tonights final round. David Cook and David Archuleta go head to head.

Well, after watching the show tonight I have to say that it’s hard to guess who is going to take the crown as American Idol/Idiot.

I have to say that I prefer the style of music that David Cook plays over the style that David Archuleta sings. I think David C. is a lot more talented both when it comes to musical talents and to singing. I am a Rock N’ Roll person and that’s why I would like to see David C. win. I think he could put out some really good CD’s. David C. can sing and play some really good Rock tunes, I think he would also be a pretty good writer also when it comes to song writing. That alone is a good reason why he should take the crown.

David Archuleta on the other hand has a really good voice. But that’s all he has. I don’t think he would be very good when it came to writing his own music and compositions. If he wins this one, I think it would be more because of the fact that he has the popularity votes and not necessarily the talent votes. If he picked up an instrument to show off his musical abilities then I would be really impressed. He’s got a very good voice and can really belt out them notes, but as far as doing something origional, I don’t think he’s capable of doing so without having somebody else write for him.

As far as the show went. I thought David Cooks 2nd and 3rd songs were very good while David Archuleta only impressed me with his 2nd performance.

I really liked the song David C. did on the 2nd performance and I bet the person who wrote it was pretty amazed at what he did, same goes for the choice of David A’s pick.

I don’t know what Simon was talking about when he commented on both David’s performances, but then got to thinking, “He’s saying the opposite of what he really thinks because he doesn’t want to influence the votes.” We know that in the past that a lot of voters were going against what Simon said just to spite him, so I hope the same thing happens tomorrow nightt when they read the results.

Who do you think will win it, who is the most talented, and who deserves to win the American Idol Crown?

My answer to those questions are (unfortunately) David Archuleta, David Cook, and David Cook.

I hope this seasons Canadian Idol/Idiot is just as good as this season’s American Idol/Idiot!

I really hope that this seasons contestants are as good, and that somebody with some real Rock talent can step up to the plate and blow the show away. I’m tired seeing these Fiddlers and Céline Dion wannabe’s getting to the top three and leaving the real talent behind. Hopefully people start voting on talent and not popularity this season.
