Annoyed with American Idol
Cook triumphs over Archuleta in American Idol.
I can't believe this! Its so obvious that the younger David has far more talent, tone and timbre than his older rival. All three of his performances in the show finale were perfect. For once even Simon got it right when he praised the kid for a 'knockout' performance. The media agreed (for a day). But then the audience goes and votes him out by a huge margin. All I feel like saying is that there seem to about 50 million tone deaf Americans out there who didnt have the guts to admit a 17-year old shy teen was worthy of being an 'idol'. Instead, they stuck to the safe option of an average-looking, guitar-toting, grungy 25-year-old with an emo rock style. Its not that he's bad, but I cant take that grainy voice. And Archuleta is just so much better.
Come to think of it, these shows are so predictable in their unpredicatbility. They thrive on the suspense and the upsets. When the American Idol judges gave a thumbs up to Archuleta, they were probably only egging on Cook's supporters to go ballistic with the voting. And voila, you have the shows ratings shooting up and all the accompanying drama of an 'unexpected' result. In all this hoopla, I hope talent doesn't die out. I hope Archuleta turns out a winner in the long run.
