David Archuleta and David Cook go head to head in American Idol 7 Finale.

For Malaysians, if you have Astro at home, tune into Chanel 711 (Starworld) for the one hour finale performance at 6pm or 8pm or 1130pm tonight.

If you do not have Astro, do not worry. We thank God for the information superhighway. I will paste the Round 1 performances of both David Archuleta and David Cook, as well as the recap.

The judges mentioned that David Cook’s performance was phenomenal.

As for Round 1, Simon Cowell admitted it had to be Archuleta’s winning side.

Well, it all depends on the Americans who had voted for the past few hours crazily. If you can’t wait till tomorrow’s finale results at 6pm on Starworld (Chanel 711), you better login to the forum at Americanidol.com by 9:50am. You would know the results by then.

As for us in Malaysia, who do you think should win based on tonight’s performance?

You tell me.

David Archuleta sang my favourite song last night.

OMG!!! Chris Brown’s With You has always been inside my iPod playlist and David sang it last night.

David belting his choice of number - With You by Chris Brown.

Somehow I somewhat agree with Simon Cowell’s comment on David is like “Chihuahua trying to be a tiger“. I can’t stop laughing at Simon’s comment.

However, he should sing more songs like this. Like what Paula said, we are so used listening to his ballads and it’s time to have a little change at times.

Nonetheless, both David Archuleta and David Cook are in the grand finale next week. I am so happy for the both of them because I am torn in between the two Davids.

Well, it’s up to the Americans to vote for their 7th season idol!! We shall voice out our preference based on next week’s finale performance.

I can’t believe this when I watched American Idol lately. It’s getting more exciting each week!!

Top 4 of American Idol Season 7 : (L-R) David Cook, Syesha Mercado, Jason Castro, David Archuleta

To be in the TOP 4, it would never be easy. Can you imagine the amount of pressure choking up their sleeves in order to win millions of Americans’ votes?

L-R: Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson

Even the judges claim that this is one of the best seasons of American Idol.

Honestly speaking, I enjoyed watching American Idol this year. It’s competitive for sure.

Well, it’s healthy to have competition between the top performers especially with these two Davids in this singing competition.

David Cook, who is more on the manhood and could attract tonnes of young women across the globe with his voice. Some say he is like the second Daughtry.

Belting away “Baba O’Riley” to woo the crowd

Cook can really hit high notes. I am amazed by this.

He is more of a rocker and this is no wonder I easily benchmark him against Chris Daughtry. However, this performance didn’t really work for me.

Something is missing here.

David Archuleta, on the other hand attracts young girls. He reminds me a lot of the Malaysian Idol 2 days when Daniel Lee was the winner.

Having said that, I am impressed with Archuleta’s performance this week.

His first number was “STAND BY ME”.

Come on, this young chap is only 17 this year. He is melting girls away.

He was belting “LOVE ME TENDER” by Elvis Presley.

I find it superbly awesome! I seriously felt the song.

OH NO, I am moved by this 17 year old guy!!

Now, based on these performances in the round of TOP 4, who do you think will be walking away with the crown of American Idol 2008?

Is it David Cook? or is it David Archuleta?

YOU TELL ME!!!
