This season has definite been the greatest FINAL thus far!
What am i talking abt?? AMERICAN IDOL!!!!! I am a huge fan of American Idol, and sadly not Malaysian Idol, and this season, i must say, is my favourite among all the previous seasons. It is the 1st time where i actually love the 2 finalists and i am just watching to support the both of them and see who wins. i really don't know how to pick. I mean, they both have different styles and i love both! and i am so so excited to see they battle it out and of course, to me, the most important thing is not who wins, but rather, enjoying the whole moment. i guess i truly understand how they feel. winning is one thing, but i guess, if i were them, i would be proud just to be on that stage as the Final 2. ANd that moment, is definitely a moment i'd treasure and embrace for the rest of my life. and i do believe that the both of them felt that way and that's why we see tears in both their eyes. i guess it's the contentment and gratefulness to be able to be there on that moment. i've never really had such a big moment, but i do know how it's like to be so grateful and feeling so blessed.
In my opinion, both the Davids did an amazing job. Though i do agree that the first round, David Archuleta was the more impressive one, with his flawless n impeccable vocals, he made the song "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" by elton john (a song tat bored me to tears previously) sounded so so so BRILLIANT!! however, i disagree with simon that David Archuleta picked a better song than David Cook, because personally, i really enjoyed Cook's song while Archuleta's, well was pretty boring and not as catchy. the third round however, was to me a tie. Both were ok. i mean David Archuleta sang his rendition of "Imagine", which he had spectacularly done before, so there was no surprises there. David Cook opt to do something different, and ya, though it definitely wasn't as good as some of his previous works, but he has definitely got a point when he says "the show is a progression...so why do a song which i have done before". i so like that answer! but i just wished that he could have blown us away with that song, just like how he did with "Billie Jean". Anywayz, the show was fabulous. Like i said, the greatest showdown of all times!!! i've never seen any 2 greater talents battle it out, so i have to say, America got it so so right this time. of course i like Jason Castro, but we just know he is not idol material (yet). he'll do better playing his guitar n doin his own thing, with his own style ya. i'll continue to support his music nonetheless.
Of course the results are out and yes, we see that David Cook has just been crowned 'IDOL'. I am HAPPY!! and i believe Archuleta will also be very successful. A lot of ppl got it wrong. Many thinks that Archuleta will win, (Even Simon predicted that...hah!) but Americans proved everyone WRONG! So it is not a popularity contest after all huh? haha...i doubt it. Cook is also very popular. but then it's great to have a change. i mean, previous idols were all kinda pop-pish with ballads etc, but yes, it's great to have a ROCKER win for once! And COok is definitely, in my opinion the better rocker than Chris Daughtry (no offense to Chris's fans though). i am just kinda over Daughtry...cuz i heard he is quite snobbish n not appreciative of fans. i dont know. just rumors i guess. but then again, Cook is definitely the more creative rocker. Plus, it's great that Simon gets it wrong once ya. hehehehe....actually my fave judge is Randy. i just am sad that he doesnt get the credits he deserves. all the limelight is on Simon and sometimes it is so not necessary. Pity Randy. I really think he's a cool dude! Anywyz i just wish all the idols the best. the idols this season were mostly cool so i raelly hope to hear from them soon. (As in hear their albums...but if they wanna call me, i wouldn't mind hehe)
THis is it people. Before i go, i'd ask all of u to check out Colbie Caillat's latest single "The Little Things"...love the song and the lyrics
Take care
