Entertainment on Parade

The last real show is over for “American Idol’ and all that remains is the over-stuffed finale in which we will finally learn who won this season. It came down to a battle of the Davids and judge Simon Cowell declared one the clear winner last night. David Archuleta, the 17 year old from Utah, sang “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” “In This Moment,” and “Imagine.” David Cook sang “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,”"Dream Big,” and “The World I Know.”

Did David Cook make a mistake choosing some lesser known songs for the first part of the finale? He said, “If I had to choose between playing a song that not a whole lot of people know that I could get behind, or the opposite, I’ll choose the lesser-known every time.” But, it may cost him the title.

However, could he have purposefully not given his all for this one? I mean, the third best selling American Idol ever is Chris Daughtry who finished in fourth place in season five. He’s been all the other winners and runners up with the exception of first season winner Kelly Clarkson and fourth season winner Carrie Underwood. Simon told David Archuleta “David [Archuleta], you came out here tonight to win, and what we have witnessed is a knockout.” We will just have to wait until tonight to see.
