AI Finale Part 1
OMG this is lame. The whole ep is centered on a boxing theme or something with a voiceover commentator and graphics. Oh ALW is back, looking creepy as ever but still sounding hilarious. Also lending his advice/song choice is an old dude. Oh it's Clive Davis.
So Clive chooses I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2 for David Cook and I think that's a great choice. I always wanted someone to sing U2 on this show. He starts slowed down and builds up like he usually does but I think it was awesome. Judges concur.
Archie sings Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me by Elton John, and yeah, I think this song was sung a couple (million) times on this show. According to Shera, the best was Clay Aiken. Come to think of it Archie is a little Clay-esque, musicwise. I could def see him on Broadway, or on the Disney Channel (like in high school musical 12 or something). Anyway the song is predictable- good but boring. Obvi the judges loved. I think they are just going to praise him no matter what, pimping him out.
Next is the new song, which means the lame song. This year they each get to pick from 10 songs. Just the titles show you how this is gonna go. Cooks song is called Dream Big and I don't have high hopes but it's actually not bad. Its a typical pop-rock sounding song, but I like the way its arranged and he sounds good. Judges don't love the song but like him.
Archies song is called My Time or something. Typical for him- slowish, big notes, hella lame. Judges freak out and say this round and the last goes to him (Shera and I strongly disagree).
Next round is contestants choice and Cook is singing a Collective Soul song that I didn't think I knew but once he started singing it I recognized it. It wasn't as dramatic or belt-y as Archie's stuff but I loved it. I thought it was a great song and Cook sang it really well and with real emotion, he actually started crying a little at the end and it was really touching. Randy says it was good, Paula, in her sparkly beaded dress gaving stood up for him but Simon thought it was the wrong song and he should've sung Hello or Billie Jean. Cooks counters that this season was a progression for him and he wanted to do something new. Agreed.
Arch sings Imagine, his pride and joy- the song that everyone went crazy over. Snooooze. I mean it;s good, but its old news and its not that exciting.
Bottom Line: for some reason the judges really want Little david to win and fawned over him like theres no tomorrow. We don't get it and are 100% rooting for D.Cook
