American Idol: David vs. David Night - Who Will Win?
Labels: American Idol, TV 0 commentsIt's the Battle of the Davids, probably the tightest one since Season 2's Aiken vs. Studdard. Why, the night even has a boxing theme to it. It's THAT tight, one punch could make a difference.
Round 1 - Clive Davis's Choice
David C - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (U2)
David C - Dream Big (Emily Shackelton)
------
Lyrics:
When I was a little boy
I swore that I would change the world when I grew up.
Nothing else would be enough
Back then it all seemed black and white
But these days I just can't seem to find the child in me
Who always believed
I see it everyday
We settled for safe
And lose ourselves along the way
Coz if u don't dream big what's the use of dreaming.
If u don't have faith there's nothing worth believing.
It takes one look to make the stars worth reaching for.
Took a well perfected plan
For me to finally understand
But it's not me
Faith is something I can see
I lose the reigns and let them go
I broke the chain of fear
That had their hold on me too long
When all I felt was wrong
I've wiped my tears away now it's time for a change
No I can't waste another day
Coz if u don't dream big what's the use of dreaming.
If u don't have faith there's nothing worth believing.
It takes one look to make the stars worth reaching for.
So reach out, for something more

David A - In This Moment (Ryan Gilmore)

Lyrics:
Driving through the city for the first time, you and me
Staring through windows and my own reflection
How can no window encompass perfection
Now that I know what it's like to be living
This beautiful world and never stop giving
I can't return to a life with no vision
Born into eyes not by my own decision
I wanna be in this moment,
No one can take it from me
I wanna stay in this moment,
No one can take it away from me
Give me a chance and I'll show you what's real
Open your eyes and you'll see
Then I'm stuck in a moment and no one can take it from me
I wanna be in this moment,
No one can take it from me
I wanna stay in this moment,
No one can take it away from me,
Yeah.

Round 3 - Contestant's Choice
David C - The World I Know (Collective Soul)
David A - Imagine (John Lennon)
----
Here's a recap if you can't watch the videos.
My opinion:
Round 1 - Archuleta. Clive Davis ruined Cook's chances on this one by clearly picking a better song for David A.
Round 2 - Cook. The lyrics are better and the song's style is not cheesy like the past Idol winner songs.
Round 3 - Cook. Why? Because it was an entirely new performance, not a safe rehash.
To hell with Simon saying Archuleta won by a knockout. He said David Cook would win just a few days ago. Look here.
I don't usually take sides, but I think David Cook will win despite the bad performance night. Why? All signs point to him. I searched for "Who do you think will win American Idol" and here are some I found.
