    I have ANOTHER reason to think that it was at least partially staged and directed all the way.

    I have taken like 4 brainjuicer surveys through globaltestmarket. SOMEONE is paying for market research the week before each show.

    They ask things like if you had to buy and sell shares in aperformer, who would you sell immediately or who would you buy immediately!!!

    I think that they are trying to find the most marketable commodity.

    They take all the votes and the outside criticisms into consideration, but in the end I think they just want to have the winner be WHOMEVER will make them the most money.

    I kept waiting for the judges to run up on stage and stick their tongues straight down the back of David A's trousers!

    They kissed his ass practically season long!

    I stopped watching when Michael Johns was voted off. It was clear that he wouldn't win (I agree DA was picked from the beginning) but he was better than the ones that got voted off later.

    David A got on my nerves from day one. I think he always looks like he is going to cry cuz his daddy is too mean to him. I would like DC to win so I can see DA cry his little eyes out, but other than Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, no winner has done as good in "real life" as the losers. I think it is almost not good for your career to win AI.

    I wouldn't buy an album from DA. My daughter wouldn't want one either. So if they think they are going to market him to tweens & teen girls, they won't be selling any to my DD and her friends.

    i actually like them both...a lot. david c always looks like he's gonna cry prob because he is. he IS only 17 and def (imo) had the best voice all season long but david c is more marketable and has more showman talent.
    There is always someone bigger and badder than you!

    I adore David Cook!!! I agree with a few others, in that i am tired of hearing ballads from david a. And those fake "oh my gosh, oh thank you "looks after the judges bow down to him, are very annoying.
    I agree that david a was picked from the beginnning. David Cook had a great season. He is an artist worth following. I have even downloaded songs of his from itunes. I love his version "Always be my baby".
    David A you might hear on an adult contempory station, he is not an artist worth my time.
    i wonder why i get so wrapped up in AI, when whomever i would like to win, never does. In the end it is always a popularity contest.
    Well, i guess we will see tonight. have a great day all!!!

    I have a question. My daughter is a huge DC fan. She says she is gonna marry him ( my daugher is 26) lol. Anyway, last night she was all put cussing. David A was really giving it all. But David Cook just didn't seem to be giving it his all. She thinks David Cook threw it. She says he is so much better than he was last night. It kinda looked like that to me. What do ya'll think? Do ya'll think he decided to let the kid win for some reason?

    I love both davids but I think David Cook should win.He is the most original and his performance is so great.
    Again the judges were so biased tonight especially Simon. It's extremely unfair to be one sided at the finale when both have given it all their best.They should have just let the viewers decide without any form of bias.
    I really really think David Cook gave it all his best.

    Lors of food for thought. You know, I think some of the contestants just gave up, especially after getting lots of harsh criticism when a song was actually pretty good (can we all remember the jackassery luau comment from Randy after Castro's Over the Rainbow??). They have Archuleta pegged for the win, and this from the beginning.

    A lot of it isn't fair. Especially how they throw some contestans under the bus, like Micheal Johns and Jason Castro. Both were very talented, yet didn't stand a chance against "The Davids". But I think they will have the last laugh, because both are a lot more marketable then Archuleta will EVER be.

    The only reason I'm going to watch is for the surprise guests, and the segment they always do with the worst of the worst. I hope they bring back the "We are Brothers' guy, and "Let my people goooo" (ok, I am laughing to myself, how friggin sad is that?? LOL). Heck, they should even bring back Paula's stalker. That guy literally had me laughing my ass off!

    Regardless as to who wins tonight, I think American Idol is on it's last legs. They were bragging about this being their best season yet....I'm still waiting to see what all the hype was about.
    Unstable, yet irresistable!
    Dumbass....we all know one.

    Part of me wants him too, just so I can finally see a look of disappointment on David A's face.(that would probably be the only genuine response we would ever see)...The other part of me knows he would be better off not too...I think he might have realized that.......I dont think he will win, but who knows since the judges were so harsh on him he just might have....I cant wait to see if I am right or wrong lol....
