I have to admit that I went into the night pulling for a David C. win.
The format this evening was for the two remaining Idols to sing three songs. The first song was the choice of Clive Davis. The second song was to be chosen by the Idol from the top ten original songs submitted this season. The final song was the Idol’s choice.
In the first round, David C. began with U2’s ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For’. I thought his performance was outstanding. David A. sang Elton & Bernie’s ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on You’, and David A. did a great job, as well. Simon gave the first round to David A., while I felt David C. actually carried the round.
The second round was not nearly as outstanding as round one, and I don’t think either of the two songs will ever see the top 10 on a record chart. I did agree with Simon that David Archuleta’s performance was slight stronger in round two. It was more of a ballad, and was a good choice for him.
In the third round, David C. sang ‘The World I Know’, and I thought he performed it really well. David A. selected ‘Imagine’ which he had already performed a couple of times this season. Obviously, this is a song that David A. sings extremely well.
Simon gave David A. the nod for all three rounds, which makes him the clear favorite to become season 7’s AI. But guess what, this is AI, and it is the voters that will decide. David A. is obviously, the clear favorite, but stranger things….
We’ll just have to wait until tomorrow night.
