Yeah I agree Joyce. He did look like he had lost some of his spirit towards the end, and he must be very relieved it's over. I do think he's unique so I'm sure he will get something out of being on the show. Caz I think Jason for the last couple of weeks has looked like he did not want to be there. As I said above he looked real glad he was going.

After tonights show I think its definately gonna be a david v david final. Syesha was good but I don't think her voice is powerful enough in her lower register. I didn't know David A's first song even though it was Billy Joel, his 2nd song was quite good but I thought the 3rd was terrible, he sang it ok but the song was dire. Syesha sang ok, I loved David C's 1st song, I didn't know the 2nd but it still sounded good, his 3rd song was also good but he did hit a bum note, I don't know why either because it wasn't as high as others in the song I still say David C is better than the other 2 by a country mile. I also think Simon wants him to win

Kind of knew that Syesha would go. It was a very emotional episode but I';m glad David C got through, David C to win!!

Well I think it's pretty obvious then that David Cook will win if the winners song is a Bryan Adams song, as there is only one rocker in the final. I don't think that is fair on young David as it's not a level playing field, same with the winners song for Leona v Ray and Leon and Rhydian. These songs only suit one type of voice. : You can tell who Simon's got his money on winning then. Yes agree David C to win..Heard the winners song is to be a Bryan Adams song..

Yeah I kind of thought that myself Caz after I saw the song, I got the impression that the judges wanted David C to win as well last week. Its nice when you want that guy to win but it is unfair on the other one, we have been there so many times.

Wow David Archeletta outsung David Cook tonight. Don't get me wrong David Cook was good, but young David was in a league of his own. It will be an injustice if he doesn't win as after tonight he definitely deserves to, and bless him he's so adoreable as well. But I'm wondering if it will swing the other way tomorrow when they both have to sing the "Bryan Adams" winners song.

I'm kind of confused by tonights show. I never knew any of the songs David C had, obviously apart from the U2 song which I thought he sang very well. I think young David sang really well but tbh I think David C has a much better voice and a nicer tone, David A is a little breathy at times. David C just didn't seem to be with us tonight though I like David A but after every song when he got such great comments he looked like he was gonna cry, call me sceptic but is he working those puppy dog eyes to his advantage ;D

David A was the best on the night, dc could have picked one of his show stopping songs of the series but as he says it is about progression and he wanted to do something new..I applaud him for that I think he is staying true to himself and his fans will appreciate that...I think both of these two lads will have a great future.

Yeah I agree Joyce, I was a little disappointed with him last night as he has been so consistent during the live shows. If the final is judged on last nights show then David A should win, if its judged on the whole competition then David C should win hands down. I know they will both do well out of this but I will still be gutted if he doesn't win

I was quite surprised David Cook won after last nights songs, but I guess you're right Dee, the public have obviously enjoyed his performances throughout the other weeks which has given him a big enough fan base to win, regardless. I'm sure David A will do well from this also. I couldn't believe what a drag the final was. It's the same every year. We get the whole world and it's dog singing for nearly 2 hours, and then five minutes at the end to announce the winner. Typical Americans.

Yes Dee X Factor next, Fantastic show it will take some beating.. Below is a posting someone made on DC....Sums him up..
he is extremely articulate. At last it seems we have an American Idol winner who is not afraid to challenge the system and hopefully do the sort of music he wants to.
With all due respect to some of the other winners before him, but with his maturity comes the knowledge that he knows exactly how he wants to be perceived as a musician. Some of the younger winners in my opinion are just moulded by AI as they have no idea what direction they should take.
I think Simon recognises in David Cook he is an artist who has the appeal to be successful both in the US & UK.

Yep, totally agree with that. Lets hope he is allowed to continue with his kind of music, thats the only thing that bothers me about my favourites winning these type of shows
