WEll, i salute him for the talent and the gift he has!!!!Since, cook won the the title, the next battle would be the album sales...right???Well, Goodluck to vote davids!!! and we really LOve you David ARchuleta!!! More Filipinos LOVES u!!!!
OK come on, Cook over Archuleta, you have to be kidding. Cook is just another Nickleback clone that continues to inundate the radio station with crap. Archuleta has the pipes and with the right training will have more versatility than you think he has right now. Ask yourself who will have a longer career , that hack Cook (just looking at him, I want to punch him in the face) or the guy with the real talent (like the judges said).
This is so not true. What youve been typing down on Archuletas side are so like the weak ones and thats what made cooks side stronger. Tss. What a shame on you. :( You made the Archie fans sad.
ALRIGHT! CAPTAIN COOK RULES THE IDOL STAGE ~ ROCK ON BABE:)
The fact is : Archuleta sang amazingly in the finals (of course he's talented) But watch again (on YouTube or dowloading from iTunes) the whole season David Cook has no comparision!! He has the charisma, personality and the sexier voice over all the contestants... While archuleta is like a child giving the best of him, Cook is simply a rock star. If i could vote i'll choose Cook without a Doubt! Vote for cook please! He deserves to win VOTE FOR DAVID...COOK!!!
