It was a pretty anti-climactic evening. No big surprises. There was the obligatory group performance with the expected bad choreography. The Ford commercial, performed to “Heaven”, wasn’t shocking.
Fantasia performed, and her red hair and wild dancing were about the most exciting part of the evening. We could sure have used some of her energy and animation this season.
There were home visits. David Archuleta visited Murray City, Utah and was overwhelmed by the response. Syesha returned home to Sarasota, Florida and was overwhelmed by the response. David Cook visited Kansas City and Blue Springs Missouri and was overwhelmd by the response. We did find out that David Cook originally didn’t even plan to audition— he just went to the auditions to support his younger brother.
Finally, the final two were revealed. Again, it was no surprise. The finale next week will be between the two Davids, as has been expected for weeks. It could be an interesting show. Or it could be another fairly predictable, somewhat boring week.
What do you think of the final two?


yea i am very happy but i was ruting for my hometown girl from san diego she was really good and her bar is cool>
I thought Fantasia brought something to the show that has been missing all season… energy. I love David Cook, but he does exhibit a low energy level in his performances.
They are both winners,so it does not really matter who is billed the American Idol. I will just enjoy hearing them both sing some songs. Both of them have a great furure ahead of them.David A will mature in a few years,gain confidence in himself and be an even greater singer. He reminds me a little of a young Elvis Presley (if only he would loosen up a little) David C has the maturity and can sing anything,but he needs to smile more often.
