"Someone told me love would all save us.."

I really haven't talked about Idol on my blog? Oh, yay!

So, basically, I don't keep up with Idol, at all.

But, this season, my friend said that there was this really young cute guy on the season. And that he had talent. 

Hello, David Archuleta.

He did catch my attention, to a point. He lacked consistency and got boring at times, because he was too predictable. Not to mention, his dad.

Then came Mariah Carey week, and I was left in shock.

Not, by Archie, but David Cook. After his performance of "Always Be My Baby," he left me in awe. That performance would change Idol for me, forever. Ok, maybe not forever, but for the rest of the season. Not only was his arrangement better than the Mariah Carey, but it was clearly visible that this wasn't a game to him, his passion and love for music shown through. And it continued, even after the words from the judges. He got tears. I hadn't seen a guy tear for his love of music. Sure, Archie went close, but it was then I realized, David Cook wanted it more. And that it was gonna take him to the top two.

I got scared for Cook twice. One being Top 4 week. Also known as, Curse of the Rocker. Two seasons ago, Daughtry, whose audition he watched for inspiration, got voted off even if votes came POURING in. It was bad luck. Votes came in for him, but they ended up going to Katharine McPhee, yeah, I know. Different story. Basically, it was more or less, if someone so talented, that was rocker, got voted off that week, what made it safe for Cook?

America FINALLY got it right, sending Jason home. Confirming, in the end, it was gonna be the Two Davids. I would have liked it if it was David Cook and Michael Johns. I mean, they BOTH had talent, and Michael Johns left the show before he should have. 

The last night of performances was intense. Actually, not really. Archie would start singing and I got bored. Usually, I can sit through his performance, but that night, I couldn't. I'd leave as soon as he would come on. But, apparently, the judges thought that Archie had it in the bag. It made me beyond nervous. Not only that, but I wouldn't even be home for the finale. I KNOW! So, I had basically everyone my two really good friends on the east coast tell me the results. 

COOK WIN! I was like, wtf? You are so lying. But they weren't, America got it right. And I was in awe and happiness. I performed in a dance performance that night, and guess what? I didn't suck. So yay for Cook winning.

I wish good luck to Archie, though. He'll do fine.... When he turns 18.

Hopefully, Michael Johns gets something.

Oh, and the lyric as my title. "Hero" by that one dude from Nickelback.

Archie and Cook sang it.

Cook owned.

Goodbye
