Shocker: David Cook Will Win American Idol

On Tuesday night, I wrote in this space that David Archuleta scored a TKO over Idol opponent David Cook -- and while that was the opinion of the judges and writers across the country, apparently it is not the will of the people.
Unless DialIdol.com has finally lost its finale luster, David Cook is going to score a massive upset win over the 17-year-old teen phenom from Utah.
As of midnight, DialIdol.com has Cook winning handily, while ZabaSearch had Archuleta winning only to retract it and call the race even a bit later in 2000 Election Night fashion.
High drama.
As of Wednesday morning, Cook had a clear edge on his finale counterpart -- and I am virtually 100 percent confident that the Blue Springs, Mo., native will win.
Perhaps a Cook win would be a bit of intrigue at the end of a rather dull season. All the tweens would be atwitter with controversy, and the David Archuleta cult, er, fandom would be enraged. Heck, there could even be lawsuits.
Perhaps a fist fight (or a slap fight) among fans.
I stick by what I wrote Tuesday night: Vocally, it was no contest. The Kid pounded The Rocker, but reality television democracy can be a bitch, and it won't hurt my feelings one iota if Cook were to upset Archuleta.
Heck, it'll give me weeks worth of extra content to post right here.

Vocally, yes The Kid was better. That being said, I enjoyed the more polished performance by Cook. One might say you need to be able to perform...you know the total package, and David Cook has that. The "duh" look that The Kid portrays is boring...like he is just singing...oh yeah he is. He is never emotionally in any song he sings. I wouldn't waste a taco bell laden poop on The Kid's record. Come on America!!!!! Vote for Cook!!!

Although, you have to admit that it will be entertaining when The Kid's stage dad whips his tail in front of America for losing. ;-)
