American Idol Finale: What Is Simon Doing?

Normally I completely agree with Simon Cowell, the honest and bluntest of our judges. Yet tonight he did something I can barely forgive him for. Not only did he call a three-round knockout for Archuleta, it's like he wasn't even giving DC a chance. Gaspy maybe won one round, but there's no way he won all three. I hope America can see through the ridiculous hype machine to vote DC. In fact, Kelley and I each voted 3 times by text for David Cook.

The short version of the recap since I was busy with moving to Cincinnati...

Round 1
DC - "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" - solid performance, B+
DA - "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" - as good as Gaspy gets, A-

Round 2
DC - "Dream Big" - Ugh not a good song for him, but he does what he can. B-
DA - "In This Moment" - Even worse. Gaspy cannot save this song. C-

Round 3
DC - "The World I Know" - WOW! Knocks collective soul out of the park! A
DA - "Imagine" - Gaspy butches another Beatles song, he's just not made to be Idol, I hope. B-

Grand Total - David Cook should be your American Idol, but the judges will certainly have made it interesting. Go outvote the tween-tards please! Let there be Rock!
