American Idol 2008 Season 7: Final 2 Performances
By Jeff | May 21, 2008
This week was season finale of Season 7 of American Idol 2008. The remaining two finalists performed for the final time on May 20th, 2008. One will be eliminated and the other will be crowned the 2008 American Idol for Season 7. Jason and I have been on a roll and have correctly predicted the last two eliminations; thus, still leaving us tied for the competition. And if I know Jason, I doubt that will change again as we probably have the same winner.
David Cook came out strong and set the bar at his usual level, but somehow someway Archuleta seemed to rise above the bar in each of the three performances. David Cook made a huge mental error by not singing “Hello” or “Billie Jean” as Simon suggested and Archuleta sang his previous version of “Imagine” and brought the house down. I don’t think Archuleta ran away with the night, but he did win each “round” of songs. I guess in that sense he ran away with it, but I just don’t think that the difference was as great as the judges seem to make it out to be.
American Idol Winner Prediction
Chances are that very little actually changed among the fan base of these two contestants last night. I would have to agree with the judges that Archuleta did outperform Cook last night but I will still contend to my previous prediction that David Cook will outsell all hopeful musicians from American Idol 2008 Season 7. He is more marketable to the general public and has a unique sound and voice whereas I still have no idea what kind of music that Archuleta would sell. I know Archuleta will get exactly zero dollars from my wallet, but Cook will most likely be the first American Idol contestant CD that I will purchase. Nonetheless, the winner will be…
David Archuleta
The teenage “phenom” will be this year’s American Idol winner and will join Taylor Hicks in a few years as a winner without a contract being renewed.
