My Money's On David...

After Tuesday night's performance on "American Idol", my money is on David Cook. He is the most creative, original, and arguably talented contestant on the show this year, and I love him! I caught my breath in my throat during his Tuesday performance of "Always be my baby". You can download it for free on YouTube; someone online compared it to "the first time you heard the Police's 'Every Breath You Take'". David Archuleta, whose outstanding performance of "If you believe" made me want to cry a little, will take second place, but he definitely has a professional career ahead of him. I venture to say that either Syesha or Jason will round out the top three.

Although I haven't been a big fan of Kristy Lee Cook's throughout this season, I really feel like she's stepped up her game and come out doing well. I thought she did great the second week of "Beetles week" and I was bowled over by her rendition of "Coat of Many Colors" on Dolly Parton week. This week I thought she held her own with Mariah Carey's "Forever", but the fans didn't seem to think so, and neither did the judges. I thought she was much better than both Carly and Brooke, yet Kristy got the boot. I would've voted her off much earlier in the season, but I'm glad that we've had a chance to see a little more from her; she really proved that she deserved to be in the top 13, at least. And she made me appreciate country music a little more, too. :-)

Can't wait till next week...
