AOL Television has asked all the major bloggers for their predictions on who will win Season 7. You all saw my post over the weekend with my predictions on David Cook wining the whole thing but now all the results from the other bloggers are in and AOL Television has them up on their site.
If you would like to visit to see who has been picked by some of the others bloggers like Rickey and MJ then Click Here. Of course mine is in there as well.
If you have any thoughts on anyones predictions including mine please feel free to take a second and leave a comment.
I am sticking with David Archuleta, as I have from day one. But I think BOTH of the David’s will do well whether they win or not, since they both sing completely different types of music that appeal to people’s different tastes in music. I for one am not a rock music fan. But I am a fan of easy listening, such as Josh Groban, Michael Buble and Celine Dion. So of the two, David A. fits the bill.
[quote comment="34876"][quote comment="34866"]I agree. The songs that DA was given didn’t seem to fully showcase his talent last week, although I thought he did a good job. I also thought they over did DC praises, not because I don’t think he is a good but he seemed off that night. He was much better in prior weeks, yet Simon was throwing him mad props…very suspicious indeed. And yes, they certainly seem to favor DA one week and DC the next (mainly Simon though, Randy and Paula have been pretty consistant).[/quote]
I completely agree with your statement. DC was good, but he’s been better, and DA got some not so great songs (although the only song that I thought was a really poor choice was his own, IMO).[/quote]
The last two weeks Cook has seemed a bit off with his singing. I’m sure he’ll rally around and do great for the final though. As for Archie, I’m glad he was thinking outside the ballad box, but any song where a singer refers to his girl as “Boo” is gonna be darn near impossible for D.A. to pull off. :happy:

David Cook is the better performer. I hope David Cook wins. I hope that someone will advise David Archuleta that he is being verbally and emotionally abused. He is a talented person, but he needs a chance to live life in the normal lane.

H’mmmm.[/quote]
The A.I. pimping has leaned a bit heavier on Cook’s side lately, in my opinion, but both guys will do well post idol. [/quote]
I wouldn’t say that is true. I would say they have become more balanced and are pimping two boys not just one. After all 2 weeks ago DA “crushed the competition”. This week, “The night belongs to David Cook” (all quotes are approximate…:whistle:[/quote]
I certainly cannot deny that David A. has had more than his share of pimping, but Cook’s performances last week didn’t deserve the overpraising they got. At least he was given some great songs to sing. The songs Paula and the producers picked for D.A. seemed to indicate (in my opinion) that they didn’t want him to do so well that week. What do you guys think?[/quote]

Yah, I thought their reasoning was a bit patronizing myself, but that’s because I’m a thirty-something-year-old D.A. fan who dislikes being labeled and categorized. :angel: Cook is definitely a rock star already, and he’ll be much easier to market. The A.I. pimping has leaned a bit heavier on Cook’s side lately, in my opinion, but both guys will do well post idol. Cook will sell more albums for the next few years, then I expect Archie will discover who he is and exactly what he wants to do/be and we’ll see him emerge as a “new and improved” star.

[quote comment="34820"][quote comment="34819"]Will there be a thread like “Favorite moments from season 7″ or something like that before the season ends? It would be fun to reminisce, see what people thought was funny, sad, crazy, amazing, etc. (I didn’t start watching until after the publicity for Archie’s “Imagine,” so I know I missed some moments others caught.) Forgive me–I know that this isn’t on topic, but I’m not sure where else to post it.[/quote]
There sure will be :)[/quote]
Hooray! Thanks Slim! :biggrin:
