I agree that both Davids are very talented, but I am a fan of David Archuleta's. His music really touches me.

Hey you! No1Davidar fan I would be smug too if I had David Cooks talent. He may have sung Incubus and Doxology and Chris Cornell arrangements but listen to them and listen to David Cook's version. HE rocked them and made them BETTER!He knows who he is and he also brings an intelligence to his performances. HE never fails to intrigue entertain and make us wonder as to what his next performance will be like. It's like opening a new gift every week. His consistancy to his music on Idol is more accountable than any other performer on the show. He should win.I would buy any CD he would put out. He is my idol all the way........MARS

David COOK is absolutely the best!!! OMG! While David A. has a beautiful voice, David C. is the one who EXCITES me (and I could be his mom!)!!! LOL!

In my opionion, David Archulete is the best singer we have on AI thus far. He has the voice, the personality, the charisma, and importantly the American Idol image. David A has a whole package of what an AI should be.
David Cook has a good voice but I don't find anything is really special about him. I must admit he is very clever in selecting and copying the right songs and the right arrangements that help draw the attention of the audience. He got his largest praise by copying an arrangement from another performer!! Its too bad that no one gave the original performer the credit. Could they not have known? David Cook surely knew, but of course he would not mention that he's not original what so ever. David Cook is too cocky for his own good. He turns a lot of people off. HE DOES NOT HAVE AN AI IMAGE. He appears to me as a grungy rocker. It takes more than a good voice to be an AI.

I believe its gonna be a major battle between both Davids. Archuleta has the young sweet attitude and charisma that will take him far. But I believe that David Cook has what it takes to go all the way. He is powerful and never ceases to amaze me week after week. I think that Archuleta needs some more of the confidence that Cook has if he is going to stand a chance to become the next AI.

Both Davids are great singers. This looks similar to the Clay vs Ruben year where you could not predict the winner. Archuleta was the early favorite, but since Cook with his Hello performance and his each week comming up with unique versions of songs, he and Archuleta have been neck and neck. It is sad that one of these two has to come in second, both are better than the last two idol winners, both should make it big when they record their first CD.
April 21st, 2008 9:39 AM
As far as i'm concerned david A. is the better singer. I would really really like to see him and brooke white in the finals, but i know that won't happen, cause as of today shs just hasn't shown she has it what it takes. But she has that humility, as does archuleta that david cook SORELY lacks. she is probably the nicest person i've ever seen on american idol, and i think she has a shot to go far. But, anyways back on topic, it should be david archuleta!!!
April 24th, 2008 8:41 AM
I believe that David Cook has it all. He looks like a rocker and very confident. David A. has a lot of growing up to do to perform on stage. His voice may be good but that's where it ends. David Cook all the way. He's cute too. David A. is not a performer/entertainer at all. I'm for David Cook. He's #1
April 26th, 2008 4:21 AM
I agree with Joan. Archie is adorable - a real 'cutie-pie' type with a fabulous voice. I think he's starting to crack a bit under all the pressure. He does have a mature voice and that is where it ends. He has the personality of a 17 year old and there is nothing wrong with that. He seems really nervous when he is on stage - (other then when he is singing) - he's squinty-eyed, giggly, shy, and most of his comments are 'ummm and ahhh', when talked to by Ryan or the Judges. He's probably ready to record - but in my opinion, is not yet ready for stage. Archie is a singer while David Cook is an entertainer. I don't even like to say that I become somewhat bored with Archie's songs half-way through, as it's always the same - the same. I am hoping David Cook will win and feel he deserves to. I am also hoping that he will keep this 'polished rocker' look. His transformation has been fabulous! I really wasn't too attracted to his looks during auditions. He's drop-dead gorgeous now. And, one final thought: It totally turns my stomach when I see someone slamming him for taking advantage of his cancer-stricken brother - saying that David used it to gain sympathy votes. I lost my brother 11 months ago to cancer and it's been devastating. I get tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat just typing it. I'm sure David was ready to burst into tears during his performance. I've also worked for Hospice for the past 20 years and have watched over and over what this dreaded disease will do to loved ones. It's especially heartbreaking when someone is so young, as Adam Cook is. David seems to be so kind and caring - he acts like everyone's big brother on AI. I'll bet all of the Idols just love him. Anyway, sorry to go on and on about this, but it's a real sore subject with me. For the people that have slammed David for 'using' Adam - I hope you'll never be in the situation of watching a loved one waste away and there is nothing you can do about it...

You can't compare the two. Both are very talented but their musical styles are very different. It's like comparing apples and oragnes.
I believe it will be the two Davids left standing for the finale. Who will win? I think they will keep us guessing right up unitl the very end.
April 30th, 2008 5:14 PM
both davids are good but i think (MY OPINION!!!) is that david archuleta is too inexperienced. he is only 17. yes that is almost and adult but he is still to young to handle it all. i think he has a nice voice but just not enough to win the competition. i think david cook is the most well-rounded contestant on this season. he also has a voice that never wears out. he is NOT full of himself. there is a difference between being confident and being full of yourself. it took him a long time to learn to be confident as it is with a lot of people. i think david cook is going to win because he is a great signer and he's pretty hot. david archuleta is CUTE. different. the only thing keeping david archuleta is his massive teenage girl fanbase. he is good but people take him to be better than he is for his looks.
April 30th, 2008 10:18 PM
Any one of you who thinks David C has a better voice than David A. has to be nuts. Have you seen David A's young videos? He's a born-talent. The David's have two entirely different styles. I believe David C is very typical rocker who sounds like all the other rockers. I don't think he's original at all. I believe he wins popularity by being a follower, copier if you will, of others. I suppose he would blend well with the other rockers. If I were a striving star I would like to "stand out among others" rather than blend in. David A has tremendous talent and room to grow. I think David C is cocky and has less natural talent. Whoever said David A. has mostly a teenybopper fan base is way off. His blog says he receives mail mostly from girls between 19 and 25. Hmmmmm? I hope David A wins because he deserves it. I like the fact that he's humble. I think he has deep and powerful character. American Idol is intended for exactly that. Yep! That's what I think!
May 8th, 2008 9:55 AM
I Think D.A is the best,i like D.C too,but he only does rock(not my style),david A can sing anything,and he has the sweetest voice ever!!!!,he's the one to win,anyway at this point of the competition,it doesn't matter for me who wins,i will still be his fan and buy his cd!!! i love them both,good luck guys!!!D&D
May 11th, 2008 4:58 PM
I love both Davids; they are so different from each other !! but I wish all the same that Archuleta win the competition and I believe that he will be the next American Idol.
May 12th, 2008 7:49 PM
Yes, it will be against the 2 Davids, but there's no dubt that Archie will win. I mean, he has the sweetest voice and then there comes david Cook who is too much of a rocker. DAVID ARCHULETA ALL THE WAYYYY!!!!
May 13th, 2008 10:30 PM
There's no doubt that David cook knows how to perform. He knows how to play with the camera and he got good showmanship however, when it comes to voice, I think, the little David is the best. Very pure and flawless. Yes, he is still a kid but very talented and down to earth. I am hoping he wins the competition. I voted for him this evening....if I am not mistaken 80 times!!!!!!ARCHULETA ALL THE WAY!!
May 14th, 2008 10:58 PM
Both Davids have great voices... But I hope that Archuleta wins because Cook doesn't always sing in key when he hits high notes, whereas Archuleta does. The winner needs to be able to sing in key- sure, I might buy Cook's albums if he wins, but I would never attend a live concert since he's proven to me that he gets a little pitchy on high notes. That's not a mark of a professional singer.
May 15th, 2008 2:24 AM
I think David Cook's the one who's overrated. He's the one who's less versatile; he can only sing rock! His performances are getting predictable and boring. He relies mostly on the band, and he's just lucky that the arrangements of his songs are always good. But if they were both to sing a capella, David A. will surely do better. American Idol is about being the best singer, and David A. is definitely the BEST singer.
