Yes, we know all American Idol fans are familiar with this finals match-up, taking place Tuesday night. We can't wait to see who takes home the crown.

But The Hollywood Gossip has already pitted these two singers against one another in a feature that site refers to as "Tale of the Tape" Check it out NOW.

What do you think?

America must decide next week: David Archuleta or David Cook?

In preparation for his showdown this week with David Cook and Syesha Mercado, David Archuleta sang the National Anthem before yesterday's Utah Jazz/Los Angeles Lakers NBA playoff game.

Take a look and a listen to it now.

Think David did a good job?

American Idol favorite David Archuleta recently spoke with Billboard.com about his experience on the show. Here are highlights of the interview:

Neil Diamond called you a prodigy and a lot of people think you have an incredible gift for music. How does that feel?

I still feel weird when people say, "you're a good singer," because I've never looked at myself like that. I've always looked at myself as someone who loves music and loves to try and interpret it as I see it.

It seems like you're always emotionally connected to the lyrics you're singing.

When I was younger, I didn't know what made me sing the song differently or how I sang it. I still don't really understand fully, but the lyrics do mean a lot to me now, a lot more than before. I didn't even pay attention to the lyrics when I was 12, 13.

Probably around the second year I did "Star Search" is when I paid more attention to the lyrics. I thought the music itself had such a power to it and now that I've understood how powerful lyrics are as well, I think that has allowed me to progress.

The headline to this post pretty much says it all.

In preparation for tonight's big show, David Archuleta stopped by Las Vegas and mingled with this dolphin. Hey, buddy, whatever brings you luck...

This is getting exciting.

First, Jordin Sparks endorsed David Cook as this year's American Idol champion.

Now, Elliott Yamin has done the same... for David Archuleta!

"It would be really cool to see a young kid like him win," Yamin said to Entertainment Weekly. "I really love his songs, and musically, he's very talented. He plays the guitar, piano... it's nice to see [Idol] bringing out the creative sides of those kids."

As for the other male contenders, Elliott?

"No one's really impressed me this season," he said. "David Cook is okay, Michael Johns (since eliminated) is alright, but it's anybody's game at this point."

There are many strong contenders on season seven of American Idol. But we'll go out on a (not too dangerous) limb right now and state the following:

The finals will come down to David Archuleta and David Cook.

Do you prefer the innocent, beautiful voice of Archuleta? Or the risky, exciting choices made by Cook? To help viewers decide, here's a look at the pair's most memorable performances so far this season:

Are you a David Archuleta fan...

... or a David Cook supporter?

Following their performances this week, it might be safe to say that David Archuleta and Brooke White are the favorites on American Idol.

The former caused Paula Abdul to cry with his rendition of "Imagine" by John Lennon; while the latter showed how simple this competition can be: all you need is a stool, a guitar and a beautiful voice to turn Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" into a delightful, modern tune.

Check out each audition now and let us know your favorite... 

Imagine David Archuleta as an American Idol champion.

It isn't hard to do.

Following his moving performance of the John Lennon song "Imagine" last night, this 17-year is easily this season's favorite. Just consider the praise heaped upon Archuleta by Simon Cowell:

Very, very risky to do a John Lennon song, particularly that one, but it worked. There are 19 very miserable contestants sitting here tonight. Trust me. You’re the one to beat.

While this David is dominating the headlines, a couple others put on solid performances: the judges had mostly positive things to say about David Cook and David Hernandez, as well.

But Archuleta ruled the night. Do you think he'll win?
