THE BATTLE OF THE DAVIDS ON IDOL
David Cook vs. David Archuleta
This year's American Idol finale could be (UPDATE: WAS) a battle of the Davids!
I like what David Cook does with his song choices. He made 'Hello' and other songs sound better than the original to me. He's going to make the best album of any Idol ever!
David Archuleta is okay but he gets more boring to me over time. He doesn't sound bad, but I don't think I'd buy his album. Maybe he's just not my taste.
What do you think? Is David Archuleta or David Cook better?
Your Turn: The Battle of the American Idol Davids
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byDavid Cook is Better!

It's pretty obvious that david cook is waaaayy better than archuleta. He sings better and not only that. He has the style, the looks, and the attitude. Well, David Archuleta is good too but there's nothing that special about his voice. There are alot of singers who has a similar voice with David Archie. David Cook would always stand out in everyway. He is so hott too!!! His face is just so perfect! AND PLEASE DON'T DENY IT... HE IS BETTER LOOKING THAN ARCHIE! Archie is just younger..
I must say like archie too.. BUT I LIKE COOK THE BEEESSSSTTT!!

If American idol was more on talent than a popularity contest,david cook would have won more 60 percent of the votes.Today teenage girls really like david archuleta because he's still young and think of him as an angel,but what if he's like 25 and above?they're not gonna adore him like they used too.Because he's old,he's gonna get mature.David Cook is mature and can sing like every song.

David Cook is better. His cover of Elenor Rigby was the best. David A. is good, but I just don't think at his maturity level he is ready for all pressure of the music business.

Jamie says:
Oh, and another thing, David Archuleta chooses the same kind of songs OVER AND OVER AGAIN! Light, slow songs...It gets boring.
Cook has a variety of songs he chooses.
Posted May 21, 2008
Jamie says:
Me, personally, I would much rather see David Cook win. He has talent, and he's older...Because think about it, the majority of American Idol viewers are 10-17 year old girls, who adore David Archuleta. If only they knew he was gay...
Obviously he is!! I mean how can people not see????

amber elizabeth says:
David Cook shows more maturity.
He's much more talented, and he doesn't seem nervous.
Archuleta has a nice voice, but he never surprises me, his music would just simply put me to sleep.
David Cook just seems more adult to me, seems like he'd go further.
I adored him since day 1, and always will.
Win or lose he's still my idol.

Shahar says:
David cook is most original and he deserves to win. he is not like archuleta who messed up on the lyrics,and he makes every song his own,and thats what ur supposed to do!

Vee says:
David Archuleta has the voice.
David Cook has the charisma, originality, range, vocal strength, personality, stage presence, experience, versatility, star potential, confidence, marketability, consistency, & looks.
Sorry, but I'll always be a Cook fan, whether he wins or not!

suyee says:
David Cook is the only one.
Because after all the performance.
I agreed to the simon, he is original, take the risk and got all the package to be next american idol.
David Archuleta is just ok, listen first time is great but soon will be bore.
My Vote go for David Cook. You make Roberta Flack proud for the "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"

in-G says:
i'm sorry archie fans but david a. is getting pretty boring and predictable. david c. has the hot half-smile and the same edge that chris daughtry. he hasn't even one and his version of always be my baby is already a most requested song everywhere. even if he doesn't win, he's gonna be way more successful than david archuleta.

well now guess what! It is the battle of the Davids!! Ya!! Sayesha was just voted off 5 min ago! So my vote is w/ cook cuz he has the overall stuff archuleta just has a voice...kinda weird one too... so go david and his guitar!!!

I agree on Archuleta getting boring, too many ballads. Plus I have always been a rock fan and I like David Cook's voice.

David Cook is by far the best. He has the best voice and such a great personality! He makes me so happy. He totaly deserves to win.

David Cook diserves to win!
He has a great voice!
David Archuleta is sooo annoying!
He should go home already!

Barkely says:
I'm a David Cook fan. I think he has more talent than David Archuleta. They're both great though... It should be an interesting finale. I think Archuleta has the tween crowd, and Cook has the rockers. Cook wins it on originality.

spudnix says:
Once you've heard David Archuleta sing once, you've heard it all. He get's really boring. David cook however, has fantastic arrangements, unpredictable, and brilliant

Susan52 says:
I love the maturity in David Cook's performances. He's already ready to be a star (as was Carrie Underwood) while young David Archuleta needs to continue to grow up to be more than just a pop idol whose career may or may not last.

fefe says:
I like David Cook's versions of songs better than the originals in most cases. I look forward to his performances each week and watch them more than once. I think he will go on to be a big star.
David Archuleta is okay, but boring to me. I don't look forward to his performances, but I don't fast forward them either. He has a lot of fans and might just win Idol.

David Archuleta is Better!
Madaboutthis! says:
I think that they are both very great singers and this website is stupid because they are both very lovely singers and some PEOPLE dont like stupid things like these. SO fefe, this is a stupid vote. GEEEZZZZ

everyone on this side is right.
david cook shouldnt win american idol.
vote david archuleta all the way.
Posted May 17, 2008
Brittany says:
I completely agree with Caelyn.
Archuleta deserves this more.
He should win.
Posted May 17, 2008
Caelyn says:
David Archuleta wanted this all along.
He couldn't wait to audition.
David Cook just randomly got picked while his brother was auditioning.
He never wanted this.
Both David's have amazing voices.
I think David Cook wants to win, for the sake of winning.
Archuleta has always wanted the American Idol title.
He deserves it most. With his ever so positive attitude and thoughtfulness, along with his wonderful talent, why shouldn't he win?

David Archuleta is 100 times better than Cook. Cook is too cocky and a wannabe.

Samantha says:
David A's sound amazing. He has the voice of an angel and he is so dam cute. David C on the other hand, has been creative in his arrangements but also has plenty of pitch problems.

I think that David Archuleta is an amazing singer. I find some of the other idols to be kind of boring at times. His voice is just plain amazing to me and I hope he wins it! =]

Austine says:
I like David Archuleta and I like how he does his songs. David Cook makes everything sound 'rock' - not that it's a bad thing, it sounds pretty good actually, it's just not my taste.
Posted April 28, 2008
JustBon-Crochet-Designs says:
I have been following Archuleta since the beginning of this season, and believe he has the purer voice. I can understand David Cook's popularity, as he does put his own twist on well-known songs and does have a contemporary style.
But, for purely his singing skills, my vote goes to David Archuleta.
