[s:27] 花了一整天平静下我的心情。
真的是说不出话来了，这是啥结果呀！
不过我觉得这个结果有那么一点......我反复看了整场的安排和Simon最后的话，感觉这个结果......不说啦！Cook也很棒，但是不及小David，结果有时候就是会让人瞠目结舌。
小David，你的未来会很辉煌，我会一直关注你！年轻就是资本。
而且小David的态度一直很好，到最后还是如此灿烂的笑容。
一路高歌呀，小David你要。

昨天决赛后Simon的采访，这家伙太老辣了。早就看出了他们开始捧更适合娱乐业的Cook。只是我太天真，不愿相信！
Originally, tonight, I was so incredibly happy about his glowing comments for Archie. Especially since he publicly endorsed David Cook, not even 12 hours before the performance show.

But I thought, wait. This is far too easy. Archie's killing Cook. It's too easy.

Simon was using reverse psychology, coaxing Archie fans into a false sense of security, while simultaneously pissing off Word Nerds nationally, in order to motivate them to vote even harder.

I knew this was far too good to be true.

I'm sorry to be so negative, but the way this show just plays with Archie ...it's beyond disheartening.

At least Randy was on Archie's side from the beginning. The best singer, Season 7 is right there!




I don't know if Simon is trying to do reverse psychology or anything. I don't want to make that assumption.

But from what I observed, he didn't seem happy when giving compliments to Archie. I think he was fair, but he wasn't happy having to say things that he did. I'm glad he said what he did though. Kudos to Simon for being fair.

Something I didn't like though:

He made a public statement saying Cook is 1 of the nicest and most sincere contestants on AI. I do not disagree. I take it as a public apology for calling Cook "smug" a few times. I thought Archie deserved something like that or more though. Simon had times and again said that Archie doesn't have personality. At least he should have given the kid that same line - the nicest and most sincere contestant.

I wasn't happy when Cook said that "I take this as a progression and so why redo an old song". I know he meant no harm. But Archie was to do a reprisal right after Cook. AND, Archie just said in many interviews, before and after the performance night, that his original choices (more than 1 choices) didn't get cleared. And he was TOLD to do a reprisal.

Simon's "wink" to Cook after that statement was odd to me too. But it might not mean anything at all

这是英国的小David的粉丝写的，不愧是来自UK，把Simon看得很透！这就是娱乐界，无可奈何的游戏规则！

UK David Archuleta Fan thoughts on David and Simon and the show producers
First of all I have never ever posted anything on the net and forums and I have made this is registration today to share my overwhelming fascination with David Archuleta and his amazing voice and presence, I’m most certainly not a teen, 28 in fact and I have not been a regular American idol watcher until this season when I’ve heard David A sing, what humble and talented kid, best thing any talent show produced by huge distance in my opinion. I think Simon and the show producers knew when they found David Archuleta they found someone special, but unfortunately having big ratings comes first with those people. If we go back to the audition process the judges and Ryan were in complete admiration of David A and David cook was called arrogant and lacking charisma, interestingly couple weeks later and David Archuleta charisma was being questioned ( ridiculous) and David cook was getting called the most nicest and sincere person by Simon. I’m from the UK and we know Simon, first of all he’s smart person and knows how to manipulate people to vote for a certain person.

He has show similar to American idol here and last year it was won by Leona Lewis I’m sure you all know her by now; anyway she was the best singer but come under fire from many saying she lacked charisma, had no personality because she hardly spoke and not versatile enough because she sang a lot of ballads, sounds similar to anyone people, anyway Simon wanted her to win badly and knew how to get to the hearts of people by saying “she was nicest and most humble person he ever met and if that means you don’t have personality that he would rather have that than cocky and full of themselves girl artist he met. The same guy who saying this last year comes out and says David Archuleta does not have personality because he does not speak what hypocrite. When it the finals with Leona Lewis despite the fact she was way a head he kept saying don’t assume she is going to win, to make people vote even more and that is what he did for David cook Last night. Simon played it cleverly he promoted David cook in talk shows and on the night he gave David A false sense of security by sayings it’s a knockout, if you watch back his comments he never gave David A, a heartfelt comment, it was very cold and with David cook it was very warm, even with Paula she stood up for David cook but never for Archuleta who was breathtaking last night.

As for the producers they knew from the beginning David Archuleta was a star and the competition would be one man show unless they found another competitor who was different to our David, so they went with the rock theme to give their show a different vibe and you know what is annoying is people never trust their own judgement everyone loved David Archuleta before and as soon as the judges and producers started spinning this David cook is different and cool vibe people went with it, so did the media, I mean who is it easier to support in public the cool rocker or the teen heartthrob. What really angers me is this idea that David cook is different and David Archuleta is not, Let me ask you a question who out there is like David Archuleta name one artist, no one and there are million of David Cook in the music business right now who do what he does and do it much better.

David Archuleta might not win tonight but he stole my heart and I’m sure millions of others with his enchanting voice and presence. American Idol Never had someone like him and I reckon never will again.

EXPERTS WEIGH IN on Archuleta's success

American Idol' Finalists David Cook And David Archuleta: What Might Their Future Hold? Experts Weigh In

Archuleta seems poised for tween stardom, while Cook might head down the Daughtry road.
By Gil Kaufman

One person who is particularly excited about both finalists, but especially about Archuleta, is Michael Riley, senior vice president/ general manager of Radio Disney. Riley was rooting for both because, at its core, "Idol" helps raise the profile of music that's fit for kids and families.

"We've had past 'Idol' participants come into Radio Disney, like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and
Chris Daughtry, and we'd love to have David Archuleta come into the studio," Riley said. "We play a lot of different kinds of music, but he really fits our demographic spot-on and appeals to kids and families."

Though the winner and runner-up are typically scooped up right away by 19 Entertainment and assigned to a label in the Sony BMG universe, that doesn't mean other labels and managers wouldn't love to get their hands on them, given the chance. "The best thing that could possibly happen to BMG is if Archuleta wins," said Steve Greenberg, founder of S-Curve Records (We the Kings) on the eve of the final performance show on Tuesday. Riley, the father of 6- and 10-year-old girls who are obsessed with the show, added, "It gives them a ready-made teen idol, their own Miley Cyrus or Jonas Brothers, if they do it correctly."

Given the label's ties with Nickelodeon, Greenberg said it would be easy to cross-market Archuleta on the network (which, like MTV, is owned by Viacom). While a spokesperson for 19 Entertainment would not comment for this story, Greenberg said a male teen idol is the one thing the show has not yet launched. Cook inhabits a space that is already somewhat occupied by former top-four finisher Daughtry. "Archuleta could be the biggest 'Idol' winner in years, if they market him in a teen idol direction. I would love to work with him because I would know exactly what to do."

Wendy Goldstein spent more than 20 years working as an A&R rep for a variety of major labels. She knows a thing or two about "Idol," since she said she was tapped to be one of the panelists early in the pilot stage of the ratings champ. Between his youth appeal and "sweet" voice, she sees big things for Archuleta.

"I would like to see him make a great, innovative pop record like Leona Lewis' 'Bleeding Love,' " said Goldstein, whose management company represents Underdogs member Harvey Mason Jr., the
songwriter /producer of "Idol" season-six winner Jordin Sparks' hit "No Air." (Mason has already penned a
song that might end up on Archuleta's first album.)
