Because, really, if it were a boxing match, David C. would just have to look at Baby David and it would be over. A knock-out. But, okay, I guess I'm along for the ride. I need my AI fix, no matter how much cheese they put on it.
David C opened with the song chosen for him by Clive, U2’s I Still Haven’t Found What I’m
Looking For. He sounded incredibly strong, had command of the audience from the beginning, and confidently strode out through the crowd to the stage behind the judges. This David sings from his soul, and has depth.
Randy decided that "I’m gonna call you DC. That was a great way to start off this duel of 2007."
LOVED the look on David’s face: Um, Randy, DUUUUUUHHHHH, it’s 2008.
Little David was up next to sing Clive’s choice of Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me. This was actually one of his best performances. It was really, really good.
Ryan then explained that in Round 2, the boys were allowed to choose a song from the Top Ten favorite entries in the song writing competition.
David C decided on Dream Big by Emily Shackleton. I'm sorry, but I thought this song kind of sucked. I don't think it was David Cook's fault.
Little David was then back to sing his choice of Ryan Gilmore’s In This Moment.
This song was so much better than the song that David C. "chose." He did a great job with it.
Then, Randy said he, "Wasn’t crazy about the song, but here’s the deal, man – right now, you are so in the zone, dawg, you could sing the phone book."
Now, I really wanted to just tell Randy to shut up. How many times have they said that on this show? Someone just needs to sing the phone book and get it over with.
Another break and we returned to Round Three, the contestants’ choices, with David C stating in the video that he had chosen The World I Know by Collective Soul. Puppy decided to reprise Imagine from Beatles Week One.
David Cook sang the words with emotion, and I have never heard the song, so I kept waiting for some big rip-it-wide-open-lights-pulsing-drums-beating-crowd-frenzy moment.
It never came. It was nice, ..... but no big moment!
But, it was okay.... he stayed true to who he is.... genuine. I kind of liked it.
Then, Little David came up to resing Imagine. Okay, so who doesn't know this song? This is the perfect song to sing...... and he's already done it once. But, the danger here is that he's already had a big moment with it. Can he use it again with the same effect? I don't know.
OK, he did do a nice job. It was really, really good. He has a beautiful voice.
Simon said that the night was a knock-out and the night's winner was David A. Do you agree? Were the judges just pimping the little guy?
So that’s it, kids. One more night and we will crown a new Idol.
