Lyrics:

I Don't Wanna Cry

Once again we sit in silence
After all is said and done
Only emptiness inside us
Baby, look what we've become
We can make a million promises
But we still won't change
It isn't right to stay together
When we only bring each other pain

Chorus:
I don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I've given you my heart and soul
I must find a way of letting go
'Cause baby, I don't wanna cry

Too far apart to bridge the distance
But something keeps us hanging on and on
Pretending not to know the difference
Denying what we had is gone
Every moment we're together
It's just breaking me down
I know we swore it was forever
But it hurts too much to stay around

Chorus

All the magic's gone
There's just a shadow of a memory
Something just went wrong
We can't go on like this, baby
On like this, baby

And the new American Idol is:

David Cook !

I just found out about this thru the net (surfing during office hours? hmmm hope my boss won't read this)... 

Still, I'm excited to watch the show tonight... can't wait to see the cookie's reaction after the announcement. 

It's Tuesday, the 20th of May, 2008.  The finale of American Idol Season 7 is yet to be shown but -- check out your google folks:

American Idol Season 7 is now down to its last two contenders, and I know who the winner will be: for sure it's going to be David!  Ha ha, yeah, I'm so corny, 'coz the 2 finalists are David Cook and David Archuleta.  Cook is the rugged, rocker type, while Archuleta is the cute, boy-next-door, and very young (17 years old!) type.  So who's it gonna be?  Expectedly, my 12 year old daughter Pauline roots for Archuleta... me?  let's just say, cute guys are not my type.  However, after listening (just listening!) to Archuleta's song (see below), I'd say that this young man is full of talent.

So who are you rooting for?
