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. 

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?

Samples of their songs:

This is David Cook's (current American Idol finalist) revival of Mariah Carey's "Always be my Baby".

He's got a good and soothing voice... ooh, i love him already!

Lyrics:

"Always be my Baby"

we were as one babe
for a moment in time
and it seemed everlasting
that you would always be mine
now you want to be free
so I'm letting you fly
cause i know in my heart babe
our love will never die,no!

you'll always be a part of me
i'm a part of you indefinitely
girl don't you know you can't escape me
ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
and we'll linger on
time can't erase a feeling this strong
no way you're never gonna shake me
ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

i ain't gonna cry no
and i won't beg you to stay
if you're determined to leave girl
i will not stand in your way
but inevitably you'll be back again
cause ya know in your heart babe
our love will never end no

you'll always be a part of me
i'm part of you indefinitely
girl don't you know you can't escape me
ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
and we'll linger on
time can't erase a feeling this strong
no way you're never gonna shake me
ooh darlin cause you'll always be my baby

i know that you'll be back girl
when your days and your nights get a little bit colder ooohhh
i know that,you'll be right back, baby
oh, baby believe me it's only a matter of time

you'll always be a part of me

i'm part of you indefinitely
boy don't you know you can't escape me

ooh darlin cause you'll always be my baby
and we'll linger on (and we will linger on)
time cant erase a feeling this strong

you and i will always be
no way your never gonna shake me
no way your never gonna shake me
you and i will always be
