And we are now down to the last two contestants. Continuing on from my previous article, it looks like the hypothesis that the boys would be the last ones standing was correct. Whether or not that had to do with Syesha’s performance or gender, one will never know, however, we do have a good set of finalists ready to go! Last week, after 56 million votes, America decided that the two finalists were going to be the two Davids.
If you missed Tuesday’s show, here’s a little update before the big show this week. On Tuesday, each contestant had to perform three songs. One song was picked out by a judge, the other by the performer, and then the other one was chosen by the show’s producers. The judges didn’t feel that Syesha’s performance was all too impressive. To them, she seems more like a Broadway star than a pop star. I wish her all the best of luck; the top contestants tend to score their own record deals as it is! I mean, look at Daughtry.
So which David will it be? Will it be twenty-five year old guitar playing rocker David Cook? Or will it be
seventeen year old piano balladeer David Archuleta?
Watch the two night season finale starting Tuesday 8/7c! Generally, on the first night, the contestants sing two songs. One is usually a re-do of a favorite past performance, while the other is the debut of the “single” that will be released by the winner. There have been some jokes about having to sing the phone book this week! That would be interesting and would show talent! On Wednesday, all of the top 10 contestants from this season will get together in a big music extravaganza. At the end of Wednesday’s two hour show, the winner will be announced.
