Archuleta VS. Cook

Archuleta VS. Cook

Well it's come down to the two Davids and it's sure to be a close one! Problem is, it shouldn't be. Send Archuleta off to Broadway and leave pop/rock/radio to guys like Cook. Don't get me wrong, I think Archuleta's voice is strong, clean and even interesting at times. However, when compared to Cook's, it's boring in comparison. Not to mention, watching Archuleta on stage feels like an awkward, forced performance while Cook seems at home and even thrives on the pressure.

We all know by now that we'll see plenty of both of them in the near future. From the monster that is American Idol, we've seen the good and bad of what can be made of minuscule talent and maximum marketing. They'll give them both record deals, buy songs for them to sing, and saturate the masses. It's the way of the present in pop music. So may the best man (or boy, in Archuleta's case) win and we look forward to the overproduced pop they will soon release.

Rock n' Roll,
