American Idol Final - David Vs. David
May 14th, 2008
I know our American Idol coverage has been lacking a little as of late, but in all fairness once Kristy Lee Cook was voted off my interest was cut to a fraction. Fortunately Syesha Mercado made the ranks into the final three and on looks alone she should be the winner, but there is some singing involved and Syesha was the one voted off of American Idol tonight.
Who does that leave? Well, if you’ve been watching the show it’s obvious, but for the rest of you, we can look forward to the two David’s going head to head next week on to decide who becomes the winner and American Idol of Fox’s season 7 competition. (more…)

It’s the voting episode of week six and coincidentally America’s votes bring the remaining American Idol contestants down to the last six as one gets voted off tonight. Throughout a series of performances and another puppet-themed Ford plug by the performers Ryan Seacrest weeded Carly Smithson, Jason Castro and Syesha Mercado into a small group of their own and another group consisting of David Cook, Kristy Lee Cook and Brook White across the stage. David Archuleta was held out to last since it would likely give away which group was the bottom three.
Well, it looks like we made it to the final 7 this year without having any type of embarrassment “vote for the worst” contestants on the stage. The loss of Michael Johns last week was a surprising result for everyone and actually added a little excitement to the show since this time it wasn’t as predictable as we were beginning to believe.
Whoa. I don’t think many people saw this one coming. Tonight on American Idol the Australian native Michael Johns was the one voted off out of the eight remaining contestants. This announcement comes as a surprise to many American Idol fans as Michael was not a regular in the bottom three contestants during the previous weeks.
This week we have the top 8 American Idol contestants performing after the loss of Ramiele Malubay in last weeks voting. I guess they want to do something for everyone during the season and this episode sports some “inspirational songs” for the theme, which goes along with the extra special three-episode week.
Ramiele Malubay was the one that came up short with votes last night out of the nine remaining American Idol contestants for Season 7. She was joined in the bottom three by two other female performers - Kristy Lee Cook and Brooke White.
