It’s 10 minutes to American Idol and my laptop isn’t even charged! Damn it – now how am I supposed to plop in front of the TV with my laptop? Oh well – I’ll find a way to do so. IT’S THE FINAL TOP 2 AND I’M SO EXCITED, I JUST CAN’T HIDE IT!
But before we move onto Idol, I would like to blabber on about the perils of my oh-so wonderful life – can’t you tell I’m being sarcastic about the word ‘wonderful?’ No? Well fine then...
Today I had my French Writing Exam from like 3:45 – 4:30PM – what a drag it was. The scenarios were pretty easy which I must say might be the reason as to why I finished the paper 45 minutes earlier than finishing time. Impressive yeah? HAHA – not quite, because there’s always this twist about finishing a paper early; everything turns out to be wrong! Well I just hope that in my case, not everything is wrong! So like I said, I finished the paper a wee-bit early than due time and I was just so eager to finish checking through if my tenses and endings were correct. Why you might say? Well it was late afternoon which is the time where my brain falls out of place and KOs me. Yes – I fell asleep during the exam for like ten minutes where I wake up to check the time realising that we still have twenty minutes to kill. LOL – I even took out my scrap piece of paper and started writing lyrics down to the song ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon. Want to know why? David Archuleta♥ will be singing it tonight! Yes I know I spoilt myself my going onto rickey.org to speculate song choices. I really hope David Archuleta♥ knocks America dead to acquire all the votes he needs to win Idol! Anyway, I was seriously so bored that I scribbled down on the scrap piece of paper: ‘Voulez-vous cocher avec moi? Se soir?’ HAHA – well it was a French Exam right? Anyway, less than five minutes to Idol – time to find a way to put my laptop in front of the TV and finding a socket for my plug nearby!...
The American Idol addict is back with her reviews on tonight’s American Idol Top 2 finalists! This is going to be a nail-biting show for one mess up could cost one of our Idols dreams. Let’s make David Archuleta’s dream come true by crowning him the winner of American Idol 2008!
Tonight, as you might’ve read from my previous entry, the Top 2 finalists will be singing 3 songs: a previous one they’ve sung before, a new song and their coronation song from the American Idol songwriter competition. Okay, I’m leaving my laptop on the dining room table and coming back when commercials are on. I hate doing this for then I’d have to remember everything that happens and then type it up – oh well I have no choice...
*Note: Never let your sister drain the batteries out of your laptop.
OMG HAHA – the introduction to American Idol was so different yet so HILARIOUS! They introduced the show with a boxing commentator having David Cook in the red corner and David Archuleta in the blue corner wearing their boxing attires! It was hilarious seriously, I couldn’t stop laughing!
This year the finale takes place in the Nokia Theatre instead of the Kodak Theatre and I must say, the Nokia Theatre looks way better and fits more people – over 7,000 people are watching the show live in the arena – like WOW! David Archuleta♥ thinks that David Cook is a nice guy and you know, it all really comes down to having fun until the crowning of the winner and you just have to give it your all whether of not you win over the crowd...
Tonight’s show will consist of three rounds where Round 1 songs are picked by the legendary Clive Davis...
Last week – David Archuleta♥ won the coin toss and has decided to go second tonight, so the show opens tonight with David Cook performing “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” – I’m not trying to be biased since David Archuleta♥ has my vote, but I think that David Cook’s first performance was just OK and didn’t have me down in chills or tears.
David Archuleta performs next with “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” – OH MY GOSH! ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! David Archuleta♥ had me almost in tears during the song, and when they got to the judges comments, my tears drastically ran down my face... Randy thought he had the ‘crazy vocals’ and according to...
Simon: Round 1 goes to Archuleta!
OH MY GOSH I’M SO HAPPY! David Archuleta♥ is crying! Awwwww~
Round 2: Contestants Choices (New Song)
David Cook takes the stage once more performing Dream Big – I thought it was just another OK performance because for me the song he sang was a bit shouty and the problem is because with ‘rock’ music, the melody and beat seems to be more catchy than the real vocals itself. I seriously couldn’t even catch a single phrase or line from the song except for ‘Dream Big.’ Simon thought it didn’t sound like a winning song...
David Archuleta is back again with “In This Moment” – OH MY GOSH! Yet another brilliant performance by David Archuleta♥ and what a perfect song choice for him to sing ♪In this moment, no one will take it away from me...♫ He’s not letting David Cook take the crown from him! Simon commented on his song choice saying it was ‘egoistical’ but he meant it in a good way at least, because David Archuleta♥ has to pick the right songs in order to win American Idol!
Simon: Round 2 once again goes to David Archuleta.
Round 3: Contestants Choices (Previous Song)
David Cook once again takes the stage with “The World I Know” – as I said earlier, I went on rickey.org to speculate the song choices for tonight’s performance and when I came across David Cook’s pick on previous songs he has sung, I was expecting him to have chosen “Always Be My Baby” – but no, he picked a song that he has never sung before in the past during his time on Idol. For me, I thought his take on “The World I Know” threw him off the bus – it wasn’t even a good performance and I didn’t feel the song. At the end of the song, Simon commented about his song choice and said that it was completely wrong. Even Simon had a say about how he should’ve chosen ‘Billie Jean’ or ‘Hello’ and once again David Cook shows the whole world the arrogant person he is.
David Cook: It’s called progressing, and why pick a song that I’ve already done?
David Cook dares say back at Simon Cowell after the comment he made towards David Cook about picking the wrong song. Cowell’s face on a scale of 1 to 10 was a ten on the ‘very-annoyed’ look. However, David Cook shed tears after his performance on this song...
At last but not least, for the last time on American Idol Season 7, David Archuleta♥ takes the stage to show the world one more time why he deserves to win American Idol 2008, with “Imagine” (a song that he has definitely done in the past during his time on Idol) by John Lennon. I must say that he changed the melody a bit to the first time he sang it and I pretty much must say that Simon Cowell wrapped up his whole performance...
Simon: ...Tonight we have witnessed a KNOCK OUT!
David Archuleta♥ looked like he was going to cry again – it’s so sweet.
Three – nil to David Archuleta♥!
DAVID ARCHULETA♥ IS IN HIS GAME TONIGHT AND WILL WIN AMERICAN IDOL 2008
Catch the Finale tomorrow night on Star World from 6:00 – 8:00PM
I know I won’t be missing the crowning moment!
