#141 - penultimate idol post

two more days of american idol and then it's all over! i'm kinda sad, it's such a great conversation starter week to week. i thought this season overall was pretty awesome, in talent, horribleness, and pure entertainment value. personally, i think that david cook should win for being the most talented, but i think that david archuleta should also win for being the more marketable. and i think that archuleta should (and will) win because even though i think cook has more fans, archuleta's fans are the ones who are gonna spend all FOUR hours on the phone voting whereas cook's fans will vote a few times and go about their lives. either way, i think this is the very first time on idol that i think i would actually buy the winner's cd, either david. but then again, there's itunes so...

and since this is my second to the last idol post... here are my top 5's of the season:
