I agree that based on last night's performance the little David did better, but overall, I like the rocker guy way better. I think the kid fits the American Idol image more and that is why they give him so many kudos.
Little D doesn't change the songs at all and his last song was a repeat from a past week. Last year the judges jumped all over someone for doing a repeat. The judges were for little D out of the gate.
Cook changes the song, mostly every song all year including last night. Did little D??
Completely agree OD. Everything else aside, Archuleta sang his buns off. Perfect pitch, modulation. Would I buy his CD's over Cooks? Probably not, but he is a pure singer.
