now whos the goliath?

David won! Yayyyyyyy! I Always knew it wud be him!

wait...

which David??

hahaha.. :p

results not out yet la as i post this..

:)

So this is what happened.

Watch out... s'gonna be a flood of videos.. =p
Took me forever to get these.. coz its still very early so the quality's not there.. had to go thru tonnes of them before settling for one that i hope is ok la.. :)



1 'I Still Havent Found What Im Looking For' - U2



2 'Dont Let The Sun Go Down On Me' - Elton John

(theres a point in this song, a sound, at 00:37, that reminds me of another... but i cant think which song.. :( i know its one i must have.. n wud make me emo.. OH WAIT! I figured it out while typing this.. haha.. Broken Angel by Hanson. :) )

Both have excellent songs first round, but i think Archu might have done slightly better at his than Cook..

Cooks song was great but yea i was kinda waiting for him to do something amazing somewhere along the way.. :( I mean, he still did an excellent job la, Fantastic ending, but.. Archu did a slightly more excellent one.. =/

N then there was simon who kept on talking bout 'all things considered', n Cook being 'emotional', den i started wondering Why la.. I mean, i think theres more to it than the whole being in the Finals thing la.. the way Simon was saying.. Probably Cooks brother thing.. :( (he has cancer, relapse, n Cook has been emotional about it during the season..) But i didnt know if he was at the Finals or not.. (some say he was some say he wasnt..) Anyways, more on that later.



3 'Dream Big' - new song



4 'In This Moment' - new song

This time, both not most excellent, but pretty good.. But Again, Archu had the better song.. (Yea in fact.. Archu did rather well in his.. N while Cook did rock, n it wud have made a decent single.. I guess it didnt really beat Archus..)

Maybe Archu just did really well in picking to be No. 2.. Hmm..



5 'The World I Know' - Collective Soul



6 'Imagine' - Lennon

I was a bit disappointed that he decided to do something he'd done before, I'd always felt it was kinda a sign of weakness to choose that path. Like in Katherine McPhee's year when she chose to sing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' on Finale night, when she had ONLY just sung it like, the week before. It was quite sad la, eventho it was an amazing song for her (coz Simon picked it, Duh), but, y'noe.. its the Finals, you really should be able to pick a good song n sing it well by this time. :(

So, yea kinda disappointing la but i know where hes coming from. Coz its a safe choice, he knows it did very well the last time. N they are actually kinda encouraged to pick songs they've done before that did well. -_-"

Makes for a boring performance but.. oh well.. It was the least exciting of his 3, basically bcoz we have already seen it. :(

But anyways, it didnt really ruin his chances or anything i guess, coz (other) Davids song, unfortunately, wasn't too amazing either.. :(

I cant decide who did better this round, eventho as i listen more i am liking Cooks song more n more la (while i have already grown tired of 'Imagine') but considering Archu kinda beat him in the last 2 rounds.. n this song not being shocking enough for a Final performance.. -_-

See, Simon says (HAHA!) he shud have done 'Billie Jean' or 'Hello' both songs he did before (amazingly well) (N he wud have beat Archie if he did..) but yea i applaud him for his whole 'progression' thing..

Also, it might not have been a right choice in the sense that it wasnt this upbeat, inspiring song that wud have been appropriate, n more in tune with the night.

But the thing is.. I think they will be picking songs that move them obviously, right. N see, the only thing Archie has to be worried about now is winning this Idol thing.. Whilst Cook has bigger issues n i think he picked this song, influenced by his current feelings.. n thats possibly why its a sad, soulful song..

So, pretty amazing.. (better than U2's i think..) N 'haunting', which is the word you use to describe his voice..

but not necessarily right for this last night.

[n then there he goes tearing up n all that too.. awwww.. poor baby.. N my mums like, 'oh he is sad bcoz he has lost the first 2 rounds to (other) David d..' haha.. but i think more like How overwhelming the whole being at the Finals thing, plus that being the last performance (that counts) for this whole Idol journey for him.. all mix up with all the emotions that must be running inside him la..

haha.. over analyzing much?? =P

ah but even lil Archies been on the brink of tears the whole night la.. quite funny that.. :p]

-

Ah so anyways.

Too long? haha.. i mood out after i put up the vids, before even writing anything but ah.. watudo..

Anyways.

I think, based on this one night la, Archu's won the competition.

i think im coming into this pretty un-bias la, bcoz i went into it rooting for them both. Feeling they each had their own things going for them..

So, based on the night, I think Archies got it.. (Yay go David! (haha) )
But i still think Cook will do better anyways.. :)

Oh well. Great for them both.

N now before i go, i shall leave you with this most awesome review. :p bcoz its so funny n all..
Enjoy! :)

Oh you know, just to note, this is the First time i have Really watched Idol, All the way too! from the auditions right up to this, missing maybe one or two episodes.. which i think i caught up on on youtube anyways.. Before this, mostly i jus catch whatever happens to be on tv when i past by.. n that also i dont really stay to watch.. (except the auditions.. coz those are hilariously stupid.. :p)

Anyways, that oso means that tomorrow I (think) I shall (for the first time!) wake up (at 8am! OMG) to catch the Results! bcoz i really dont want to accidentally stumble upon the results somewhere.. pfft.. :p

(but then again.. it Is 4am.. n i dont intend to sleep yet.. n i generally dont like results day coz of all the stupid crappy pointless uninteresting n unrelated performing... Hmmmm...)

Oh well. Will update on results when i get em. :)

P.S. Sorry for the crazy post. :p

---

Results out!

David won! (haha ok you knew that.. :p)

Cook won i mean. haha..

n eventho i said Archu shud win based on the night,
I've never been happier with a crowned idol.
bcoz most of the ones i root for tend to fall off somewhere along the way.

But Cooks great. n awesome. n excellent. n Hot.
So thats all gooood~

Oh n he cried (aww poor baby) coz he was so touched n all right
haha
n ofCourse that is a Plus. =p
