Everybody who agrees that AI will have an all-David final, say "Aye!"

Just when you thought that nobody would ever do a worse cover of Mr. Tambourine Man than William Shatner -- Jason Castro lowered the bar tonight on American Idol.  I loved Jason early in the competition, but if he doesn't get voted off tomorrow, I'll make a personal appeal to the parents of every text-message-voting teenager in a American, begging them to, "Take away your kids' cell phones!"

Note to Randy, just once cut to the chase and say, "That sucked, dude."  Really, we don't need to hear you stutter through, "I don't know what's going on; it didn't do it for me; I didn't love it."

Although, I had to laugh when he said that Jason "just wasn't in the zone."  Are you kidding me?  Jason puts the Zzzzz in zoned!

Anybody else think that Simon's messing with our heads?  He didn't like Syesha's performance of Proud Mary but he agreed with Paula that she did a great job on Change is Gonna Come.  Then, he scolded Randy for making Syesha cry!  Simon, you've produced more contestant tears than a room full of strong onions.  That said, I think Syesha has grown and improved consistently the last several weeks and she deserves to stay in the competition for another week.

I'd like to believe her outflow of emotion was genuine and that she wasn't borrowing from her friend Brooke White's tactic of "cry and they'll feel sorry and vote for you".

David Cook, they were right about both of your performances.  Hungry Like a Wolf wasn't your best.  Baba O'Reilly brought you back.

I finally figured out who David Archuleta reminds me of.  It's the character of Ugly Betty -- without the poncho, glasses and braces.  He could be her little brother.  He could be anybody's little brother, altar boy, and kid most likely to get the crap kicked out of him in school.  I hate to agree with Ryan Seacrest, but David A. does look like he's about to faint after every performance.  His humble gratitude makes Melinda Doolittle look like an egotistical diva.

Putting aside relentless picking on the kid, his performances were incredible.  I agree with whichever judge said that Stand By Me was his best performance of the competition.

Yes, definitely a David-David final.  It's only right.

In a side note, country trio Rascal Flatts had a busy night.  Almost faster than I could change channels on my remote they ran from the audience at American Idol to the studio next door to perform on Dancing with the Stars.

Yep, I've been saying for weeks it's gonna be an All-David final. Or it should be. My one fear was that Jason would somehow wind up there instead of David Cook, which would have been awful. Seyesha I fear will be gone next week. She doesn't seem to have the fanbase the boys do. David A. has the tweens (and likely their mothers who all want to adopt him), David Cook gets the females too, but probably older. If you don't get the girls (to vote I mean) you won't win this competition. I truly believe they are the only ones who care enough to vote a million times. I don't know if guys vote that much and an adult might vote once or maybe twice. I'm pulling for David Cook just because he seems like a more polished performer. David A. has a great voice, but that's it. He does look like he's gonna pass out everytime he's up there. He's the 'youngest' 17-year-old boy I've ever seen.
