The American Idol Finals: Who Should Win?
The following containers spoiler information relating to American Idol's Wednesday-night results show.
We perhaps always knew it would come to this. The weekly TVGuide.com reader polls wavered, but the takeaway rarely changed: This season has been about the dueling Davids, Archuleta and his flawless pipes and wholesome appeal, Cook with his moody, gritty charisma. Now, here they are, mano a mano. No third or fourth party to steal away the crumbs of votes.
But hey, before I get to The Question, let's break to give mad props to Syesha. As Lou Grant would say, the gal has got spunk. And as my wife has said, she veritably emerged from nowhere six weeks ago to start laying claim to her deserved piece of the pie. The wallflower who arrived in Hollywood bloomed.
The finals arrive next week. Though a handful of songs could swing the pendulum either way, it's time to make the call:
Who's your Idol now? Vote, people.
PS. Got questions for Syesha? Share them in comments, and maybe I'll run a few by Ms. Mercado when she stops by for her video Q&A. (No dreads this time, I promise!)
