American Idol Final Two – David VS. David
Yes, another Idol sang her swan song on Wednesday night, and given the way performances and judging went, this was one elimination that was far from being a blindside. Syesha Mercado was sent home Wednesday night, leaving the two Davids left in the competition to battle it out. Tuesday night was a rough one for Syesha, and it almost seemed like the judges were telling America to send her home, her performances and judging that followed received less than accolades. But, Syesha handled it all, including her farewell, with the grace and aplomb that she has become very well known for. Last night when saying goodbye, she appeared more proud than disappointed for having gone this far. She expressed her gratitude to her fans, to the judges, and to American Idol and concluded her Idol journey with a performance of Alicia Keys ‘If I Ain’t Got You’. But, as sad as they may have been to say goodbye, this leaves David Cook and David Archuleta breathing a very big sigh of relief as they move forward to duke out their vocals in next week’s finale. All of the Idol judges are saying even this one is too close to call yet. Whatever happens at this point, we have seen many bright recording careers come out of the Idol contestants, whether they won the big gig or not. So both of these two boys have very bright futures ahead. But it begs the question, which star will be the brightest, well America, it’s up to you. Who is going to be your next American Idol?
