I told Josh that we are definitely watching American Idol tonight. I absolutely love that show, but this season of it with school and everything I have missed a lot of it. I have seen the coming attractions and know who the top two are, but I actually predicted that David Archuletta would win way back in the beginning. When I said that, my parents who also enjoy the show, said that they didn't really see it that way. They were all hung up on that Carly girl, but she didn't really impress me. I really think that David A was the most naturally talented one. Sure some of the others could do cool things with their music and instruments, and several did have just amazing stage presence, however, now that it is coming down to the end, I do think that it is only fair to give it to the person with the best voice. I don't think that anyone would disagree that just based on singing David A would win hands down. David C on the other hand has an awesome presence and some incredible musical ability, and don't get me wrong he can sing well, but I think just singing alone David C would pale in comparison the David A.

In some ways, I think that American Idol has lost some of its excitement. I don't find it near as exciting this time, and I also felt that the few weeks I did watch that the song picks and artist's picks were bad. I don't think that the genres they chose this time around showcased the amazing talents that they were presented with. This whole season is just feeling a little flat to me. I guess it could be because I haven't seen every show, every week, or maybe that I have watched too many seasons of it, and it is getting old. I can't be sure, but I will watch tonight and see how these guys performs as chances are whoever does the better performance tonight will be the big winner. I don't think, though that that is the way to choose who is the best. Perhaps a better method of rating AI in the future would be to compile points based on votes and whoever gets the most points at the end of the competition wins, this was one bad performance would not get someone thrown off right away. It seems to me a more balanced method of choosing, but I guess these producers know best. It seems to me that each time I watch they are saying that "last night's voting results were the highest ever", I am not sure if this is a ploy to get people to vote or the actual truth.

I will watch the performances tonight and vote accordingly, I still enjoy the show a lot, but I hope that they find a little something to spice it up with next season, to give it a little bit of flavor.
