American Idol Season Finale: David vs. David

Well…we are down to the David duo as I had predicted in my previous article, American Idol: The Scotsman’s Predictions. While my predictions were not 100% accurate as I had hoped, I was right about the David duo being the remaining two contestants on season 7 of American Idol.

I am hoping in this article to evaluate each remaining contestant, David Archuleta and David Cook on their singing talent, stage presence, physical appeal, record selling potential, career longevity and any intangibles that may be out there.

So…with that said, here are The Scotsman’s evaluations of both of these amazing performers and artists.

Singing Talent (Tie)

Anyone who has even seen either of these young men sing one time knows how highly talented both of them are.

David Archuleta – This young man has such a soulful and natural voice and ability to hit all the notes necessary for his performing. His vocal range, smooth and even voice, lend him a talent that many do not have. He can adapt his voice to many different songs and styles and shines with each performance he does. I could see his future opportunities for stage work as well be a viable option as he diversifies his interests later on down the road.

David Cook – This guy came from tending bars, to supporting his brother in his quest for the American Idol crown, and ended up in the competition himself. He has demonstrated an amazing talent, but his niche is rock music. He has the perfect raspy and strong voice to belt out rock music with the best of them. Through his performances that he chose he demonstrated that he has the ability, skill and gifts to really let loose and connect with the audience. He has a level of maturity and confidence at his young age, that some, including myself, have possible mistaken for arrogance. There is no question in my mind that he would perform professionally at any time during his future career.

Stage Presence/Physical Appeal (Tie)
