i know i'll risk getting lynched by yalan (if she can even be bothered to read this because she's too busy voting for david arnold cook HURHUR) - and thousands of david cook fans across the world, not that they'd read my blog - for saying the following BUT. i'm youtubing david cook and david archuleta's finale performances and i have to say that the latter sounds better and just fresher, somehow. after jasmine trias murdered elton john's don't let the sun go down on me in season whatever it was, i didn't expect any other idol contestant to ever do it well but david archuleta did! and he's only, what, 17?
although imagine and the long and winding road kinda got on my nerves, because i'm one of those annoying purist people, and i like the beatles, so no one will ever match up to the fab four in my book. still, both were well-executed and pleasant enough. which i couldn't really say for david cook's performances. he just sounded... jaded. and like a lot of other stuff we've heard already, you know?
ooh and it appears that david archuleta plays the piano, and he played it when he performed angels.
okay and THAT was an amazing performance. i actually liked it almost as much as i like robbie williams singing it!
i guess you can really see people in their music, and maybe that's why david archuleta appeals to me. err yes, although i've only just youtubed his performances, haha. he's still young, and you can hear his dreams when he sings. rather more untainted, and hopeful, with touches of wistfulness and innocence, which is nice. you can hear that he's uncertain but excited about the future.
ah well, he just hasn't lived enough, and let's hope and pray that however much he'll have to grow up in the following months he won't forget what it was like to feel like he had the world at his feet, and more importantly, the feeling that he knew exactly what he was going to do about it. in a good way, of course.
