I always enjoy seeing what the judges and producers pick for the contestants, but some of the selections are just damn odd, particularly the producers for both Syesha and David A. Of all the songs in the universe, they pick a Dan Fogelberg song for Archie when one of the perpetual criticisms of him is that he hasn't shown he is contemporary and hip and they pick the song from Happy Feet for Syesha...what the hell is up with that? They gave Cook a great song tho so it makes me think the producers want Cook to advance. I know there is producer manipulation in this show but these producer song choices make it pretty obvious....and I like Cook the best so I am glad its him they favored, still, I hate to see what I perceive as blatant producer manipulation.

Dial Idol suggests Cook crushed both Syesha and Archie last night and that Syesha goes home. And even though I think she was the victim of a bad song choice by the producers, she didn't do herself any favors with her song choice and at the end of the day, hasn't been as consistent, artistic or naturally as talented or unique as both Davids so I think she should go tonight. I'd like to see the long predicted (awaited) all David finale with David A winning, not b/c I prefer him, but b/c I think David C will do better if he is not the AI puppet. I assume if he comes in 2nd, he can select his own record company, one that won't meddle with his creativity/artistic process.
