The Friday Question - American Idol

Mike March 28th, 2008 Questions, Television

It’s time for American Idol predictions. I should have done it with the Top 10, but a week late never hurt anybody. It’s been an interesting season on American Idol so far, one that seems to have a lot of good, talented singers, but no clear cut leader.

So the Friday Question is:

Who do you think WILL win American Idol AND who do you WANT to win?

Like I said, this is a tough season and a tough question.

Who do I want to win? I really don’t know at this point, but I think David Cook may have the best chance to do well. I like Brooke White, but she may not have enough of what it takes.

So for me…I think David Cook is going to win. Of course, some seem to end up doing better if they DON’T win, ala Chris Daughtry, so perhaps I really would rather David Cook finished in the top three and then hit it big on another label.

But who do I want to win? I like Brooke, Carly and Jason a lot, and if one of them could just break out, ala Kelly Clarkson, I’d love it if one of them was declared the winner.

What about you?

Make your choice known and we’ll come back to this after the final decision and give props to the correct guessers!

Provided that the prepubescent girls don't overtake the vote and propel David Archuleta all the way up, I think "Bean" has it sewn up.

Michael & Carly will likely go on to do other stuff, a la Kelly Clarkson, but Jason & Brooke won't. I predict that David A. will find his way into a 4-piece boy band and go on theme park tours. He's just too saccharin-sweet to thrive in the real world.

I agree with Ape, even though he didnt say anything yet =) young boy toy Archuletta will win, cause too many teeny-bopper girls and their crushes will call him to victory.
However, I would prefer out of all the contestants that Michael Johns win.. he looks like, acts like, he would be the best rock star out of any of them, hes got the gusto of a star in waiting!!

The strangest thing about this competition (and probably a nightmare to Idol producers) is that I don't care who wins anymore! Not to say that I want someone sucky to win, but overall, I think if you make it in the Top 5, you have just as good of a chance to do something with your newfound exposure.

But to play along, I think David Cook could win it all... Dawg, I mean he's got colors and textures, and doesn't sound like some ghastly cruise ship performer!

"Bean" = David Cook. So named by me because of his bean-shaped noggin' that his atrocious haircut does nothing to disguise. Early on, I was convinced that he was way too cocky even despite his talent, but I've about decided that the swagger is just personality, not ego. But fer goodness sakes, somebody get the guy a hair stylist tho!

Jason has some heck of an ego, however. He's absolutely convinced of his own beauty. Very sad that his talents comes nowhere near compensating.

Oh dawg, could Randy Jackson be any more white? He (briefly) played bass for Journey & Whitney Houston. C'mon dawg! He tries entirely too hard to be far more hip than he'll ever quite be. Give Dorothy back the ruby slippers and suck it up!

Anybody else notice that nearly every time he criticizes a performer for being "pitchy," his own voice cracks while saying the word? Dawg. That's pitchy!

David Archuletta is so cute, I want to pop off his head, super glue it onto a cabbage patch kid and carry around my own cutie pie doll everywhere I go.
BARF!
He will win b/c old ladies and preteen girls will be shown crying in the audience in about 3 weeks. He'll go on to have his own Nickelodeon show and brand of energy drinks. But like Jina said, I don't really care b/c the other truly great people should crack the top 5 and still have the chance to be successful.

I think I'm with Jina, I really don't care who wins, altho I'd add as long as it's not David A. We've seen with Daughtry that sometimes it's better to not win.
