Tonight, the final three contestants will become two. We will finally know who will make it to the finale on ‘American Idol’ season 7, with a chance to become the next ‘American Idol.’ It’s down to David Cook, David Archuleta, and Syesha Mercado.

Tiff: The final three performed “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now.” David Archuleta sounded a little flat…. they sounded good singing together, but I’d feel really silly doing those moves.

Tiff: Former ‘Idol’ winner Fantasia Barrino came back to perform and showed off her bright red hair. Simon looked less than amused during her performance. Yeah, I’m sorry.

Kim: That was easily the most entertaining this this season. Thank you Fantasia. Thank you.

Tiff: David Archuleta was asked to come out first, and they showed more of his hometown video. He was cute after when he said it was embarrassing because they showed a lot of him crying. The show was really playing up the potential of a”shocker” because Ryan was saying “This could be David’s last time on the stage, we want to celebrate his time here,” before he saw a video of his journey. Then, Syesha Mercado was asked to join Ryan center stage, where she got to see more of her hometown video, and then the video of her journey as well. And last, David Cook was also asked to join Ryan, where he also got to see more of his hometown video, and a video of his time on the show.

Kim: Gosh.

The Person Going Home Is

Tiff: Syesha Mercado. Poor David Archuleta seemed like he was about to pass out after he was told he was going to be in the finale. This is what I wanted, and predicted earlier in the season. David Cook or David Archuleta will be the next ‘Idol.’

Kim: WHAT?!? You predicted that? You really went out on a limb there! You must be psychic because NO ONE saw that coming! Brother…

SOMEONE does not look amused.

And a big HA HA to all the Cooktards who wanted little David out! Suuuuucks tooo beeee yooouuuuuu :*

Next Week…David vs. Goliath The Giant (Forehead)

Tonight, things almost come to an end. The final three, David Cook, David Archuleta, and Syesha Mercado sing three songs each on ‘American Idol,’ season 7. The performers choose one song, a judge chooses a song, and the producer chooses a song.

Tiff: David Archuleta was set to sing “And So It Goes” from judge Paula Abdul. The acapella beginning for the song was a very smart choice, because it really showed David’s voice, and of course, I loved the strings. It was a good song choice for him. I agree with Simon in that it was predictable, but he did well.

Kim: I wish she would’ve given him something more exciting, but boy did his voice sound FLAWLESS. The a capella in the beginning was really beautiful. Would’ve been nice if he had played piano on this one, but he always sounds better when he doesn’t. I don’t like what he’s wearing though.

Now THAT’S the kind of Lost episode I like! Lot’s of stuff about Jacob, more Desmond on the freighter, Locke and Ben giving each other the evil eye, Richard! Abbadon!! Perfect.

We’ve almost come to the end of the season. Tonight, the remaining four contestants will become three, and we’re only a show away (or two counting next week’s results,) from the coveted finale of ‘American Idol’s’ season 7. Who would leave tonight?

Tiff: The top four sang “Reelin’ in the Years.” As usual, a bit cheesy, no?

Kim: Wow, 500 songs to chose from and they picked that one. Nice.

Tiff: Season four alum Bo Bice came back to perform. Did anyone else think Bo looked a little stoned or dead-eyed?

Kim: Maybe he’s been hanging with Jason?

Tiff: And, Maroon 5 performed as well. I still hate that they waste so much of our time with this sort of performance week after week after week. *yawn*

The Person Going Home Is…

Tiff: No surprise, Jason Castro, who seemed very relieved.

Kim: He’s been ready to go for a while. But 4th is ranking to hold, especially for someone who sounds like him, he should be proud.

The curse of the odd year 4th place shocker is officially broken. As much as I would’ve LOVED to see David Cook go home, it’ll be so much more satisfying to see him playing at Epcot later this year, so vote like there’s no tomorrow next week Cooktards! And a big HA HA to all those who were hoping ArchuD2 would get the boot.

And speaking of little David, you know, I’ve GOT to agree with some of you commenter’s…

ArchuD2, he’s like, so DULL!!1! He can only sing ballads and he’s Broadway and he’s NOT marketable, just like Clay Aiken who released a mid tempo song as his first single and went on to sell 2.8 million copies of his first album. He’s only 17 and sings old fashioned music on the show, just like Jordin Sparks who also released a mid tempo ballad as her first single and then went on to break the AI billboard hot 100 record. Twice. He’s so boring, bland and robotic, just like Carrie Underwood was! Whatever happened to her?

Because, you know, this is American Idol, and contestants who go against the grain like Bo Bice and Taylor Hicks are rewarded with platinum plaques, while contestants like Kelly, Clay, Carrie, Jordin and Chris produce derivative, heavily pop influenced music music that sucks up to the mainstream market fade into obscurity. Oh, wait…

AND people like Claymates and Grobanites like, totally don’t exist, and little David totally doesn’t have double the activity on his boards than any other contestants online. So who the HECK would buy his album??

After an odd season in terms of themes, tonight’s is one that has had potential to well, not be so bad. The remaining four contestants tackle songs from the rock ‘n roll hall of fame on this episode of ‘American Idol’ season 7.

Tiff: David Cook sang “Hungry Like the Wolf,” opening the show. He sped the song up a big and made it a little less “mellow rock.” I wasn’t crazy about what he did with the song actually, but it was a good performance. Not my favorite, but I liked it.

Kim: Out of 500 songs, why, why, WHY would he pick this?? This song is just too cheesy for him and it seemed like a forced fit. And he looked bored, appropriately, since he wasn’t the only one. Not a bad performance, just lacking spark.

This is SO late and that’s because I totally forgot to post it earlier! I’m not letting it go to waste though; better late than never, right? Actually, posting my Lost journal later isn’t completely a bad thing since there are so many things that you realize later (although Ive probably forgotten the things I notice right off the bat, darn).

Let me just say, that as a Skate shipper, I hated these flashbacks with the burning passion of 10,000 fiery suns.
