Mercado Facing Huge Uphill Battle To Survive

Copyright PR Photos If American idol would have revealed who has been the top two vote getter's every week, there is a good chance that David Archuleta and David Cook would be 1-2 every week.
The order might not always be the same, but the two David's have had their way with the competition so far. Now they just need to see Syesha Mercado to the door, and they will face off in a much anticipated finale.
Mercado has some major work to do if she is going to crack through and eliminate one of the guys. It will take two brilliant
Archuleta and Cook have been nearly flawless for much of the live shows. Archuleta stumbled early during one of the Beatles weeks by forgetting the lyrics. since then, he has received high praise from the judges.
This past week, all three of the performers that are left sang well. With only one week left until the finals, the perspectives of the three contestants will be much different. Archuleta and Cook will just be trying to hold serve, while Mercado will be looking to pull a major upset.

I believe that the most consistent singer in this competition has been David Archuleta. I recall David Cook's many performances that the judges did not like, so we can't say he has been consistent (maybe consistent in changing his songs around to accomodate the shouting routine he has at every performance. Syesha has come a long way. Don't count her out. I see David Archuleta and Syesha in the finale. (and I am no teen either). With David Cook's previous lengthy experience from the bands he has been part of and the CD he produced, I expected better perfomances that he has given us. The top two that deserve to be in the finale are David Archuleta and Syesha.

If you notice, everyone seems to think that David Cook is screaming. Said the same thing about Carly Smithson. It's the way it sounds on your television. If you download their performances onto your iPod, they sound magnificent. I've purchased every studio version of David Cook's and Carly Smithson's. She is absolutely the most beautiful singer. It's sad she got voted off. David Cook has an incredible range in his voice. David Cook will definitely be a winner even if he gets voted off. I'm not sure how many hit singles David A will sell. Unless he sings some pops songs and not Wayne Newton ballads, the little girls will not buy.
