This season on American Idol I predicted a lot of things. Like a lot of people, I predicted that the finale would leave the two Davids — rocker David Cook and singing sensation David Archuleta.

I also predict David Cook will be the next American Idol, though you never know. It really depends on whether America voted. David Archuleta is a great singer and deserves to have his music heard. I just don’t think he’s “it’ this year. David Cook just has it all — and his music has already proved popular with iTune® sales. He IS a rocker.

Syesha Mercado has had a great run on American Idol and honestly went a lot further than I imagined. Though I have warmed to her beautiful voice and personality, I would have preferred Michael Johns to be in the final three.

I think I cried throughout the Tuesday show watching as the contestants became floored when they returned to their hometowns to overwhelming support from their fans.

It was touching to see Archuleta and Mercado break down upon seeing their fans come out. I think I evens saw Cook break down for a brief second or two.

I’m glad to see these very deserving individuals see their dreams come true.
