(Video) David Archuleta wins ‘American Idol’
May 21, 2008
Or so says acerbic judge Simon Cowell.
If it were up to Cowell, 17-year-old David Archuleta sealed his fate as the next American Idol after his “knockout” performance beat 25-year-old David Cook’s.
(UPDATE: Simon’s wrong. David Cook won American Idol!)
Of course, it’s the votes that still count so wait until tomorrow when the actual winner is announced.
In the finale of the top-rated show American Idol, David Archuleta and David Cook each performed three songs.
In the first round, David Cook sang U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” For his part, David Archuleta sang the Elton John anthem “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.” Both received equally stellar reviews but all the same, Cowell declared Archuleta the winner.
Ramiele Malubay booted out of American Idol
April 3, 2008
Bye-bye, Malubay.
Ramiele Malubay, the “small girl with the big voice,” became the latest casualty of American Idol Season 7, as the show trimmed the competition to eight hopefuls.
Twenty-year old Ramiele Malubay, of Miramar, Floida, sang Dolly Parton’s “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind” on Tuesday night’s show. Paula Abdul enjoyed the performance. Randy Jackson thought it was OK. But Simon Cowell — not so much.
“Overall I thought it was forgettable, and I think it was very reminiscent of something you would see and hear on a cruise ship,” Simon told Ramiele.
Watch a YouTube video of the elimination night (and Ramiele’s final performance) below.
