Both were Goliaths

I admit it -- I love American Idol. Most of the reality shows I pass by (heck, most TV I willingly brush off) but AI is something that I look forward to.

This season was very good. The try-outs were predictably boring -- they follow too many contestants who aren't particularly good OR particularly interesting -- but the top 10 cast was one of the strongest ever. I was a little vexed about Michael Johns, who seemingly should have been one of the favories to win; he just never could muster enough passion unless he was singing a Queen song. Carly was from the same mold.

Both Davids were excellent. Congratulations for making the finals -- and here's to David Cook -- Amercian Idol #7!

Regards,
Trond
