I really can't wait for tonight. This is a great match up because they couldn't be more different and they are both very very deserving.

The only bummer is that we could have done this finally on week 2! We all knew they were the top two back then so no surprises this year.

I think they both have a great chance. David A. has the younger girls and the Grandma scene sewed up while David C. has the rocker scene, the women over 14 and most guys but will that scene vote as much and as quickly as the very text friendly and phone crazy tweens?! Who knows! That's why it is so much fun right?

But can a male Idol actually be a superstar? Both previous male winners have recently been dropped by their record labels. Both Ruben and Taylor! Rubens debut album did better than Taylors and yes Taylors debut did go gold but neither could keep the ball rolling. Ruben only sold about 230,000 copies of his last release and that was enough in this day and age for the record company to say goodbye.

Of the two I think David C. could sell more albums. David A. might have luck in the short term - like Clay Aiken - but I don't see a long term success in the same way that Cook might be able to achieve. Daughtry is a good example of what I mean.

But that said there are a lot of fans for both so who knows!

What do you think?!

You and Nicole or Kim should enter the competition as a duet next year. I'd definitely pay to see it!

I hope that David A wins. I like them both.

I was pulling for Archuleta, but not upset that Cook took it in the end.

Rob is an AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist and also holds the National Weather Association Seal of Approval as well as the Endorsement of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. =========================
A long, long, time ago in a farmers field far, far away, Rob noticed a change in the wind and became fascinated with the weather. Why you ask? (Pause for you to say "why?") Well, it was at that moment he realized he was downwind of the manure pile on the turkey farm where he grew up! After that he watched the weather very carefully in an effort to save his sense of smell! Okay, that's not entirely true but I did grow up on a turkey farm and I have been fascinated with weather and broadcasting for quite some time. I began my career in radio before making the jump to TV. I worked on Good Morning Toronto. After that, I decided to pursue my dream of living and working in the U.S. and joined Wake Up Rochester in Rochester NY. I spent three years in "Bills Country" before coming to my senses and moving to "Packer-Town!" (GO PACK!) I also spent some time trying to make it big as a comic actor and studied the art of improvisation at Toronto's Second City Theatre with teachers like SCTV's Joe Flaherty! I moved here with my beautiful wife, Tanya, who's the real comedian in the family, my son Noah, who's giving my wife a run for the title of funniest Haswell and my daughter Nyla who is the cutest 2 feet of human being you could ever meet! We're very excited to be living in the great city of Milwaukee and we're looking forward to learning all there is to know about Wisconsin! By the way, where do you buy those cheesehead hats anyway?
