I thought I had the wrong station on... yikes... ready to rumble? The Davids don't look so evenly matched.. physically, at least. I'll scan the audience for our own Randi Naughton. Ryan calls them Big David (25) and Little David (17). Two men with one name and one desire. They go head to head for three rounds. The Davids take the stage..

David Archuleta won the coin toss and decided to go second. David Cook opens the show.. Clive Davis chose.. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For..for Cook.. He chose Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me.. for Archuleta..

Song one for David Cook. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. His energy level feels low so far but he's doing a great job with the song. Randy said it's a great way to start off the competition. Hot scoop at the end. Paula said you might not have found what you're looking for but we found David Cook. Simon said he looked very tense, emotional. He thought it was phenomenal.

David Archuleta -Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me - This song suits his voice. He's keeping his eyes open. Very nice. Better than Cook's first song. Randy said it doesn't matter what happens.. This is one of the best performances of the whole season.. Flawless and molten hot. Paula has chills up and down her arms. Simon said tonight's performance is the best he's done so far. (it was exceptional) Round one goes to Archuleta he said. I agree. It was spot on.

2nd - David Cook - new song - contestant choice - (I'm tired of the boxing reference) Dream Big - I can see this song on his CD. His lack of energy is still gnawing at me. Randy said the song was just ok for him. But he was singing his face off. Paula said a song in your heart and a guitar in your hand.. You can take a song that we don't know and fall in love with it. Simon said you made the most of what you had. This is supposed to be a winning song, this didn't seem like a winning moment.

David Archuleta - In This Moment - This song really showcases David's vocal range. Perfection. Randy said he wasn't crazy about the song, but was another hot performance. Paula said it was another heartfelt performance. Simon said he loved the egotistical lyric. You definitely chose the better song. Round 2 goes to David Archuleta. (this could be the kiss of death coming from Simon's lips) One song left... who's gonna be the next American Idol..

Contestant's choice now..

David Cook - The World I Know - I like the arrangement but I thought David would give it his all rocking out. He's very emotional now. Randy said you're showing the sensitive side of David Cook.. very nice job. Paula said you're standing in your truth? She stands and applauds him. Simon said you are one of the nicest, more sincere contestants that we had. But, it was completely and utterly the wrong song choice for you.

David Archuleta - Imagine - (he already sang this this season.. even though he did a great job.. wishing he would have chosen something different.) Loved the arrangement. He sang it with great sensitivity. Randy says he's the best singer of season 7. Paula said he left her speechless. He was stunning tonight. Simon said this show is about finding a star. In his opinion, David A came out to win and what they witnessed is a knockout.

Here's the thing... If we have to go by tonight's performances.. David A would have it, IMO. If I would judge on the season as a whole, I would chose David C. But, it's not up to me.

Who will be crowned our Season 7 American Idol tomorrow night? We ALL know David will win it. Which one do you think it will be?
