David Cook deserves to win, based on his talent. Not only can he do karaoke better than anyone this season, but he also has the talent to pick arrangements that make the songs he is singing sound like his own. His version of Lionel Richie's "Hello" (which I believe was originally done by some grunge rocker-type) still causes goose bumps.
But Archuleta Has this one hands-down. The aw-shucks little boy has made little girls and grandmothers swoon since day one with his innocent boy-band face and adequate voice, although they all seem to overlook the fact that he has one move and one move only when he is singing (somebody should remove that stick from his butt...really!).
Archuleta's win could be the best thing that could happen to David Cook, since he is the artist who has the legs to last (especially if he can write music as well as he interprets other people's songs), and the contestant who comes in second place in "Idol" seems to have traditionally had the longer-lasting career.
