David Archuleta Heads American Idol's Final 5 Rankings

The Scotsman Ranking of the American Idol Finalists

This season has been a very exciting season for American Idol in my opinion. We have seen some great performances and well...some not so great performances! The remaining contestants competing for the highly esteemed title of the "American Idol" are all, in my opinion, worthy of being there. They have sacrificed their time, families, friends and lives to pursue a dream of performing for audiences worldwide. They have proves their abilities and capabilities time and time again!

So, that gets us down to top 5 remaining contestants of the group.

The Scotsman ranking of the top 5 are (drum roll):

David Archuleta - This young man continues to come out time and time again pouring his heart and soul into anything and everything he sings! He is such a great performer, singer, and such a likeable young man! He has a reputation for being humble... likeable ...a great performer...an amazing vocalist...and gives the appearance of already being a seasoned performer. I believe that David Archuleta was made for this line of work and entertainment. I believe he will be and should be the next American Idol.

David Cook - David Cook has some amazing vocal capabilities and comes out on stage with a comfort and confidence that many of the contestants do not have. Over the past few weeks, I think his fame and impact he is having on the country, in addition to dealing with personal family issues has brought a greater degree of humility and maturity to Mr. Cook. I truly enjoy watching and listening to his performances and look forward to hearing much more in the future! I think it will be a very, very close race between David A. and David C. I wish them both the best and know they will shine no matter where they place.
