Just Hand Over the American Idol Title to David Cook, Already!

Cook Will Shine in Next Few Weeks, Archuleta Will Finish Second

David Cook has mesmerized fans with his unreal performances in the past several weeks. When everyone else seemed to struggle, Cook continued to shine. His consistency to be the best performer on a given night will help him earn the title of "American Idol" this season.

Only David Archuleta will be able to stop the freight train that is Cook at this moment in time. He has been a close second all season to whoever has been hot. But there's just something missing when it comes to originality, even though he sings quite perfectly.

What to expect for this coming week on "American Idol"?

The top 4 will channel their inner rock stars according to the official website Americanidol.com. One thing screams out at me. Syesha Mercado will most likely get weeded out from the mix. Look for her to struggle rocking. Her voice has been incredible the past few weeks after landing in the bottom two or three several times. But this could be her final week. Jason Castro has struggled but it's still a popularity contest right now and that means his smile will win viewers votes over at least one more week. If he struggles again this week, he could go home instead. He seems to have a way of finding the back door to staying alive in the competition despite being the lesser of the talented singers. I think given the category this week that he will survive one more week.

Then Cook and Archuleta will outperform Castro when it gets down to the following three. Cook has been incredible and it's hard to tell what the future will hold and what song choices will be made. One thing is absolutely for sure. Cook will be the best this week. There is no way anyone can outperform him in this category. It's like giving a professional baseball player a bat on "baseball night" and throwing three other fans in the mix.
