Tears, twirls, laughs, jumps, cheers, twists and flowing moments pretty much sum up this season of “Dancing with the Stars.”
The musical/dance guest for tonight’s (May 20) show is Usher… dancing and sining something that combined hip-hop, R & B and river Dance into one number. Loved the song.
Without too much delay - the first couple to go is revealed. Taking home third place this season of “Dancing with the Stars” is…
Cristian De La Fuente & Cheryl Burke
Other than finding out who the winner of this season will be, another highlight for me was the announcement of the winner of the kids’ ballroom competition. Brandon and Brittany were awarded the Mirror Ball as Jr. Champions of “Dancing with the Stars” by the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
By this point in the season, the last thing most of us want to see is a two-recap of the season past… Someday, when I own a network, I can make those changes… until then, recaps.
Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas -

Only one David left standing after “American Idol” battle. Latest Update Finale
Perhaps not the battle of the century as billed by the announcer, but tonight’s battle between the two Davids is sure to epic.
As the show kicks off… the producers seemed to feel it necessary to take this whole battle thing way too far! I’m ready David’s going to whomp David right? At least the opening was a little different.
Guided by Clive Davis and Andrew Lloyd Weber the final two are set to duel.
Round One:
David Cook
Tonight’s songs - “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking for.”
My Take - Nice job… He seemed a little flat here and there… Certainly a song that suits his style.
Randy - “DC - great way to start off this duel. It was hot baby. ”
Paula - ” We have found David Cook. David Cook has arrived. ”
Simon -” You looked very tense, very emotional… taking all of that together, I thought I was phenomenal “
David Archuleta
Tonight’s songs - “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.”
My Take - A predictable song choice for him. I was ready to give round one to David Cook… but I have to say I think round one should go to Archuleta.
Randy - “It doesn’t matter what happens… you picked the right time to peak baby. That was flawless… unbelievably molten hot. ”
Paula - ” I’ve got chill running down my arms. David that was a beautiful sunny performance. ”
Simon -” I though last week you were okay. I thought tonight’s performance was the best you’ve done so far. “
Round Two:
David Cook
Tonight’s songs - “Dream Big”
My Take - Ah.. the guitar is back… Nice Job of bringing back a song and making it sound like new.
Randy - “What made it really work… is you hit the notes. ”
Paula - ” Song in your heart, a guitar in your hands and we millions are mesmerized by you. ”
Simon -” It was a bit of a lightweight. It didn’t feel like a winning moment for me. “
David Archuleta
Tonight’s songs - ” In This Moment”
My Take - This kid’s got some range… even if you wouldn’t buy his records. That was nearly flawless.
Randy - “I wasn’t crazy about about the song… but right now you could sing the phone book and it would be good. ”
Paula - ” It was just another heartfelt performance. ”
Simon -” I love the egotistical lyrics. You definetly choose the better song. Round Two Archuleta. “
Round Three: Contestants’ Choice
David Cook
Tonight’s songs - “The World I Know”
My Take - David did a great job of making this song fresh… but was it enough… it seems the little David might have the edge and be the next American Idol. Without a doubt - commercial
Randy - “One of the cool things about you. Very nice job. ”
Paula - ” You are standing in your truth… I applaud you David Cook. ”
Simon -“You are one of the nicest most sincere contestants we have had. It was completely and utterly the wrong song choice for the night. “
David Archuleta
Tonight’s songs - “Imagine”
My Take - What a great song choice to end the competition for this little wonder. Based on the three performances you’d have to give the night to Archuleta! Amazing.
Randy - “Dude you are so good tonight. You are exactly what this show is about. ”
Paula - “It’s the culmination. You were stunning tonight. ”
Simon -“At the end of the day, this show is about finding a star. And, tonight, I think we’ve witnessed one of the great finals. You came out here tonight to win and what we’ve witnessed is a knock-out “
So, after three rounds, the next American Idol is likely to be David Archuleta.

It seems pretty safe to say that if the readers of this blog had anything to do with selecting the next American Idol, it most likely wouldn’t be David Archuleta.

Not sure I agree with those thoughts, but I do see where their point of view.
