100 Million Votes ... for "Idol"

TMZ moles tell us last night's David vs. David karaoke-off received just shy of one hundred million votes.
Idol Finale
That's almost as many votes as were cast in the '04 election.

Screw Barack or Hillary, Archuleta for President!

46. I agree with poster #1. More people care about this show than the men and women fighting and dying in Iraq. Nothing wrong with TV in general, but people are just OBSESSED with this show, and it's the same old rehashed stuff every year. I used to like it but I stopped watching after the 3rd or 4th year because it's like being caught in a time loop. Same crap, new year.

47. DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHO WINS? IN THE HUGE SCHEME OF THINGS?? AFTER AI ANNOUNCES THAT DAVID, EITHER ONE, WINS, WILL IT CHANGE OUR LIVES? SO THEY BOTH MADE IT TO THE FINALS, THEY BOTH DID A GREAT JOB, THEY'LL DO OK MAKING MONEY FROM THE TOUR, A COUPLE OF CD'S AND HOW DOES THAT AFFECT ANY OF US? WE'LL WAKE UP TOMORROW, GO TO OUR MUNDANE JOBS, WATCH SOME MORE 'REALITY' SHOW ON TV AND SO IT GOES ON FOR EVERYONE. I WISH BOTH DAVIDS SUCCESS BUT WHICHEVER ONE WINS WON'T MAKE A DINGLE-DANG BIT OF DIFFERENCE IN MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE WORLD. YA'LL HAVE A SWELL DAY NOW, YA HEAR?

51. Ok, the judges have LOVED David Archuleta since day one and I think they proved it week after week when the MONCHICHI could do no wrong. (If you aren't sure what a monchichi is, look it up--David Archuleta looks just like one!) Let him win, let him make an album with nothing but ballads (because that's all he knows how to sing anyway) and we'll watch David Cook, Carly Smitson, and probably even Chikizi climb to the top of the charts. Aside from Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, the title "American Idol" seems to be cursed because where are all the rest of the winners?!?! Let David Cook do an album the way he wants to, just like Daugtry got to!! Ok, so I am a David Cook fan--but maybe it's better that he doesn't win tonight. Let little Archuletta have his moment--because he won't last!

54. I'm sorry - everyone is saying Cook, Cook. I'm sorry I thought he sucked last night. He was doing nothing than screaming and yelling at the top of his lungs. David Archuleta on the other hand - fanstatic on every song last night.

But, from what I am seeing - they are going to give it too Cook. Which is like the Rueben and Clay moment. Clay should of won. Better singer. And by the way - who is doing better. Aiken is a gold seeling reciording artist who's on Broadway now. What has Rueben done. I haven't heard anything - have you.

55. They both are talented, but I believe David Archuleta will win. He is genuinely a humble person and that is what makes him so amazing to watch. He is clearly the better singer that can evoke great emotion!!Very talented!

David Cook although talented, does not have the vocal chops like this kid and has problems with intonation. You can walk into any bar in America and hear David Cook singing.

I am soooo glad he's not like those Disney Channel snobs. Finally there's someone WORTHY on tv for the younger generation to watch. What is wrong with all the haters, Give this kid the appreciation and respect he clearly deserves.

56. DAVID COOK is FAR more talented than Eddie Munster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

57. Unless this whole competition is COOKED... then David Cook has it in the bag.... All the prediction sites have David Cook winning and the message boards are filled with fans that spent the night calling in votes after Simon dissed him... reverse psychology to assure DC the win??? The ONLY way DA wins is if AI throws all integrity down the toilet and falsifies the results.

FWIW, DA had the most amazing night... I thought he was awesome... but then again so was DC... but his was in a consistant manner while DA's came outta nowhere after losing momentum earlier in the season.

58. Archuleta=Creepy Mormon with abusive dad, you fail

59. David Cook is a wanna-be rocker with lousy pitch. He needs to go home, take a bath, shave and put on some decent clothes, then get a job AT THE NEAREST DIVE.

Posted at 5:46PM on May 21st 2008 by COOK..? BLAH!

60. What is it with you younger people? God forbid you have any admiration for someone with some values and humility these days. If it involves hard rock, sex, drugs, and anything else that is lousy in the world, you think it's cool. What kind of people are raising you? No wonder the world is so screwed up now. It revolves around crap. Cook has been getting more and more arrogant, and making snide remarks. Perhaps he knows he is going to lose...
