The Davids Speak Out on the 'American Idol' Finale

 
David Cook and David Archuleta vie for the title of "American Idol" tonight! It's DAVID COOK vs. DAVID ARCHULETA when the "American Idol" finale takes place tonight -- live from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, airing at 8 p.m. on FOX. This will be the first time the two Davids sing on the Nokia stage, so how do they think it's going to affect their performances? “You know, it’s interesting," Cook comments. "I've always been really kind of confused by the idea, like the smaller the crowd for me, the more nervous I tend to get. Having the Nokia full, should be great. But you know, win or lose; I think we both win, so for me now, it’s just kind of enjoying the moment." Archuleta chimes in, “I don't think it'll be too different because the audience is still going to be big on the other side of the camera, watching on TV, so while there's more people live … I don't know. I guess I'll have to see once I go and rehearse and stuff." [link]
