Last night, millions of viewers tuned in to the season 7 finale of American Idol. The David versus David finale might have left the viewers and fans divided, but according to Simon Cowell, it was a knock out for David Archuleta. Ninety-five percent of the time, I agree with Cowell. However, this time, I think he is wrong. If it's song choice, I still think that both Davids made the right song choices.
