Once in awhile there is just something so awesome it must be discussed and distributed to the masses. I present to you, Pork and Beans by Weezer. If you go to the youtube page you can watch it in higher quality.

I’ve already watched this video at least ten times, went and got the song on iTunes and all that good stuff. I recognized a good portion of all those meme videos on youtube, but there are still a ton I don’t catch yet. So far I think there have been 24 actually recognized in it by various people. How many can you find?

Cook beats Archuleta by 12 million votes.

Did we see that coming? Even though the night before the judges tried to sway the audience into voting for Archie. Bad, bad judges. But at least Simon apologized to Cook before the winner was announced. Maybe he knew the results before hand and was trying to save face?

So what did you think of the show?

Can anyone say “Blast from the Past”? Does anyone even know who Donna Summers is (err was)? Seeing her being ‘helped’ down the stairs was a bit depressing. And Bryan Adams looks so old. Nothing like making us ‘old timers’ feel much older by putting them up there.

I have to admit I enjoyed Cook singing with ZZ Top. He seemed to fit right in with his raspy voice. And ZZ Top is from ‘my time’, so I could get into it. “Sharp Dressed Man” brought back some good memories. So that was the best part of the show for me.

The worst part (for me) was having to watch Jason Castro sing again. Funny, he sang by himself (they couldn’t find anyone to match up with him like they did with everyone else?) and I couldn’t find the link on YouTube. I guess I wasn’t the only one who didn’t care to see him again.

So David Cook is the New American Idol. I wonder how many people are happy with the outcome, and how many of you are disappointed. I liked both of the David’s, but I am glad Cook won. It could have gone either way for me and I would have been happy.

If you missed it, or would like to see it again, here are some links from YouTube. I think I got them all (except Jason’s).

Enjoy…and hopefully we will see you next year. (The song names link to videos.)

• David Archuleta and David Cook sang “Hero” together.

• David Archuleta sang “Apologize” with One Republic.

• David Cook sang “Sharp Dressed Man” with ZZ Top.

[ Edit: David Cook has won ]

Well, after weeks of auditions, trials and voting it has finally come down to the final two contestants. David Cook and David Archuleta have both come a long way since the start and are both extraordinary singers.

• Cook sang: “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” “Dream Big” and “The World I know”
• Archuleta sang: “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me,” “In This Moment” and “Imagine”

This is a very tough call and one very close matchup. They are both very deserving in their own rights to win the competition. Both of them have been strong from day one and never truly failed to impress on any songs they sang.

If I did however have to choose a winner, I’m going to have to say David Archuleta. Not because he is a better singer (however he did seem to have a stronger showing on the final night of singing), but it seems to me he has a bigger fanbase than Cook. He always seems to get the loudest cheers and most little girls screaming. I could be way off base though, but the impression I get is that Archuleta is going to win.

Either way I couldn’t be happier with the final two, whoever wins it doesn’t even matter; they’re both going to get picked up by record labels without a doubt.
