Of the two, I'd be more likely to buy a Cook album over an Archuletta album. Cook is more likely to get airplay on the top 40 radio when he releases stuff, given today's market of Nickelback, Daughtry and others.

David A's style falls into that of a Josh Grobin type - and if I want that I'll go for Grobin who is more seasoned and experienced. I think, though, what will happen is 19E will try to package him off to the youth/Radio Disney market (one that have not tapped into yet with any Idol winners or contestants) and it will fail miserably. His pocket is the ballad and teen girls will get bored with nothing but ballads all the time.

In any case, I'm just taping tonight's two hour show. I'll turn on a TV at 9:45pm to see who wins live but watch the rest on the DVR tomorrow or so when I can fast forward through all the dreck and foolishness.
