David Cook will definitely win American Idol. No doubt since the beginning I knew that he is the only one who has the star quality worthy of the American Idol status. This season the judges seem to have lowered their standards. I mean, look at Kristy Lee Cook. She can sing, yes. But she seem to have been hiding under Carrie Underwoods' profile. No originality at all. And Jason Castro? I love reggae. I love Bob Marley. But his voice is one sided. He's definitely cute and charming but hey this is a singing competition, as Simon would say. As for the runner up, people would definitely vote for David Archuleta. It will be a David to David showdown. But for me I like Syesha better than Archuleta. But Syesha have been a favorite in the bottom three and bottom two. I doubt she'll make it to the final two. But we can never tell. Who knows? If ever I get this wrong, I am still right that Cook is already a star. He hasn't even finished AI and he already has a number 1 hit song! We'll see in two weeks.

My Favorite Soundtrack
I am not much of a Beatles fan until I met my husband Lay. He influenced me into listening to great music of all genre. He has excellent ears for good music. When we watched "I Am Sam" I immediately noticed that the soundtrack were Beatles music revived and reinvented. I like the original songs but the modern versions are also good. I got excited when I also heard the same songs in our official Starbucks playlist.
