Anyhow, turns out Simon's actually pimping Cookie, not Archie:
Who do you think deserves to win this season? we asked Simon. "Probably David Cook," he drawled. "I think he's done more to deserve it over the eleven weeks. He's taken more risks, he's done things with certain songs that have been more interesting. If I'm gonna base it on who has done the best performances over the live shows, David Cook deserves to win."
Awkward.

I guess I'm curious what about his statement is false? Hasn't Cookie taken the most risks? changed up his songs the most? and been the most dynamic performer all season? yes, I think he has. I think anyone who isn't an archietard will admit that David Cook has been the most exciting contestant this season (and perhaps for the last 6 season). David Cook does deserve to win if it's based solely on performances from week to week and which one is ready to actually be an artist in their own right, separate and apart from the Idol machine.
