Just a year or two ago, a guy named Chris Daughtry was the rocker on American Idol. He was solid each week and a huge fan favorite.  But, Chris failed to make it into the top three!  Is David Cook headed the same direction?

Chris and David are similar in more ways than one.  They are both the rocker type and both have been praised over and over again on Idol.  Both are calm and cool and confident without showing it.  Both appear very personable and their voices distinct.  There are a lot of fans who who think that they can’t go wrong.  However, Chris found and early end to his American Idol career and David could be next.

If David Cook does go home, it’ll re-enforce the idea that a rocker can’t win American Idol.  Then again, who needs to win?

Chris Daughtry’s first album has been extremely successful selling more than 1 million copies after just 5 weeks of release!  He’s also the fourth most successful American Idol and he didn’t even make the top three.

If I were a betting man, I’d say that the 2008 finale of American Idol will be David vs David.  However, as the show proves over and over again, there is no way to know for sure.  We’ll all just have to wait and see.
