The final battle in American Idol Season 7 between top 2 finalists David Cook and David Archuleta has started. Here’s a rundown of what happened in this season’s finale:

David Cook

Round 1: I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

Randy: It was hot baby
Paula: David Cook has arrived. Amen in your great voice tonight
Simon: It was phenomenal!

Round 2: Dream Big

Randy: The song was ok but what made it really work is your voice.
Paula: We are mesmerized by you.
Simon: This is supposed to be a winning song but it didn’t feel like a winning moment for me.

Round 3: The World I Know

Randy: Very nice job!
Paula: You’re delivering unbelievable songs with integrity and originality and I applaud you David Cook!
Simon: You are the nicest and most sincere contestant we’ve had. It was a beautiful song but it was a wrong choice for you. You should’ve sang “Billie Jean” or “Hello”.
