It’s so sad to hear about Luke. I have a cousin battling Neuroblastoma (a very rare form a childhood cancer) he was diagnosed at 6 months and it now 4 years old and still fighting…he has his good days and bad days. But it reminds one just how precious life is. We get so caught up in the day to day tasks of life, that we forget how vulnerable we all are. Wishing Luke all the best and hopefully he will make a full recovery! No doubt he has great support from his family!

On a much happier note….now time for the finale…off to go watch it!

Don’t really know what to say….so sad! Your right, MCL, it does make everything else seem so trivial! I have a little cousin battling Neuroblastoma (a very rare form of childhood cancer); he was diagnosed at 6 months and is now 4 years old and is still fighting the fight..he has his good and bad days. But it does make me appreciate just how precious life is! We can get so caught up in our day to day tasks and busy lives, that we can forget that we are only human and can be so vulnerable. I wish Luke all the best and hope that he will recover.

On another note…only 30 minutes to the grande finale…so off I go to get ready!

For a little perspective:

Oh my, I feel so bad for Luke Menard. To think that he was truly ill when he appeared in the Top 24 showcase.

I am so happy that this form of cancer is treatable. This kind of heartbreaking news makes everything that is happening today and tomorrow seem so trivial in the grand scheme of things, doesn’t it?

kathylmh…I will also be pulling with all my might for David Archuleta tonight. I wish both the David’s good luck. Enjoy.

(And after all, if they just want to sign artists they want, they don’t need a television series, they could just offer them contracts…)

No MCL, it is not asking too much! All I want is for DC and DA to give top notch performances with all the talent they have. This should be a GOOD evening for all (I hope)!

Of all the songs to choose from, I am wondering why David A would pick “Here I Am”. They lyrics are very cheesy. David Cook trumped him on this one…..sorry David A fans!
Now as for Clive’s choice for David A: Come on! Can he have picked a cheesier song? Give this kid some John Mayer or something more modern. I loved when he sang “World To Change” in auditions. This was an unfair song to give David A.
And as for David A singing Imagine, I am not surprised. As lovely as this performance was, however, it is not a smart choice. I personally think that Billie Jean was way more memorable and the media talked about it for days, so he would be competing against that one for the best performance of the season. The other point is this: David Cook is apparently singing something NEW, proving once again that he takes risks and likes to challenge himself as an artist. Compare this to David A who has gone with the safe choice, a reprisal.

That said, the 2 Davids were at the top of my list this year as favourites. I think David Cook deserves to win, but I also like David A and wish him the best. Judging by rumours, I think he’ll be fine because the talk is that both are getting signed.

And yes MCL, thank you for pointing out that David Cook had to fight to be where he is, as did David A.

Good luck to both of the Davids tonight!

Hey, speaking of which, maybe Elton is on the show tomorrow per Clive Davis’ announcement that the biggest star in the world would be on the Finale.

Someone emailed me the Coronation songs and that person is pretty reliable. I will delete it if not.

I don’t know where this person is getting the info.and I didn’t ask. So, mum’s the word!

Did you read the stuff at the link I posted?
