The contestants have been narrowed down and the fans have spoken. After emotional eliminations like that of Syesha Mercado and Jason Castro, there are two left standing: the bad boy rocker, David Cook, and the heartthrob ballad crooner, David Archuleta. The two Davids are total opposites, each with a legion of fans ready to defend them. So who who has what it takes to become the next American Idol? Tune in Wednesday to find out, and don't forget to check back right here for our exclusive Kiwibox coverage of the season finale.

In meantime, here are some of this season's most memorable Idol performances to get you amped up for Wednesday's big showdown.

David Archuleta - "When You Believe"

Any guy that can belt out a Mariah Carey song is going to be popular with the ladies, and David Archuleta has the boyish good looks to boot.

Cookie deserved to win!! But I really thought Archie would. Cookie
is a better perfomer and more versatile, and not to mention, old
enough for me to drool over. I wanna adopt Archie, but I doubt I
would pay to see him perform. Cookie, on the other hand, has it
ALL and I will go see him!!
i knew he would win Archuleta ha been cooked!!!
I am so happy for him and so proud of him. He's achieved something
great and I know we can all expect great things to come from him.
He's an amazing artist, beautiful voice and quite easy on the
eyes. He was my pick the first time I saw him perform and from the
minute he sang "Eleanor Rigby" I knew he'd make it all the way.
DC's Word Nerds did it! Go DC!
I thought Archuleta was really going to win this. However I know
Cook is gonna do well than him. Alas, Cook won so it's all good!
I am so happy David Cook won! I don't think David Archuleta even
had what it took to make past the Final 5 or so. Carly was my
favorite, and her singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" had to have
been one of the best performances of the season.
well whaddya know TEAM DAVID COOK WINS!!!!!!! heck yes!
heck yes!
heck yes!!!!!

Both Davids rather sucked in these clips. I don't like either of
them.
DialIdol.com predicts DAVID COOK TO BE THE WINNER!
It's been up since season 4,and has always predicted the finale
winner correctly!!!!!! TEAM DAVID COOK!
I personally can't stand David Archuleta. He always sings slow
songs, he never takes risks, his dad helped him with everything,
and he looks like a panda. Not good.
However, David Cook has been my favorite from the very beginning.
He's got a phenominal voice, I love his ability to take risks,
he's got a great personality, I love the style of music he sings,
and he's pretty cute. All good. LOL
Sadly, I think that Archuleta's gonna win. I think more little
screaming girls follow him and obsessively vote for him then Cook,
but Cook has more talent. I want him to win!!!! But hopefully, if
Archuleta wins, then misskissy14 is right - I hope Cook ends up
being more successful. He's got great things ahead no matter what.
I really want Cook to win, I think he really deserves it. He
actually took risks.
I have a sick feeling Archuleta will win though...He really never
took any risks, and he really bores me.
I'm really not sure if it's true or not,
but I heard that David A. Get alot of help with choosing his songs
and the arangment, and David C. does it all himself, and doesn't
seek any help. That's more of a true American Idol to me.
But if you look back, more times the person who comes in second
does better then the person who wins.
I hope Cook wins! XD
i absolutely LOVE both davids. i didnt even vote last night cause
i didnt know who to vote for. they both had AMAZING first and last
songs. second songs, were pretty good, but not as good.

Archuleta..this boy is amazing. i would seriously marry him. hes
so cute, and i would let him sing me to sleep every night. he's
got a sweet, innocent voice; like an angel. literally, if an angel
could sing, it would sound like David Archuleta.

Cook..wow, talk about SEXY. and talented, for sure. he's a
performer, and not in a bad way like simon would say. he's amazing
with the singing/guitar thing he's got going on. he's original and
real, and i just love his not-so-typical singing voice.

hahaha, i know im going to cry when one of them wins. because one
will have win, but the other will have lost! :]
Cook for sure.
I think that David Arcyhuleta will win it all.He is my favorite!
He has a great voice for his age.
Yahhh.. i thnk archuleta is gonna win.. cuz well hes hot nd a
great singerr...
TEAM DAVID COOOOOOOOOOOOOK!
either David will do... they bring different things to the table,
and both have talent. Honestly I just wish Carly had made it to
the finals, that girl had mad talent.

David A. has one of the most pleasant voices I've heard (he can
seriously sing anything and make it sound good) and David C.
sounds great and is very talented with music arrangements and
being original.
oh he better! Cook is my American Idol no matter what Wednesday's
finale brings!
cook cook cook coook cook cook he will win lol yeahhhhh
