I predict that David will win!

I have some song spoilers, thanks to MJ’s Big Blog.

[spoiler]# Personal song choices have leaked: David Archuleta will reprise “Imagine” per Nigel Lythgoe Thursday on Ryan Seacrest’s KISS morning show. David Cook will sing a new song, U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”, per a report on FOX news. Cookie is the first Idol to get a U2 song cleared for competition.

# The Davids picked their own coronation song from the 10 most popular songs in the list of 20 that were available for online voting, per Nigel. How’s that for a twist? We don’t know which song either contestant has chosen yet.

# Clive Davis chose a song for the Davids. There are rumors swirling about, but there are no clear choices yet.[/spoiler]

I really like Spoiler #2. Maybe it’ll suck a bit less this year because of that.
