Just listened to David Cook's "I'm Alive" studio version.

His voice is more relaxed at the beginning. I still think this guy comes across as a 'one-trick pony', which happens to be my gripe about the other two guys as well. Cook probably has the greatest capacity to overcome that - see "music of the night"- but he continually chooses not to do so. He had the perfect opportunity to do something different with 'AIRNIY' and went for the voice grinding rock version again.

"I'm Alive" was probably the best performance of the night but it ended up being overshadowed by style when he did the same style for the second song. If Cook continues to do the constipated rocker thing, and Archuletta continues to do the smarmy cute kid telle tubbie thing, and Jason continues to do his laid back stoner with a guitar thing- Syesha need only continue to act the part of each song (stunning advice from ALW, btw, as to how it has transformed her) and she is poised now to win it all.
