American Idol is known for producing (or at least choosing as winners) pop singers over rock. And I do think Little David is talented, but I can&#8217;t imagine buying his debut CD. I&#8217;m past the age where I want to listen to ballad after ballad. Had enough of that with Barry Manilow and Elton John (now I&#8217;m aging myself, LOL).<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">My take on last night&#8217;s finale\u2014I loved both their first performances. For the second song, I was thrilled that the producers didn&#8217;t make them sing the same song from the finale-song contest. I know the judges thought Little David killed it with his performance, but I was groovin&#8217; on DC&#8217;s tune. The last round, I loved that David Cook didn&#8217;t do a repeat of an earlier performance, even though I did love his rendition of Billy Jean. I think Little David&#8217;s version of Imagine is beautiful, but I bore easily, and I would have rather he sung a song I hadn&#8217;t heard him sing before.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">That&#8217;s my take, anyway.
