After last nights ‘knockout’ performance by Archuleta it will be interesting to see updated Google Trends data.
I just pulled the info and it still looks the same as the chart above.
Not sure how often google updates that info.
I can say this – I just bet ya that Google is wrong based on last night.

I saw Simon on Leno last night, too. In fact, I think it was around the time I was writing this post I think you’re right about the paths that each David will likely take, regardless of who wins. I’m pulling for Archie because of the hometown connection, but I secretly like Cook better.

Simon went on Leno last night and said he thinks it will be Cook. My wife made an interesting comment as well about how Archuleta is more of a Broadway singer and not so much a pop idol. Either way, both will have nice singing careers. But if Archuleta wins, the bets from the Page house are that Cook will still become more famous in the pop/radio scene and follow the Kelly Clarkson road and Archuleta will follow the Clay Aiken road.
