I understand completely where you are coming from - this was not an epsiode which would let you fall in love with Coo.

I know that Cook didn't shine like he had in the past but he could only pick one song. The first was from Nigel and the second was the contest winner - only the third was his choice and I thought it was terrific.

I guess it is also because I am not a fan of the types of songs that Archie performed - though i loved imagine the first time he sang it. I think the kid is terrific and really no matter who wins they will both have careers. it just seemed weird to me that Simon who had been saying all season (in one way or another) I want Cook to win suddenly threw the night to Archie and barely had a nice thing to say to Cook.

I wondered if he didn't do it on purpose to get the Cook fans dialing
