Davids Invade Philippines

You maybe know very well who's on the photos above? Yeah. They're David Archuleta (left) and David Cook (right), also known as the Final Two Davids in the seventh installment of American Idol. It's been a year since Cook won the famous singing competition, and Archuleta left as a runner-up, I can still clearly remember how they had been loved by America and the whole world since Idol weeks. But the craze between these two talented guys has only just to take off.

Filipino solid fans were very lucky for having the two sensations combined to perform here in our country. I'm talking about first time here. Archuleta and Cook are newbies in the Philippines; their back-to-back concert is also their first concert outside US, so having them was like winning a jackpot prize in a Math competition.

Seriously, I haven't seen such an overwhelming welcome for a music artist like that of Davids. I mean, their media appearances were all over the place - lots of guestings, interviews, mall tours, and press conference before the big day. Their names have been currently the most talked about around the country. It's too fast like an epidemia, but in a good way.

Every time I tuned in the radio to Magic 89.9, they are giving away 2 to 3 free tickets for the concert. And I have noticed that thousands were trying so hard to pick up the phone and start racing the call with other fans just for the tickets. If you visit Magic's Facebook account, lots of fans were posting on their wall, and pleading to give them tickets too. I even tried my luck by joining to their game online. Well, it's just only a matter of finding hidden photos of Archuleta and Cook around their site. I just lose my patience after all, and decided to give up.

Archuleta has more fans than Cook, I've already weigh them. I'm a big fan of Cook, but I don't want to be bias. The two are maybe the most loved Idols by the Filipinos in this generation. And maybe, their concert is the most sought-after and biggest this year. Unfortunately, I wasn't been able to watch them live, but I'm contented of their highest appreciation to their very generous Filipino fans.
