There's absolutely no contest.

I actually felt bad for Jason Castro tonight, having to follow David Cook's performance. Randy Jackson gave him a standing ovation, and they all - including Mariah Carey - say he's ready to go sell albums. Even if he doesn't win, because of 12-year-olds who don't get it, he's going to take over the world. He's got the looks, the vocal ability, distinction, and conviction. I can't watch him without getting chills. He's brilliant.
