Archuleta will win

If you care about “American Idol” finalist David Archuleta, please vote for David Cook.

The dueling Davids face off tonight at 8 on WFXT (Ch. 25) for the championship of the No. 1 show on network TV.

It’s the Kewpie doll vs. the scruffy rocker.

It also appears to involve a frightened boy overwhelmed by the demands of an overbearing stage father and in way over his head.

When “Idol” narrowed the field to 12, it was easy to peg Archuleta as the ultimate victor. He has a pleasant voice and appears cut from the same nonthreatening pinup material that “Idol” viewers go nuts for. (Remember Sanjaya?)

Even before reports surfaced of musician father Jeff’s browbeating over the years, savvy viewers were worried.

Although he is 17 - the same age as Jordin Sparks when she won last year - he carries himself as if he’s years younger.
