"American Idol" 2008 winner David Cook, left, and runner-up David Archuleta wave during a press conference Thursday, May 14, 2009 in Manila's Pasig city, Philippines. Cook and Archuleta will perform a concert on Saturday.
It's only two more days before the epic "David and David" concert takes place in the Philippines. Both David Cook and David Archuleta have been there since Tuesday, keeping busy with lots of press and promotional appearances.
Here's one account of their press conference today: "Many are crossing their fingers if the two Davids can equal, if not surpass, the Goliath-like audience turnout -- around 100,000 -- of the Eraserheads Live! Reunion Concert in March 7 this year. ... The well-attended press con in a five-star hotel in Mandaluyong City was supposed to be held in a smaller function room but it was transferred to a bigger ballroom only a few hours before the said event so as to accommodate more requests for coverage."
