You've seen Julie's post, right? Read that first...

Seems my esteemed colleague, Julie Heart, took it upon herself to post some celebrity look-alike matches for the top American Idol finalists. It was definitely entertaining, but I couldn't help but think there were a few matches the program overlooked.

I mean, just by looking at them, you can usually come up with a pretty good match or two...or five. Scroll down and see what your favorite Idol Expert came up with.

Let's have a little fun with our heroes, shall we?

Archie%20Clay.jpg
Golden Boy David "Archie" Archuleta bears more than a passing vocal resemblance to Clay Aiken...he might actually be Clay Aiken. Same musical style. Same sloppy, gawky, awkward look. Same old lady fanbase. Before long, they'll probably move into some kind of Adult Contemporary Batcave, together, living as celebrity millionaire and faithful ward.

Archie%20Lloyd.jpg
You have to admit, Archie gives off a Dumb & Dumber vibe whenever he speaks. Lloyd Christmas is an okay match...but the next one is pretty much my favorite...

Archie%20kdLang.jpg
David A = kd lang! Oh, quit whining about how "mean" that is. Just LOOK AT THEM! Totally the same person. He may be her tiny clone. Mini-lang, or something.

Carly%20Delta.jpg
Carly and Delta Burke are a match made in heaven...especially after Seacrest pointed out this week that the tabloids are chalking up her "extra weight" to pregnancy! Mrs. Smithson denied it, of course. The pregnancy part, that is. Not the chubbiness.

Castro%20Jimmy.jpg
Remember when Jimmy Fallon played that college stoner character? Yeah. Jason Castro's that guy.

Castro%20Travolta.jpg
But he's MORE this guy! Look at those baby blues! I think I've fallen in love with both of them. Can't...look away...too...adorable...AAAARG!

Chikezie%20Reuben.jpg
Chikezie reminds me of Reuben, both in looks and in song choice. Didn't make it quite as far in the competiton, though.

Chikezie%20WillSmith.jpg
I think he's got a bit of Big Willie Style going on, too. Gettin' 'Kezie with it!

DCook%20Bowie.jpg
I found a bunch of David Cook-type matches. I'll get meaner (and more accurate) as we go along. See that brooding look on Young Bowie's face? See that hair? Not too shabby.

DCook%20Wentz.jpg
This Pete Wentz tool is a perfect match for David Cook. Because they look similar, and are both complete tools.

DCook%20Hardy.jpg
Wrestler Jeff Hardy has 'tude to spare...and gets bonus points because he could beat the snot out of Cook. I'd watch that match!

DCook%20Tink.jpg
David Cook = Julia Roberts as "Tinkerbell" in Hook. Come on, you see it. But this LAST one is truly perfect in every way.

DCook%20Beetlejuice.jpg
I think he might actually BE Beetlejuice. It's uncanny. Feel free to make this your forum signature and post it elsewhere on the Internets. It's pretty much brilliant.

Johns%20Hulk.jpg
You wouldn't like Michael Johns when he's angry...and you probably wouldn't like Lou Ferrigno at all, in any situation.

LeeCook%20AmyP.jpg
Not the best match, but Amy Poehler would be really funny if she played KLC in American Idol Season 7: The Movie. A comedienne WOULD have to play Kristy, at this point. She's just laughable.

LeeCook%20Maria.jpg
Back to WWE, where we find Playboy covergirl Maria...not a bad match for our patriotic warbler.

LeeCook%20Gilbert.jpg
Sorry. Little Miss Little House IS Kristy Lee Cook. This one's perfect. The look is dead-on, and they both have experience with horses. I like this one.

Overmyer%20Candy.jpg
Now, let's have some fun. Biker-Nurse, you tortured me long enough. Hopefully, looking at you next to the chick from Strangers with Candy will cause you as much torment as listening to your voice every week caused me.

Overmyer%20Ginger.jpg
There's a bit of a Ginger Spice thing going. Not great, but you can see why I included it. The next two more than make up for it.

Overmyer%20Mickey.jpg
Amanda Overmyer is Monkee Mickey Dolenz? I'm a believer!

Overmyer%20Usula.jpg
Poor, unfortunate souls...if only Amanda had been able to steal someone's beautiful singing voice before showing up on Idol.

Syesha%20Match.jpg
Syesha totally looks like the bubbly, curly-haired chick from the morphing bit at the end of Michael Jackson's "Black or White" video. Spot-on.

White%20Phoebe%20Guitar.jpg
I've saved my favorite for last. Brooke White is Phoebe's soulmate. Slightly out-there, strumming her little guitar and singing songs about smelly cats, or whatever. A great match, but...

White%20Puppy.jpg
...I think she's just as adorable as a little puppy, no matter what.

And that is how this season's best play the Match Game.
