David Cook Wins American Idol 7 in 2008!

Apparently American can think on it’s own. In what any viewer would call a major upset, David Cook, the rocker, beat David Archuleta in the final round on Idol. Simon Cowell apologized for his comments last night after the final performance. He said Cook had done much better than his review indicated. And Simon, Paula and Randy all got it wrong. The rocker beat the kid by 12,000,000 votes.

The show could not have sucked more. The final 12 were fine in their numbers but the guest stars seemed totally out of place. David Cook with Z.Z. Top was fine, but much of the duets and guests just bit the big one. Brian Adams, what were you thinking? Carrie Underwood was the only previous winner to be on top of her game. Ruben watched from the crowd. Kelly, Taylor and Fantasia were not to be seen. Jordin Sparks should have sat with Ruben. Awful. Graham Nash is way too old for this demographic and is one of my favorite artists. But Graham, American Idol? Gladys Knight should have sued for what was done to her. I know she was part of it, but come on. At least they got over the even stupider biy the night before with all that “prizer fighting” shit.

And Simon’s “knockout” line for Archuleta is even funnier now!

Bottom line, it was the first time I felt America got it right. David Cook. Long may he rock.

My Mom, and well…actually I guess a lot of people are watching American Idol this year. But, I’m going to have to risk revealing my uncoolness and admit I haven’t watched it at all. I know, I know…it’s bad. I liked it when I did watch it one year, but I haven’t start watching it this year and now it’s too late…

Anyway, I stopped to let you know that I nominated you for the Arte y Pico Award. I’m working on the post right this minute, so the post isn’t up yet, but it will be in the morning~ So congrats, you deserve it`

Cheers~ Ann

Thank you, Ann. I am honored!

Taylor was not seen all season while they did have baldy and the screecher on during other episodes…

It appears they have divorced themselves from him…

I thought we got it right that year too..but we disagree…

Carrie was superb last night…Cook with ZZ rocked

Vin-

I only saw Taylor in one clip this year. They do seem to have a problem staying on good terms with previous winners…

Looks like most everyone is happy about this win. He does have a great voice.

I have a challenge for you…

Have a great day. 🙂

You did call it from the beginning. So glad he won.

Sandee-

See you did it! I will join!

Mims-

I didn’t call it. I rooted for Cook but predicted Archuleta. I’m glad I was wrong!

Sandee & Mimi-

I still freeze trying to post tyhe meme. I will try again later…

I’m not a fan of American Idol but I do know if you like a contestant you NEVER want them to win. It’s like a death sentence on their career. If you want them to have a shot at a decent career you root for them to be in the top ten atleast, then voted off. Very wierd.

Amber-

That sounds a tad supersticious. That just is not my way. I don’t believe ever “things are meant to be” or winning or losing Idol will effect a carreer. It seems they top ten have a lot of sucess stories every year…

Bud – Code in your mailbox. I hope it works this time. You weren’t the only one having problems with this today. I hope I’ve fixed the problem now. And thank you very much.

And yes, I do think they should bring back previous contestants more. I would love to hear the female rocker (with the striped hair, remember?) who looked like Elvis reincarnated….sing again.
And Katherine McPhee, etc.
David Cook, however, is the real deal. Reminiscent of Daughtery’s spirit and rock style.

‘Nuff showbiz. Back to code now…

Amanda and I used to watch AI together but we lost interest somewhere in the middle of last season and neither one of us watched an entire show at all this go-round. If it weren’t for Travis’ blog, I’d probably know virtually nothing about it at all! He was pushing for David Cook right from the get-go and I can see why – I think we’ll be hearing a lot more from this young man in the future. Good choice, America!
