IDOL SPOILER ALERT: David Cook Wins!
Hey everyone...I'm at the Nokia Theater right now, so I won't be able to blog in detail about the American Idol finale until later tonight. But here's the one piece of vital info you need to know right now, just announced:
DAVID COOK IS YOUR NEW AMERICAN IDOL!
Man, this news just rocks. Literally!
Yes, the unassuming Missouri bartender with no Smithson-style showbiz connections has trumped aggressively hyped/stage-parented Star Search winner David Archuleta. America got it right this time. Thanks for rocking the vote, Idol fans! (And if those Internet rumors are true that this outcome was fixed, well then, I guess thanks to whomever rigged it in Cook's favor...)
I know I said in my earlier blog that I didn't want to David The C to win (ONLY because I was afraid it would ruin his career)...but now that I'm here in the middle of all this celebratory hubbub, I'm pretty pleased with the results. And Cook's career seems pretty intact so far. So huzzah for Cook!
Come back later for a full report on my backstage/red carpet finale experience, but feel free to start posting your comments about the season 7 outcome now, and let me know if you agree that the right David won.
Now please excuse while I go make sure Papa Archuleta doesn't have a total meltdown...
Then again, I've always been Team Cook. DAVID COOK IS THE AMERICAN IDOL!!!!!
I totally not expected this though I am happy with the result. David Cook deserves it. He is truly an idol. He's family especially his ill brother for sure are very proud of him. This is a great result, unexpected but worthy. Cook, Cook! The new American Idol.
with ZZ Top should go down as the greatest
Idol performance ever. Best of Luck David.
I was shocked, excited and nearly peed my pants screaming and jumping that David C won!!!!
Yeah! he is the true American Idol. Can't wait for his CD. Will be my first AI cd. Gnite all.
Can't wait to see your full report Lyndsey!
WE ALL LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!
ALWAYS,
AMANDA
