Best Idol Ever

As if there weren't enough reasons to heart David Cook, here's another: His LOL-tastic skit on possibly the best Best Week Ever ever:
With this, David has officially man-cemented his status as best Idol ever.
You know, if this singing thing doesn't pan out for David, not only could he go into hairdressing, he surely could try acting or standup comedy as well.
This Idol is funnier than Chris Sligh, hotter than Constantine, has more famous hair than Sanjaya...is there anything he cannot do?
Thank for sharing this clip that shows he has a sense of humor and some acting ability as well as his other talents. Thanks, also for helping us that are having some AI withdrawls, not have to go cold turkey.
Another article I ran into that adds to my personal respect for this very special Idol, helping to make him MY favorite ever is this.
'American Idol' champ David Cook visited Luke Menard in hospital

A couple of the other contestants went to see him also and many have sent messages. It looks like we have also chosen an Idol who is a good human being also.
I agree with Writeheart here though, I would fit into the category easily, but I too refuse to become a cougar. LOL. My son is the same age as Cook and usually listens to the kind of music I don't like at all, but all 3 of my children agree that we chose the right one this year.
Looking forward to his albums and successes...
Thanks, LP for the commentary that I looked forward to at least as much as Idol every week. You rock!!
That was great. He's extremely talented, intelligent, funny....sigh...why can't I find me someone like that...
I think you may enjoy this post from another site (film.com) as much as I do. It's in regards to why the majority of Americans chose David Cook as their AI. The author of the article is Ethan Morris (I think).
Dear Mr. Morris,
Both Davids are very musically gifted, as almost everyone seems to agree universally. However, I believe that the "young warbler" was consistently singing the same style that was endearing, but not very entertaining after you've heard him a few times. He really needs to broaden his repertoire. David Cook on the other hand had a fantastic range of genres and styles and he showed with a beautiful voice of highs and lows, singing his heart out about lonely Eleanors and Father McKenzies, tenderly kissing the face of little sparrows and warning poor maidens to guard their love for worthy suitors, sharing his heart about the world of love and idealism that he believed in. Although the reasons you mention for the victory of David Cook are all important factors, I believe that it was David's soulful representation of the mystery, gift, poetry and beauty of human anthropology that won the hearts of so many fans. David Archuletta has potential to grow in that dimension, but David Cook has reached a very beautiful stage of human development as a kind, humble and loving child of God's creation. My prayer for him is that he shall encourage many young people to follow in his example of seeking beauty, humility, truth and other eternal and most noble virtues of the human heart in this blessed gift of life's journey. It is people like David Cook that make the John Paul II's and Mother Theresa's come alive in our simple human lives.
Sincerely Yours, In the Peace and Love of God,
