I really thought Archie was going to win. What a great surprise! And the last shot of the evening was great. David’s brother.
David is going to be an awesome American Idol. He is such a cool guy. Congratulations David Cook!
Nothing against Archuleta – the kid is a great talent, class act, and could’ve just as easily won it tonight – but what was with his dad mouthing “it’s rigged” as the camera passed by… Dad could stand to learn some grace and humility from his kid.
Congratulations David Cook!!!
Jeanne how come the video is not working?
I’m so surprised DC won! I’m happy but I really thought Archie was going to take it. I really hope Ai let’s DC do his own thing and don’t restrain him too much. Wow
Yeah DA’s dad needs to learn a thing or 2 from his son for sure…that’s so sad he did that…guess the “rumors” are true.
I love David Cook and I’m so glad he won. I haven’t been this into American Idol in a long time. Great singers this year and a really deserving winner. Congratulations David Cook.
Wowwowwow was I amazed and wonderfully excited that David Cook won!!! I was happier than ever! I was like 100% sure Archie had it, but then when he said David Cook, I screamed and celebrated. You have no idea what a great career he will have. I’m sooo happy for him. However, Archie will deff. get a GREAT record deal.
I♥U DC!!!!!
Congrats!☺
3 davids i love..Cook,Archuleta & Hernandez. Hell,who cares about their background,the point is they wanted to change their life through singing. Not only them,other contestants,too.Everybody wants to be a winner.Guess,nobody’s perfect,eh?My Congratz to DC & others who had entertained us throughout the season so far& directly to the final.
Now that it’s over,sure going to miss them a lot…T_T
I am so thrilled that David Cook won! I LOVE the winner’s song. This is the first year that I’ve actually liked it without needing it to grow on me for a few months.
I think probably because David Cook sung it so beautifully.
This was a great season.
Jeanne, what are you going to do now that you have Tuesday and Wednesday nights back???
i love you NIKKKilee
I really wanted Archie to win. Don’t get me wrong, i like Cook, but Arch just has such grace about him. He seems like a real nice guy.
It’s so nice that he’s still backing his father even though everyone else isn’t.
[...] a day of covering red carpet arrivals for American Idol and seeing David Cook leave most of us in stunned, yet pleasant disbelief after being named Season 7’s winner over David Archuleta, I headed off to the American Idol [...]
