cookey wins the AI 2008
American Idol 2008 concluded and declared the ex-bartender David Cook as the new idol. He virtually body-slammed teen prodigy David Archuleta in a surprising landslide Wednesday night, capping an energized finale filled with big stars and polished performances.
Cook was overcome with emotion, bending toward the stage after his name was announced. When he stood up, his eyes were filled with tears, the second time in as many nights that the scruffy, grainy-voiced belter had broken down.
Cook, 25, from Blue Springs, swamped Archuleta, 17, of Murray, Utah, by a margin of 12 million votes out of the record 97.5 million casts by viewers.
I really expected that Archuleta will win this Idol because of his annoyingly good voice and has chosen smart songs. Clearly, he’s in it for the win with a multitude of screaming fans praising his talent and charisma. But on the other hand, Cook is sincere, creative, and daring enough to shake the ground of predictability. Also his being rebellious turned to be rewarding in the end. Anyway, they both have soulful gaze when they perform professionally on stage, which qualify them as to be a winner (for me).
Anyway, David Archuleta is gonna be big no matter what. :) Congrats Cook’s fans.

Simon has to give a public apology for declaring a knockout after Archie rendered his last song.
Now who's knocked out?

Yep. Simon apologize for his comment to Cook's performance. Anyway, he has a good time for sure eating his words. :)
My heart goes to Archie, but I'm pretty sure he'll make it big in the biz for his beautiful voice.
