Viewed by a record 96 million and after 56 million votes , more than twice the votes in last Presidential election, votes from yesterday's finals of most watched entertainment show in the planet, the winner by 12 million more than the other finalists, despite Simon Cowell's discouraging comments which he apologized live today before the results were announced is DAVID COOK and I agree.
It was the cool 25 year old rocker, David Cook over the cute 17yo pop balladeer David Archuelleta. For a while, after yesterday's finale of Cook's unfamiliar rock songs against Archuelleta's popular ballads seemed like, it's all but the counting and the cute teen takes the Idol, especially with a final comment from Simon that he won by a knockout and has beaten Cook in all three final songs. I thought Cook has better vocal range, personality and
star quality than the other, America agrees haha!
For the non-familiar, here's DAVID COOK!
An earler risky performance of Michael Jackson classic Billy Jean with a rock twist - thought that was simply, brilliant.
His final song, actually not his finest, unfamiliar to many but nonetheless very good performance, despite Simon's comments which he apologized live tonight, that having watch the show afterwards, he thought he was wrong. Well he was!
BONUS: An earlier performance, a spice of rock in Richie's classic Hello:
COOKIE Anyone?
