I guess I am a cougar after all LOL!!!!<BR/><BR/>But you and your commenters have hit it; I think Cook has a bit more substance to him than the other winners, and he is a real musician and artist. With integrity. It will be interesting to see how his career unfolds ... I hope he'll do well.Karen MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834425321020756655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-53279892551237521432008-05-25T16:43:00.000-04:002008-05-25T16:43:00.000-04:00I thought DA would win after his performance in th...I thought DA would win after his performance in the final.

The only good thing was that I was watching it live as well as recording it, but when that idiot Ryan Seacrest made the announcement, my tv paused just as he called out the winner (my taping saying it was complete). It took me a few seconds to figure out from their reactions who had actually won:)<BR/><BR/>I couldn't agree more about DC. He's sooo much better than David A. I just didn't get the judges' on Tuesday. I'm convinced Randy and Simon were on crack:)Maria Geracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296473703226019932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-91245921859643733272008-05-24T18:33:00.000-04:002008-05-24T18:33:00.000-04:00Maureen, I thought for sure Archie would win, too....Maureen, I thought for sure Archie would win, too. And I couldn't understand it, because I thought DC did so much better Tuesday night, and was so much more deserving all-around (especially since he stopped wearing his bangs hanging over his forehead like Emo Boy).

I was livid at the way the judges pandered to Archie on Tuesday nite, particularly Simon since neither Randy or Paula ever say anything of note. I was so happy when DC was announced the winner and then my DVR cut off the rest. I agree with you that DC looked like he'd been playing with ZZ Top for years, and he totally overpowered Archie on their duet. And what about Carly Smithson and Michael Johns? I heart that performance.Elizabeth Kerri Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763642809052430107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-9096598654386388212008-05-22T14:01:00.000-04:002008-05-22T14:01:00.000-04:00I'm thinking the judges no doubt learned the outco...I'm thinking the judges no doubt learned the outcome early Wednesday and Simon made the apology to save face, lest he be accused of being WRONG-O.L.A.

It's not just he's cute, but he handled winning with SUCH grace. Such sportsmanship. It was unexpected both when he cried and when he brought the top 12 on stage with him - and that's not something American Idol is known for at all.<BR/><BR/>Husband and I were talking about why more of the Idols aren't bigger deals - most of them have faded into the obscurity they came from and I think it's such a hard business and winning idol makes it even harder - time and pressure and commitment wise - that alot of these singers just don't have it. I hope DC has it - I really do. I like him.<BR/><BR/>Why is this occupying so much of my brain? What is wrong with me?Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-46831476312769589872008-05-22T08:19:00.000-04:002008-05-22T08:19:00.000-04:00I heart David Cook, too.

Simon even apologized to David Cook right before they announced the winner... <BR/><BR/>Confession... I did stay up to catch the end on the Vancouver station... It came on just after 2:00 am (over top of what was supposed to be the start of the CTV news.)<BR/><BR/>That idol song DC sang during the performance show didn't wow me... but when he sang it last night, I teared up a bit. Maybe I was just tired, but I don't think so. Cheesy song, but boy can sing...Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-23885028841225209892008-05-22T07:37:00.000-04:002008-05-22T07:37:00.000-04:00I didn't even bother watching the Idol finale beca...I didn't even bother watching the Idol finale because I couldn't bear to watch DA take the crown.<BR/><BR/>Don't you think it was unfair of the judges to practically hand DA the victory on Tuesday night? And when they showed the clips at the end, they picked the one moment that DC was a tad off key - when the rest of his performance was brilliant. I felt manipulated by the whole program...<BR/><BR/>Imagine my surprise!!<BR/>The right David definitely won. DA is a little cutey, but he needs to age about 10 years and develop a little maturity/edge.<BR/>I heart David Cook!!Wylie Kinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09271148590574475682noreply@blogger.com
