David Cook Wins American Idol!
David Cook snug the American Idol throne against David Archuleta who has been the judges favorite on the finale night. The odds had been tipped to Cook’s side for about 12 million votes.
Cook cried when he was called the winner, 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.
AS an ending note for the show’s seventh season, Cook immediately took the microphone and began to sing “Time of my Life,” a midtempo rocker by Nashville singer/songwriter Regie Hamm, winner of the annual “Idol” songwriting competition.
Cook refused to bow to the conventional during his three-song set Tuesday, with Collective Soul’s “The World I Know” as his pick for a closing performance. He also sang U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” and the power ballad “Dream Big,” his choice from the songwriting competition’s non-winning finalists.
Both Davids will have a smooth career in front of them because of thier popuparity. The Idol night pulled out around 97 million voters which is a record breaker according to the Idol management and its also a 3 percent increase from last years finale.
