Congratulations David Cook for winning the 7th season of the most popular show in American television, the American Idol.

So did I really root for David Cook to win or did I bet on the other David? Okay, I admit. I’ve really wanted David Archuleta to win the title instead of the older David. I have all cards for “Archie” during the finals and I thought that he would definitely win the competition after watching his performances. I mean his renditions, in my point of view, were way off the hook than Cook’s. The three songs he performed, all ballads though, have been perfectly and smoothly done. He really wowed me and as what Paula Abdul felt, I felt the goose bumps too by listening to his singing prowess. I even recalled Simon Cowell saying that “it was a knockout” so I thought that obviously, Archie will bring home the bacon.

So when the announcement of the big winner came, there came my disappointment too. It’s Cook who have been chosen by 12 million people to win the prize. But that’s okay. I have nothing against Cook. In fact, he’s voice is even bigger than the younger David’s and he can sing with high notes and all. I just feel Archie’s chords better because he sings from the heart – it is as if he’s singing from the heart.
Anyway, as Simon said, “I don’t care anymore whoever wins.” I’m pretty much sure that both David’s will get their own singles and records out soon. Their journey is just beginning and we’ll see in time who comes out on top of the other in terms of commercial success.
Oh, I think David Cook’s winning single is out already. So there…
