There was no question for the last 6 weeks who was the most talented, and someone who could actually become a star... someone who could actually produce an album that people would buy. David A had a good voice for a chipmunk... Cook was clearly superior and a much more likely candidate for future success. How many ballads can you possibly listen to before you go to sleep... that is what David A is destined for...JMHO

You're tight, Cook is really good!!! Archuleta took but Cook has soul!

Hi Alexis, I was SHOCKED When David Cook won! For some reason I figured the Golden Boy David A would win..I was pulling for them both.Both will probaby have Great Careers. David A is young..He has plenty of time! This was the first American Idol I watched all the way through.It was pretty good!

The only people that found any talent in the two Davids were woman. Why do you think the producers matched them up. You can't even think "votes" had anything to do with it. Neither of them have true talent, they have talent, it just appears abundent because they are being compared to their peers. Put them against true talent and you'll see. I will agree the show was good...but buy the album?

Worst than that even, my local cable DVR (Tivo equivalent) recorded until Ryan said, "And the winner is..." and then cut off.

Go to You Tube.. they have a nine-minute video posted showing the entire ending. I had to do the same thing when my DVR recorded exactly what your Tivo did. It was a great ending!

I was so pleasantly surprised to hear the David Cook was crowned this year's American Idol. While I also felt that David Archuleta deserved the title, I really wanted a rocker to win. Everyone, Simon included, thought that David Archuleta would be more marketable, but we all remember how WRONG Simon was in season 2. I have only two words for David Cook: Chris Daughtry!!!!

in all the years I've seen American Idol never a vote was posted from me. until the finals this year. David A was good if all I wanted to hear was ballads. I automically knew what type song he was going to sing. David Cook was completely different. You never knew what was coming. David Cook was the entire package. when as the song goes "Girls just want to have fun" David Cook can rock the house down. but can deliver heart-felt ballad as well. As I said, I have never voted for any contestant before, but David Cook touched something inside me that made me call and vote until was no longer able. needless to say I was estatic when the winner was anounced.

Last night's American Idol was fantastic...it was a HUGE party...one excellent performance after the other...celebrities galore....and then to top it off with David Cook winning...couldn't have been a better night! I was truly waiting for the big let down of the other David (Archeletta) taking the win. But no...My favorite from the beginning David Cook took the win by a landslide!!!! Both my husband and I were on the phone the night before voting until our redial fell off. Simon, you clever man...you knew that if you told America that David Cook was winning they wouldn't vote...instead the fact that you slammed him provoked the fans into mass voting! You clever man! I will be blogging about this later on today...won't waste your space here. Alexis thanks for the excitement...I share it with you. Congrats to David Cook...an excellent story...now living the American Idol dream.

David Cook was my favorite too. He will be much more marketable. His reaction was one of humble gratitude as he showed several other times on the show. The last song of the night that you missed was the contest song and perfect for Cook. The whole show was surprisingly good. and did you see the Guitar Hero commercial with Cook? I was surprised by Paula's behavior during Carrie Underwood's performence.
