The all-ballad boy would have fallen flat for me, but ROCKER Cook is amazing — from “Billie Jean” to the opera-sounding “Softly, Gently,” he really showed what his range was.
Very happy here!

:D:D:D:D:D
lol no
Archuleta definetely should of won….America got it all wrong…here comes another daughtry….so lame
okay, so i was staring at the screen watching american idol, shaking!!!!!!! and i told everyone, oh, i like both of them! they are both great! but a little part of me wanted david archuleta to win… when they said David Cook, i was surprised, because seriously i thought david Archuleta would win. but david cook began to sing, and went over the david A and smiled and put an arm around him. David A was smiling, and then i was happy that david Cook won. he has an amazing voice, and seems super nice as well. america got is right this year, and its been one of the BEST years ever in american idol. david archuleta is amazing and only has great things coming for him. david cook is going to be great, and his album will ROCK!!!!
david archuleta sucks and I’m glad he lost
COOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!
:) 
:)
COOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!
:) 
:)
The right David definitely won!! He’s amazing and by far the best singer/entertainer. And he and ZZ Top rocked the h*ll out of that finale.
YAY!!!!!!
AH. david archuleta should have won. first of all, he is better looking, and he also has a way better voice. he’s like never pitchy or anything.
++ i’m really mad because i tried voting last night and it was seriously busy all night.
I think they are both good…but he did win by 12 million votes i think they said….lol
freakin’ A, I’m on the West Coast, I could hardly stand it, I’m sooo excited, I just pissed on myself….GO DAVID COOK>>>>>Finally, we got it right,….someone, give us the details, I can’t wait!!!!!
Thank God people can make good choices. I could see David Cook really doing amazing in the music biz. Other David needs to grow up more get singing leassons, start playing an instrument and really strengthen his voice. I think that David Cook knows who he is as an arist, other David, I don’t think so.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. DAVID ARCHULETA WAS THE AMERICAN IDOL, HE HAS BEEN SINCE HIS AUDITION.
NO i wanted ARCHULETTA to win
…but cook is good to 
David Cook you totally ROCK and America got the vote right!!! WOOHOO
technaclly. they both won.
but david cook gets the name of the winner.
No. America totally got it wrong. Cook wont be as successful as little David.
NOOO!
I LOVED archieeeee<3
oh well, he will go far.
this is just the beginning..
Oh, my God, you have no idea how mad i am right now! David Archuleta totally should have won! he was 3489475934593847598347538457 times better than David Cook. when they announced that David C. had won, i was seriously shaking. God, i was so mad!! then, when i got in the shower, i was crying. seriously. ugh!!! America got it WRONG!!!!!!!!! i’m buying David A.’s CD when it first comes out! i’ll hopefully be one of the first ones to get it. David Archuleta, you may not have won, but you’re still the American Idol to me.
no!!! archuleda was better =(
ARCHULETA SHOULD’VE WON!!!
You know what .. it honestly doesn’t even matter who wins this show.. Both of them are going to have their own record deals anyway .. and go off and make an album and great music..
All american Idol is .. is a stepping stone for them.. it matters what they make of themselves after the show..
In a way i think David Cook would’ve honestly been better off not winning AI .. It seems like he’s not going to be able to make the music he wants to make with his album .. Considering daughtry said that he was glad he didn’t win because he was able to do more of his thing.. David is going to be run by Clive Davis and i honestly don’t think he’ll get that much independence towards what he really wants to do .. But clive has been known to make hits so i guess it’s a good thing
Archuleta fans . don’t worry he’ll get his own album too .. who knows it could even do better than David Cook since it’s happened in the past before..
i really didn’t care who won mainly because i really really truly liked both Davids.. if it wasn’t them two in the finals then i definitley would’ve slanted my vote towards another David.. but i thought both were amazing .. and I’m happy for both of them .I really did like them equally ..
But great job AC he deserved it .. and It says a lot also about Archuleta who at just 17 made it that far .. he’ll be successful no doubt about it .
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m completely devasted…America got it WRONG!!!! You’re still a WINNER ARCHIE!!!
ANCHOVIE SUCKS
America has said NO to the bubblegum music of the Jonas bBros and that cheesy Miley Cyrus
BTW WTF was CArrie Underwood wearing tonight?.
didn’ t really see it coming…
but congrats to Cook
DAVID COOK ROCKS THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’M SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO DAVID COOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!
I love you Cook!!!
Yahoooooooooo!!!! David Cook won!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!! YES!!! AND YES!!!
**** cook!!!!!!!!
ARCHIE KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!!!!
marry me, david c.
Can people be happy for David Cook without bashing David Archuleta. David Archuleta has an amazing voice and he WILL get a record contract and not have to share any of his money with Simon Fuller. Archuleta makes out better in this deal.
AWWW MAN! that was sooo dissapointed!!
i REALLY wanted david archuleta to win!!
:[ im upset… a lot
AWESOME
the right David won!!!!!!!! Wahoo! So well deserved!
YES!!! I love David Cook! He deserves it. He ROCKED it!
David Archuleta is pretty gud and i admit that he did slightly better last nite but david cook has so much more to offer as the next idol
OF COURSE!
DAVID COOK ROCKS!
=]
noooo, i thought that archuleta should have won, he looked so sad when he lost
but the jonas brothers were amazing.
YESSSSSSS of course..david cook is going all the way…as long as they don’t make him sing any more wuss songs
ughhhhhh! that is sad!!. it should have been David A.
:[ dissapointed

GLAD DAVID COOK WON !
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
archie should have wonnn
he is 100000000000000 times better!
Well well well all my ranting worked. I’m happy for the guy. David Archuleta will have a nice musical career. i could see him on Broadway. I hope this is the end of talent shows for David Archuleta. He turns 18 then he’ll be rid of his stage dad. I like the two Davids. With the right people with them, they will have good careers in the muusic industry. They may not be superstars but they will have careers which is somethin that neither had when they auditioned.
Okay its fare daivd cook won cause archie has been singing since he was small but he’ll still get a contrct to be famous like Chris brown so i dont care who won >:]
YES! my friend voted “1000 and some change” times. definitely counted for something.
no. america got it wrong. David Archuleta should have won. he’s the best. he wins our heart. && last night’s performance. He won all three rounds. there is no
