That is fantastic news!!!!!

It starts here in Las Vegas in 15 minutes.

I stayed up until 1 a.m. dialing in votes last night for David Cook. The last hour was a breeze, got through almost every time. So I was hoping that Cook would win because it was 3 a.m. central and 4 a.m. eastern. All the kiddies had long gone to bed.

Archuleta’s music is all ballads and variations on the same theme. And he has little personality.

David Cook has a dynamic range, true grit all with a unique style and stage presence. The next Daughtry is born.

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAVID COOK ROCKS!! I STARTED THINKING THAT THE SHOW WAS RIGGED THE WAY SIMON WAS PUSHING ARCHIE ON EVERYONE…BUT THE BEST MAN OR ONE (HA HA) WON!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

DON’T WORRY ARCHIE…YOU WILL GET A CONTRACT..

I STARTED THINKING THAT MAYBE THE YOUNG VOTERS DROPPED OFF AFTER 10:00…WHILE THE OLDER PEOPLE KEPT VOTING..AFTER 10:00..THINK ABOUT IT MOST KIDS HAVE TO BE IN BED BY TEN PM!!!!!!!!!!!

IN REALITY YOU’RE BOTH WINNERS!!! :)

real deal @ 05/21/2008 at 10:55 pm

DAVID COOK ROCKS!!! HE TOTALLY DESERVED TO WIN THIS SINGING COMPETITION.

david archuleta has an amazing voice but he doesn’t have cook’s grit and the raw quality of his voice. plus, cook takes RISKS and does not stick to one thing all the time (aka archuleta’s mellow ballads)

anyways dont worry they’re already both famous!!!!

GO DAVID COOK!

question @ 05/21/2008 at 10:56 pm

What does the winner actually get? Is it a million dollars, a record deal worth that amount, both, neither or what? How much so they get for the tour? I know the top two each get a Ford van lol!!

The cook family must be having mixed feelings…They are thrilled for one child, David, achieving his dreams and devastated to be slowly losing another child to cancer. Blessings to them.
Congratulations to both Davids
