I’m so glad! He won!…. and I voted for the first time on AI that night….

But the truth is, it was either way, to be honest I felt both Davids were winners, they both earned their spot in the top two. If only they both could’ve won, because I think this was the best top 2 EVER.

Cook wins in the creativity/stage presence/musician department, Archie wins in the soulful/pure/vocals department. Archie had better vocals! But Cook did so much….he deserved to win.

Everything he sings sounds pretty much the same. He is to similar to chris daughtry and all the other rocker type singers that American Idol has. The other David had a naturally good voice and deserved it way more than this guy. David Cooks is sooo lame…he is just gonna produce crappy soft rock music
