David Cook Wins!
Host Ryan Seacrest called it “the closest competition we’ve seen”, bring in a record number of votes, almost 100 million.
Tuesday night on idol was a head to head competition of the two un-disputed best, David and David. They each got to sing three songs, Clive’s choice, a new song from the competition, and their choice. After each of the three songs, the judges gave the round to David Archuleta, calling the competition a “knock out”. Good thing the fans get to decide!!!
Fast-forward to Wednesday night. I can’t even imagine waiting 24 hours to have my fate decided by America! The results show was filled with lots of performances from the top 12, hey…they had two hours to fill, they needed something. I actually liked a lot of the songs. DA and DC were forced to wait the entire 2 hour show to get the long awaited results. Seacrest told America that the winning David had over 12 million votes to his advantage, but who would it be.
I don’t think Seacrest could have hung on the word “David” any longer before finally yelling “COOK”. I for one, screamed with excitement. And David Cook, so sweet, started crying, and was at a loss for words. He then got to sing the winning song from the competition (written by Regie Hamm), which will also be his first single, The Time of My Life.
