So David Cook is the new American Idol.  He had my vote early on this season, although I was beginning to think David Archuleta would win after last night’s performances.
But when David Cook appeared on stage with ZZ Top tonight, well that was just perfect. He’s got a natural rock star vibe with the voice to go with it.  It’s cool to see my favorite contestant actually win for a change.
So congratulations to David Cook.  I’ll be looking for his new album later this year.

So American Idol is down to the two finalists, David Cook and David Archuleta are the American Idol Top 2 this year.
It’s the battle of the Davids. Who will be the Goliath? Who will be the next American Idol? My money is on David Cook, who has given outstanding performances this entire season.
Check out this YouTube video and see if you don’t agree.

A fellow blogger pointed out a post on the Los Angeles Times Entertainment blog section about American Idol. The title “Idol Tracker: A stool too far” caught our attention because it didn’t make any sense. So we had to read their post to find out what the heck they were posting about.
It was about Chikezie being eliminated from the show, and how amazing it is how the producers manage to stage these results episodes in new ways, and taking an hour to s-t-r-e-t-c-h o-u-t the announcement of who is going home that week.
We actually watched season seven when Jordin Sparks won the vote from runners up Blake Lewis and Melinda Doolittle. But it’s really difficult to watch American Idol this year, when most of the contestants can’t even sing on key, except for David Cook.
