(Left: David Cook Right: David Archuleta)
And whO's D A V I D it is anyway?!
Well, about 10:30 am in the philippines and about 8:45 pm in America, The Winner has been announced...after months of the search, it's up to the DAVIDS..
after a massive result, AMERICA voted with 12 million votes (one of the successful results after Kelly Clarkson & Carrie Underwood Season) AMERICA has decided that the NEW AMERICAN IDOL is...... "tick-tock...tick-tock..."
COOK!!!!!!
I'm really nervous because America has been a bit Crazy in terms of Music Industry is concern. What sells to them nowadays are the too much hip-hop and too much R&B and tooooo much of POP. I was nervous that my bet (David Cook) might be the runner up for David Archuleta because of the last nights performance where Simon Cowell forecasted that "It's a knock-out" for David Archuleta. sO...(Here comes the Cook Rocker Lovers and VOTE OVERNIGHT! hahaha! YahOOO!)
David Roland Cook, 25 years old from Houston Texas, was declared the winner, May 22, 2008 of the 7th Season of American Idol, recieving 56% of the votes cast and beating out runner-up David Archuleta by 12 Million Votes.
I Hope that with David Cook's Win, American Idol will regain it's ability and credibility for searching America's Superstar/Idol and not a Fallen Idol who is Famous after winning and losing in the sight of the people after few months...MONTHS?! Imagine?! Coz there have been comments that American Idol has loss it's Spark on Making and Putting it's winner into Stardom. Where's Ruben? Taylor? Fantasia? even Kelly Clarkson now? It Looks Like CARRIE UNDERWOOD is the Ultimate IDOL since her Triumph began in the 4rth Season. Even Jordin Sparks is quite a disappointment too coz her Album "Jordin Sparks" has turned Gold and haven't reached platinum yet and peaked only at top 12 of Billboard. well, thanks to her Collaboration with Chris Brown, No Air is a BIG HIT in the U.S and having ther the 2nd Idol having reached TOP 5 Position in the Billboard HOT 100; the first is of course, Kelly Clarkson.
at least now, AMERICA proved me wrong...THEY STILL prefer TALENT over LOOKS but no Offense to "Archie" (Archuleta) the Kid has Talent and has a Spark to Many People. BUT The Industry needs NEW wave of TALENT, not just singing Ballads at it's Prime. Got Me?! =)
So...WAY TO GO MY COOK!!! hahaha! DAVID COOK WINS!!!! Hope that He's talent would be recognized and his Record would be released Internationally!!! May he be as BIG as Leona Lewis that made it big by also joining a singing competition.
GOOD LUCK DAVID COOK
KEEP ROCKIN' US OUT!!
GOD BLESS!!
