Winner of American Idol 2008David Cook
It was a great two-hour show packed with incredible performances that I'll be posting, when they're up on YouTube, as always. Not only were there huge stars like George Michael, OneRepublic, ZZ Top but also fellow alum Carrie Underwood returned to the Idol stage as well as Jordin Sparks and the rest of Season 7's Top 12 finalists. The time to announce the winner came and there was a bigger difference than expected. Nearly a hundred million votes were casted (which is a new world record) and David Cook was announced the winner by a 12 million votes difference. Cook received 54% to David Archuleta's 46%. Once the results were announced, Cook stepped aside and clapped for Archuleta, he then went on to bow down and broke to tears, clearly overwhelmed for winning the title of American Idol. After composing himself, he said "This is amazing, thank you!". Cook closed the show performing "Time of My Life" - this year's winning song which will be made available on iTunes soon.
I honestly thought David Archuleta would be the winner based on last night. However, I knew if people voted right for what they have done the entire season then David Cook would win by a broad margin - and that's exactly what happened. I actually haven't been this happy for an Idol winner since Carrie won Season 4. Can't wait for Cook's album to hit stores this fall.
