David Cook Wins American Idol Season 7

The battle between the two David’s in American Idol is finally over. David Cook impressively gathered 54.6 million or 56% of the 97.5 million of votes. That is 12 million difference to David Archuleta’s 42.9 million of votes. That is a new record for American Idol. Let’s just wait for the figure if it beat the ratings of American Idol Season 5.

The Top 12 finalists started the show with their group performance followed by the duet of David Archuleta and David Cook. Mike Myers also appeared in the results night somewhat promoting his new movie Guru. I’d love to watch that movie. Syesha Mercado and Seal was the next performer. Donna Summer with the Top 6 girls performed her new single and her signature “Let’s Dance” song. Donna Summer even shared her diamond-studded microphone to Syesha Mercado. What a nice woman. I still can remember what Mary J. Blige did to Elliot Yamin before when they had a duet on the season finale of American Idol. After they finished their duet, Mary J. Blige left Elliot Yamin on stage like he wasn’t there. What a diva!

Bryan Adams on the other hand joined the Top 6 guys. It’s been a long time since I saw Bryan Adams on TV, wow he aged a lot. The Jonas Brothers also performed their hit song “SOS” followed by the performance of Reynaldo Lapuz. Cool and funny! Other performers were One Republic with David Archuleta, Jordin Sparks singing “One Step At A Time” and my favorite Idol Carrie Underwood singing “Last Name.”

It was a staggering two-hour show and I must admit that it wasn’t bad like last year. It was just disappointing and depressing that my bet David Archuleta did not win. I was laughing hard when my friend lost a bet with this result night. That’s why I’m not into gambling. Congratulations to David Cook!
