David Cook won in the finale Idol season 7 by 12 millions votes more than david Archuletta. Wow!! This is the first time that Simon had been wrong predicted the winner at the finale round.
For the first time a rocker win Idol title. I do think America had pick the best choice this year. David Cook started with small fans base and it grow bigger and bigger each week cause of his diversity songs and performance. He can sing in any genre that throw at him. More and more people rooting for him to win.
Even sing in the pimp spot cannot help david Archuletta to win. This is the second time happen after Reubeun and Clay season 2. Archie lost just because his fans base didnot grow as quick as Cook. He had a large fans base to strat with but did not add as fast as Cook did.
Congrats on both Davids. I could see bright future for both of them. Cook will be doing a great rock pop kind of album and Archie will be great in pob ballad album.
Now I am waiting for so you Think You Can dance 4 to start.

i believe america made the right choice. i think cook is more eligible to be the winner. archuleta have a nice voice, of course. but cook have everything needed to be a star.
Simon was not wrong, i think. He didn't predict the AI winner. He just mentioned who is the winner of every round in the last week. america's choice is not based on the last week performance only. it consider all weeks.

i think they both are a great singer, at first i thought that archuleta who's gonna win since every time he perform, he always got lots of cheering from all the girl, so i thought he's more popular than cook and he'll surely win it :)
archuleta still so young, but have a great voice & potential to be a great singer, he'll get his chances to be a great singer :) for cook i think this is the first rock singer that win an american idol :) i think he's a very talented musician, can play the guitar well, has a great voice and arrange lots of great arrangement during his performance. The only thing that surprise me is when he's crying after he knows that he won it, since he always been the cool guy in all this season, not much emotional expression, but it shows that even a rock star can shed tears too LOL

Yes, david cook also show us how human he is cause we are so used about the type of bad boy rocker attitude from lots of rockers in music. Nice to had a rocker as idol winner. he deserved to win cause he was the most creative singer maybe for the entire idol season .

If we talk about creativity we shouldn't forget about what Blake Lewis did in season 6 :D This guy also really creative, what he did to Bon Jovi's song with his "boombox" skill is really cool :) for me Blake is the most creative the whole season so far..sorry a little bit out of topic :P

I believe that America made the right choice. If I was there I would totally support Cook. He's unique and like you said, he can sing any song from any genre that was thrown at him. He deserves the title this season.

Yes. He came practically from nowhere to win it. usually at Idol, we already know who will win it after one or 2 singing show. But david started to steal all the attention when the top 12 started and knock off all the strong candidate from the semifinal 24.

I am a big David Cook fan 
David Archuletta has a nice voice. He can sure sing, but David Cook is more mature and I can definitely see him as a recording artist. He knows how to make a song his own and that shows that he has the ability to define his own music. David Archuletta, on the other hand, sings really well, but in terms of defining his own music... I don't think he's there yet.

If i know sooner we can SMS about the show. Its really disheartening when everyone pick Archie to win in the finale results and what do they know?? 12 million votes is a lot of differences.
I agree about Archie. he need to find out his capability in muisc. But he had a great future specially if he joined Disney team like Jordin Sparks did. Both young and cute and can sing.

I soooo believe David Cook is the right choice for Season 7 American Idol. He is very original and very contemporary while David Archuleta excels on ballad only. I think David Cook will be the most popular Americal Idol so far knocking out Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, Fantasia, etc.

Yes. America do make the right choice. David Cook deserved to be the winner. He's a versatile performer. He can definitely sing any song he puts his talent into. He makes good versions of songs as if it his own. A great talent to be added in the music industry. Congrats to him.
David Archuletta is great too. He needs to grow up more though. Congrats to him too.
