David Cook has just taken out American Idol 7, in what could be seen as a bit of an upset win over David Archuleta, but if he’s going to sing as well as this all the time, he’s going to be great. It’s a brave man that tackles a U2 number. U2 fans are very passionate purists and don’t like people messing with their stuff, but I think he did a great job.
I was so sure that Archie was going to take it, that I did not watch the finale. But Cook has the goods and will make a great star. Archie has an incredible instrument, but has to find himself yet.
Cook was hot. I loved his kindness and humblenss. That goes a long way with me.
