Is it true? American Idol hasn't aired on the West Coast yet - it just finished its East Coast live broadcast - and technorati has posts regarding the winner...

David Cook? Seriously? My mother, who for the past few days has been saying that the other David, Archuleta, was going to win. And as far as I knew, he was the one to beat. (And beat Cook apparently did.)

(And I should point out that I barely saw any of this years shows - bits and pieces only - and I really didn't care who won. And you don't have to win AI to get a record deal - second place isn't that bad.)

I wonder if David Archuleta's dad - the stage dad from hell according to TMZ - is going to beat the shit out of him for losing. (If in fact he did lose.)

Now that American Idol is over, and Dancing With The Stars is finished we can get into a real competition show - So You Think You Can Dance!

David Cook deserves to win.... He's so great.

When his name was announced, the first thing he did was congratulate Archuleta, he basically set aside his feelings. It was only after Archuleta got a good exit that he let his emotions show.
He's just amazing amazing person. Not to mention of course talented!

Like I said, I didn't watch this year. (The last - and only - year I really watched was the Paris/Mandisa year.)

But most of the time the winners are gracious. After all, it could have been them that didn't win!
