LOL/YW. He WON me over by the finale, with the force of his personality, as well as his singing. It just took me forever to get over the fact that I originally thought he was kinda funnylooking. But now I think he's a real sweetie-pie, and TRULY admire him. The more he speaks, the more I'm impressed. When he was on Leno he cracked me up when he talked about filming the Risky Business bit, when he said that he realized he didn't know anyone in the room - and he had no pants on! That made me LOL!

I have to admit, I'm curious to see where David A's career takes him. My money's riding on Disney or Nickelodeon.

ITA with you Mameblanche. How many people out there would want to buy a CD with 12 ballads on it?

Why did they have the top 12 perform on the finale if they only tour with the top 10?

That was a great interview! He acts like he's been doing it forever. This guy was totally destined for greatness. Love my David Cook!!! Woooooo hoooo!! LOL Sugar - or I was thinking he may have nabbed one of Santa's suits. That was just plain hideous looking!

Poor little David A. He is really tongue tied on on King right now.

Thank you, Sugar for the funniest thing I've read on here in the longest time: "And why was Randy wearing Captain Kangaroo's old suit?" I choked on my sip of Bacardi/diet coke over that one.

What an incredible Larry King interview. I am amazed by the difference between Cook and Archuleta interview wise. One of the many reasons why Cook should have and did win. How articulate and humble and poised and calm he is. What an excellent representative of what American Idol is all about. It is not just about talent, one has to wear the crown and deal with the media too.

I know Mamie, my goodness! David Cook is also the first "rocker" idol, I hope he breaks the mold on how unsuccessful male idol winners have been. I truly see him at the grammys like Daughtry. He really is the whole package IMO. He represents the rock fans and for the first time, I am extremely invested in the future of an American Idol. I will buy his albums, watch everything he is on, follow his progress... I watched all the interviews yesterday and on no sleep, he was incredibly poised, humble and that midwest family values thing you just cannot ignore. I was a big Daughtry fan, I am the biggest Chris Cornell fan (I will never forget DC did CC's Bille Jean!)After 7 years, finally an Idol who I give a goshdarn about, it is quite refreshing I also think the machine won't eat him up, he is too grounded for that IMO.

I so agree. I haven't really watched a full Idol season in years. I caught bits and pieces and this was the first season in a long time that pulled me in from the start. I too will buy his cds and hopefully see him in concert one day. He's the total package.

First idol season I have watched in its entirety too! I can't believe they grabbed the "I am your brother..." guy for the finale, lol. A testament to the fact that I watched from the beginning (for the first time) was the fact that I knew who he was, hehehe.

When they announced the top 12, I really didn't think David C would make it this far. Not because of his sound, but because I thought his looks weren't what it takes. Really, when he had those odd colors and that strange style of hair, he was like a thinner Perez Hilton. But AI fixed his hair a bit, and his personality and sound took him the rest of the way. Then I really knew he could make it. I think it was around top 6 it hit me he could win. I sure won't be buying that single AI made him sing on the finale, but I might buy his cd as long as it isn't sappy rockified ballads like the single.

He was something else, wasn't he? I watched the first two seasons, didn't pick the winner, but watched them. Then they were just hit or miss for me. This is the first time I actually rooted for the one who turned out to be the winner. I was hoping I wasn't a jinx! LOL

not a David Cook fan even @ top 24 He started getting me ..... & by top 6, he was my choice. If I remember right: no props for DC as far as early round background stuff was ever shown to us. That's why he didn't "grab" us until we actually "saw" him & it took awhile for us to get over the ones they had drilled into us. I don't "buy" much music - I'll buy everything this guy ever does (I buy everything Clay does too) just to keep him on the charts.

I'm glad that he finally got to you. My only problem with David Cook in the beginning was that awful combover look he had going. I couldn't look at him! LOL I'm so glad that he changed it.

Mamie316, I think he was just humble & didn't see in himself the good looking guy he had hidden inside.

I saw it as just a bad hair do. Nothing to do with self image. My gosh, he put enough time and effort into it. I think it was 3 different colors when we first saw him, and slicked around into strange shapes...LOL
