I thought I would join the throngs of those blogging about American Idol results because is there really any issue of greater importance?
Just as Emily, this is my first time to ever really get into American Idol. I usually just watched the hilarious and ridiculous tryouts and the final two or three weeks. My two favorites were Brooke White and David Archuleta (DA). From the moment I heard DA perform John Mayer at his tryout, I said, "This guy is going to go deep into the finals!" As the season progressed I saw how all the tween and teen girls lost their sanity at the sight of him and factored that into his consistency of INCREDIBLE vocals and humility, I was convinced he was going to win.
During the first few weeks of the competition, I couldn't stand David Cook (DC). He seemed cocky and arrogant and had that annoying red streak in his hair that was obviously grown long to cover up a receding hairline. Then he performed his arrangement of "Hello" and it absolutely blew me away! Then he performed Billie Jean. Then he performed Elenor Rigby. Wow! I continued to be impressed with his ability to either arrange or find an arrangement of a song that completely suited his voice and style. He was still only a close 3rd to Brooke and DA.
It became apparent that Brooke was destined to be voted off. To me the most TALENTED of the bunch were Brooke White and DC. The one with the best vocals by far was DA. So, I was glad to see the showdown between DA and DC. DC actually became more palatable personality-wise showing some appreciation of DA and SOME humility. The final night of the competition, I thought DA blew DC out of the water. It is my belief that Simon's reaming of DC gathered the troops to vote more fervently for DC. So, I voted for DA several times because we have AT&T texting and it is free.

I have to admit that the 2 best moments of the final results show were DC and ZZ top (FANTASTIC!!!!!!) and Brooke White and Graham Nash. DC out performed DA in the final results show.
My preference would have been for DA to win, but I am certainly OK with DC. I will buy both CD's.
