American Idol Season 7 finale has ended in an unexpected landslide victory for David Cook, a former bartender from Blue Springs, Missouri. I was certainly not expecting David to win the Idol title, but, like Simon Cowell, I think I would have been OK with either possible outcome.
A record 97.5 million viewers voted on the competition. Host Ryan Seacrest said Cook had won by a margin of 12 million votes over David Archuleta, who had enjoyed the most praise throughout the season specially from Simon Cowell.
On Tuesday night Cook went with Collective Soul’s The World I Know, while record producer Clive Davis picked U2’s I Still Haven’t found What I’m Looking For for the singer as the producer’s choice track.
Earlier in the season David Cook performed songs by the Who and Our Lady Peace, in one instance choosing to croon Chris Cornell’s cover of the Michael Jackson track Billie Jean - a truly outside-the-box pick.
Opponent David Archuleta, from Murray, Utah, had opted for tracks such as John Farnham’s You’re the Voice and John Lennon’s Imagine, which he chose once again for Tuesday’s performance. Davis picked Elton John’s Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me for Archuleta, the performance of which host Randy Jackson deemed “flawless.”
Cook was awarded a recording contract with Simon Fuller’s 19 Entertainment and Sony/BMG, as well as an SUV.
An “American Idols Live” tour featuring the show’s last 10 competitors which includes our very own Ramiele Malubay will hit North America this summer.
