I Can't Contain My Happiness!
Finally, the verdict has been set. And after almost 5 months, today has been the most memorable day in my entire TV lifetime. :)


David Cook is the American Idol of Season 7

Last night (which was the Final Performance night) pretty sucks - Simon Cowell gave the two Davids his piece of judgment, calling it a knockout by David Archuleta. I can sense that there's something going on that night and even David Cook had performed 3 beautiful songs, he couldn't contain his feeling about Simon giving a damn let-down. So what happened then?

The night started with a boxing theme and The Davids being introduced to the public. The first song choice was by RCA Chairman Clive Davis, the second choice was picked by the contestants from American Idol Season 7's Songwriting Competition, and the third and last choice was a song picked by the contestants - be it a previous performance or not.

By the way, the order performance is decided through a coin toss - David Archuleta won the toss so he got to pick his position: he said he's decided to go second. Lord Andrew Webber (responsible for the Phantom of the Opera music) coached them again for the second time; he had also coached the contestants during the Top 6 Performance Night.

Here are the list of performances:
  • David Cook
    • 1st Song Choice: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (U2)
    • 2nd Song Choice: Dream Big (Emily Shackelton)
    • 3rd Song Choice: The World I Know (Collective Soul)
  • David Archuleta
    • 1st Song Choice: Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (Elton John)
    • 2nd Song Choice: In This Moment (Ryan Gillmor)
    • 3rd Song Choice: Imagine (John Lennon)

You can read the whole article about the American Idol Season 7 Finale here.

Again, as I have said, I'm happy my predictions were right. I knew David Cook would win this hands down no matter what Simon had said about him being knocked out by the little David. It's only him - one heck of a critic judge against David Cook's millions and millions of fans, include Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul - and that makes Simon Cowell the only dissatisfied audience that night. :)

I have also casted my vote for David Cook using Gizmo! Good thing I have voted just in time for the finals! I can't believe my call through Gizmo got through!!! Sorry for the over usage of exclamation marks - it's just that I am so ecstatic that he finally won this season after all the hard work he's been through.

** UPDATE: I'm halfway through with my website. :) I think I can host it before the end of the month.

Again, I congratulate my greatest summer infatuation David Cook for winning this season of American Idol! It has been an honor to me to have known you, even if it's just through our Sony Wega TV. :D Hahaha. But taking this on serious note, you were the only one who made me inspired and have helped me overcome my songwriter's block! :D Thank you David Cook! (As if he would be reading this! But we may never know - I sure hope so. I really like him that much - not only because of how he looks right now but how he makes me like the old songs I've never even heard of. YOUR VOICE TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY DAVID COOK!
