The only reason I am writing this post is because I am sick of hearing people on twitter complain about how David Cook is a cookie cutter rock musician (@jeffmccord) or that the wrong David won.  The right David won this competition.  The last thing we need is a 17 year old with an overbearing father trying to handle the pressures of being an American Idol.

I was on Summize this evening watching all of the ‘AI’ related tweets come in.  A lot of people are happy with the results, some were displeased, and the west coasters were pissed over the fact that everyone here in the east was ruining it for them.  Given that the show is done live in LA, why is it not shown live on the west coast too?  I never understood that about television networks, go figure.

Well, both Davids have a lot of work ahead of them.  I see 19 going to option both of their contracts, which will result in working with great writers and producers.  The only problem is trying to package Archuleta.  He has a magical voice, but where do you stick him?  Cook will be easy to package – ROCK.

Overall, it was a great season of American Idol.  Lots of controversy, a talented group of performers, Simon’s shirts got smaller, Paula seemed more loopy than usual, and the producers found more ways to waste time on the results shows.

Do you have any thoughts on American Idol and the results?  Leave a comment below.

Cheers!
