Justice is served. David C was the better choice IMO. He's just more mature and well rounded as a performer.

As one of the few great here and now songs, I think this was the best song to finish a season with. Again Congrats David Cook!!!!

I was at a baseball game tonight but anxiously awaiting to watch ai that i was recording. I was upset that the announcer at the game told the crowd who won. Good thing i knew cuz this thread title would have spoiled it for me. So...off to watch the show. And i'm glad david cook won.

So much for the ratings decline... :lol:

American Idol (Fox)
8:00 p.m. Viewers: 24.73 million, A18-49: 8.6/26
8:30 p.m. Viewers: 29.31 million, A18-49: 10.4/28
9:00 p.m. Viewers: 32.01 million, A18-49: 11.4/29
9:30 p.m. Viewers: 36.34 million, A18-49: 13.5/32 :eek:

One year earlier, American Idol concluded with a very similar 30.73 million viewers and an 11.5/31 among adults 18-49.

A great majority of those votes came those under 18 and there isn't a limit on number of times you can vote . . . on AI

New judge in the lineup this season. Kara DioGuardi. I have no clue who she is!

Edit to add:

OMYGOSH at the girl who tried out in the bikini! Loved it when kara said something along the line of "next time don't wear anything". :lol:

I get a kick out of someone at the age 19 writing his "memoirs". :lol: I don't find him looking very good these days. I watched the video that fact posted the link too and well, yuck! Maybe he just forgot to wash his hair when this pic was taken and he was interviewed!
