Cook Is the New Idol

This is my favorite American Idol moment...Cook sobbing in thanksgiving and disbelief that he was this season's winner. Performance night has been tough for Cook, since almost all the judges were only giving him "good" comments as opposed to the "awesome" comments received by David Archuleta. One would have thought Simon's comments would greatly affect the votes, but it didn't. America voted...and they have chosen wisely....
It is also worth noting that the finals night was able to showcase the kind of talents Idol had for this season. Brook White performing with Graham Nash, Syesha Mercado belting it out with Seal, Jason Castro doing one of his most applauded renditions - Hallelujah, Carly Smithson and Michael Johns singing "She Wrote Me a Letter", the six male finalists singing "Summer or 69" and the six female finalists sang Donna Summer hits.
Season 7 ended with David Cook singing this year's Idol song "Time of My LIfe"....Now that's what I call sexy!
