I voted for David Cook 11 times last night
Over and over I called the number, fighting an occasional busy signal. Undaunted, I'd hit redial, intent on registering 10 votes. Then I added an extra one because I've always found the number 11 lucky.
...OK, i'm writing this in "real time." DAVID COOK JUST WON!!!!!!!!! I MUST admit, i'm stunned. Even though a lot of people had him winning in recent days, Lil' Archie still seemed to have some intangible "edge." I mean, he'd been coronated from day one. Maybe that worked against him? But let me say I actually like Archie. Some may say his "oh, gosh" stunned appreciation was an act, but I don't buy that. And I'm a hardened cynic. They both seem to be incredibly genuine people. They both have The Look. And, yes, they can both "sing the phonebook, baby." Lil' Archie's stagedad father kinda cast a bad pall over his reputation; hopefully, Archie won't be beaten tonight at the hotel. He probably already has a record contract...he'll be just fine. Cook's story is more rags-to-riches, while Archie's the stereotypical kid doing this his whole life.
Listen, this was the best final yet. EITHER one, as Simon said, technically would've been valid. They're both stars. But being i'm not a 12-year-old girl, my pick was David Cook. And I helped him win by over 12 million votes!! I had tears in my eyes when he won. Yes, you read right. And I don't care. It was a great, great moment...by a very decent human being. And I'm a fan of Decent Human Beings...getting everything they deserve. Basking in their reward for genuine talent and hard work. I'm very happy for both Davids. SEE how generous with my praise I can be? All of this surely sounds very cheesy to a lot of people. Whatever. I realize it's a TV show and no one I know. It's fun, though. Oh, I could go on, but I have things to tend to. Congratulations, David Cook!
