So, I've been looking forward to the Season 7 Finale like you would not believe... I'm sure my colleagues at work are looking forward to the day when I finally shut up already about Idol and the politics going on with this show and how much I love Jason Castro and David Cook...
Well, David Cook just became our American Idol, like, 1/2 hour ago, so I won't be shutting up any time soon... well, at least not for a ocuple days.
I'll give you more of my opinions about the Finale this weekend... I'm heading to the movie theater in about 1/2 hour to get seats for our mini posse for the first screening of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull... but right now, it's IDOL TIME!!
As we all already know, I have been rooting for David Cook since he first sang at his audition. Last night after the last time both he and little David sang, I called for 2 hours solid (I didn't always get through, but I figured at least that meant other Wordnerds were voting for him too... BTW, I'm not an official "Wordnerd" in David's fan club, but I've been doing crossword puzzles every day for the last 2 years - yep, before my love for David Cook [what can I say, I loves me some crossword puzzles], so I'm a Wordnerd all on my own).
And then tonight, oh glorious night of Idol, you crowned my favorite Idol contestant EVER, our new American Idol. WOO HOO
The Finale on a whole was sub-par, and I thought George Michael's song was going on a bit too long there... by time we got back from the last commerical break, it was 9:57 here. Luckily, the show spilled over until 10:06ish, so my man Cook could have his moment, shed some tears, hug his mom and sing another lame Idol Songwriting competition winner...
But just before Ryan read the results, Simon Cowell did one of the nicest things he's done while on the show - he apologized to David Cook for treating him disrespectfully the previous night. For those of you who watched David sing his heart out and then the judges rip his song choices apart, you know what Simon is talking about. It. Was. Harsh.
But all is forgiven, I'm sure. David Cook had 12 million more votes than little David, and he won fair and square. Props to little David Archuleta... he took his loss like a man. He didn't cry, he didn't make mean faces or storm off - he seemed genuinely happy for his pal David Cook. He is an upstanding citizen, and it takes a lot to have that kind of composure after being hailed as the Front Runner the entire season, only to have someone else walk away with the Grand Prize. But he'll be okay...
Well, I will write more eloquently later... I'm just too excited from Cook winning the Idol and the countdown to seeing Indy 4 in less than an hour and a half (!)
Have a great day!
