I think when you've got two talented vocalists to choose between, people are going to vote for the person they think will have the best opportunity to make a career of it. I think people chose Cook because he was older and eloquent, when Archie was young and shy. So I don't think the final vote was about who is the most talented singer. I'm glad they're both getting off to a great start in their individual careers and I guess to be honest I am glad that Archie is proving the naysayers wrong.
David Cook is so much better than the other.He has the versatility,pure talent,amazing voice,audience-interaction.....He can perform with his all-out talent...Never make excuses and accept the reality that America chose the right man....
I think Archuleta is a better vocalists, I would have loved for him to win, because I feel he needed it more, but Cook is in a different league. He is older and more experienced. He can out perform. This performance is masterful, I couldn't remember who first sang it. Kudos to Cook
Obviously, American Idol manipulate the results...Watch the judges comments, you will discern that they knew David Cook will win...and there is something fishy about it....Watch the final 2 again...and OBSERVE!
lol the results werent manipulated at all, cook won cuz hes got the voice, pure talent, personaltiy, versatality, and of course, his fans that got him to where he is! and no one knew who was gonna win- i mean how are they suppose to know who wins ahead of time? i think it was a surprise for all of us, including the judges. obviously, some of you archie fans still havent gotten over the fact that cook won and archie came in runner up, well they both got this far didnt they?
i think they are both winners! and i think some archie fans that still come on here dissing cook need to stop dwelling on it cuz where is that gonna get u? i highly doubt it will get u anywhere. actually it wont get u anywhere. instead of coming here dissing cook , go support archie, like go support his album or w/e, cuz the only thing ur doing by coming here and dissing cook is making archie look bad. seriously, your not helping urselves or archie by doing this. get over it already.
are you kidding me? i voted for him and so did lots of other people! i cant believe that people voted for archuleta. he is terrible. too breathy and nasaly...and all his songs are slow. DC can sing way better than archuleta ever will. DC is the total package.
@sydalee9433 i dont think he was TRYIN to be bono: dc was just being himself! i dont think it matters who sings it, i think dc did a good job on this song. go dc!

well yeah 12 million is a big number but do you know the ratio of the votes? 56% DC vs 44% DA. so still it was close... they are both good to be honest... let us not just put DA down... he deserve better....
david archuletta is nothing.. he has a decent voice.. his dads insane.. all he has is boyish looks which will fade and then what?? yeah so happy cook won.. he may actually do something with the music instead of a kid who just wants girls out of it.. cook is in it for the love of music
I cried during his performences b/c i was nervous and he was to, i feel wat he feels! i prqay fro him! i vot nonstop last noght! lets hope it helps him! I LOVE HIM!
theres an issue that the producers are gonna make david cook win... thats why the judges are on archuleta last night.. soo today it will be a shocking thing!
those judges were way off last night. David cook did just as good as archuleta and they said it was a knock out? they better clean out their ears before i do it for them. I <3 David cook
lol, he came right infront of the man with the golden ears and did his thing, let david cook have it man, david archuletta is sooo talented at 17 put 5 more years on this boy and he will totally tramp him.
Simon always saying DC is just making the most out of his songs. I think no one could do the best out of all DC's songs except him.. Common simon.. ^_^
i hope he'll win though i can hardly stand his air of arrogance towards the comments. Perhaps he should just keep it to himself and not showing the aptitute of being unpleased with the-not-so-fair-comments
I know what you mean, but I don't think it actually IS arrogance - I mean, they're all really nervous up there and I think David really only cares about Simon's comments, so until Simon has given his verdict David doesn't relax. Know what I mean?
If everyone listened to what Simon said last night, then David A will win, BUT i hope and pray that American remembers that David Cook has BROUGHT THE FREAKIN HOUSE DOWN ALL YEAR!!
After tonight only one of them will have the title of "American Idol", but neither will be going home a "loser"! These are 2 of the most talented young men I've seen and heard in a very long time! They are both going to have phenominal careers!
Archie may have won the night for the judges, but COOK WON THE ENTIRE TOURNAMENT!! COOK OUTPERFORMED Archie many times during the tournament. I can listen to an Archie song halfway. But I can listen to COOK songs again and again! VOTE VOTE VOTE
DA was better in the final...DC was more consistent and had a lot more memorable performances..it remains to be seen what mattered more..the knockout blow..or the fighter who never quit n delivered at every show..personally i vote DC for AI as he is more versatile and easily more talented than DA!
Please someone vote for him. I live in Canada, and I wish I could vote over and over for hours. Anything so that Archekiddy wont win! I love you! I missed AMerican Idol tonight because I was watching Narnia in the cinema. The movie was good but I was expecting it to be shorter. You are now my hero! Thank god for youtube!
Oh my god this is awful. I can't listen. sorry only made it to :40 seconds.
