This is the only season of AI where I watched every episode from the auditions to the finale, and supported this man ‘til the very end. Great job man!!!
Same here on Idol! I voted every episode for him and it was the only time I voted an entire season as well!! …(and on X-Factor USA’s first season I had voted for Chris Rene every episode.) Those are the only two seasons, both different shows but both 2 out of 3 the same judges. (Paula & Simon) LA Reid was X-Factor & then Randy obviously this one. They both are amazing & Genius winners~ 👍🏼 C.R. should hv won XF, even tho he got third he was the real winner!! I love them both~ David shows a lot of class here inviting Archie to come sing 🎤 with him~ and applauding him too! Wow!
I absolutely love and support every move this man makes. Not only is he an amazing singer he is truly a great man. He definitely deserves the world. He doesn't have a cocky attitude ever! I wish more people would share his newer stuff.
I've watched every season and this one from 2008 is my absolute favorite! I was so happy when David Cook won. I continue to listen to his work today. He does wonderful interviews and is truly a multi talent. We have seen him in concert a few times and also seen his Broadway performance in Kinky Boots.
I wonder if DC ever goes back & looks at this video much? I also wonder if he looks and sees how proud his brother is of him, not to mention of course ... his entire family!! So kool! I am so in love with him, his voice & just his entire demeanor. So awesome him including David A. & the others in on the last song as much as he could. Showed a lot of respect & maturity. He’s a true gentleman 100% and really raised right! These kind of men are 1 in a million. I could watch this over & over & over again!!! (I remember voting for him every week, every song won my heart over) I pray he never gives up singing...
I was part of the D Squared group so I think this finale is the best one because I love both finalist evenly. How could you not love Archie? Or Cookie? Great guys, great show!
Hey David cook u made it on the top and for sure family friends of yours will be proud of u ,the time of your life. Your moment always been waiting fulfilled your a winner You congratulation from mylene makati city idol crush we love U
Kung sa Pilipinas to nangyare at mag a- announce grand winner tapos magkaparehong name pa ang dalawang grand finalist siguro mahabang pa-suspense ang mangyayare bago masabi ung winner. Pero si Ryan naman kasi parang nagmamadali na eh. Walang p-suspense. Hahah
Many audiences, including me, were expecting for Archie. Even Simon preferred Archie, as evident during the performace night. But at the result night, Simon apologized for his previous statement before announcement. So he was not shocked hearing the announcement.
Me too. But when Cook sang his winning song, I could accept his winning. Now, his winning song and Always Be My Baby have been on my laptop since I downloaded several years ago. Actually I downloaded Archie studio version of "Smokie Mountain Memories" because I liked it, but it is not on my laptop.
He has had official social media accounts, for quite some time. Has put out 3 albums (which includes, his self titled debut album). 1 EP, & *ANOTHER... Coming Out, in a Couple Weeks. ;)
When American Idol still crowns a worthy winner.
To this day, such a beautiful moment. It never loses its magic & neither does David. Who’s listening in 2023? 🙋🏼♀️
Me! I love David Cook! ❤️
David cook will always be my american idol crush
Mine too! 100%
Same
Still gives me goosebumps how great a moment was that

❤ he is increible
i remember watching this live & i had my fingers crossed & said “please be cook” over & over
David Cook was the absolute best choice.
I agree, but would've been fine with Smithson or Johns winning as well had either of them made the finale.
Greatest battle in AI. Both Davids are vocal gods!
One of the greatest moments on tv, imho! Wow!

Kung sa Pilipinas to nangyare at mag a- announce grand winner tapos magkaparehong name pa ang dalawang grand finalist siguro mahabang pa-suspense ang mangyayare bago masabi ung winner. Pero si Ryan naman kasi parang nagmamadali na eh. Walang p-suspense. Hahah
One of the Best Season of AI!
Still great wish I could hear more!!
The song is so awesome
RIP one contestant behind david cook who come from Australia
Michael John. I totally loved him. RIP.

@@tanaburgard1302 oh sad to hear that
HE'S SOOOOOOOO HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2020 repet

American Idol went downhill Season 9 and beyond
I was kinda mad that David cook won. David cook. is ok. I thought it will be David aruchuleta. David cook. is a rock singer. go David cook
Me too. But when Cook sang his winning song, I could accept his winning. Now, his winning song and Always Be My Baby have been on my laptop since I downloaded several years ago.
Actually I downloaded Archie studio version of "Smokie Mountain Memories" because I liked it, but it is not on my laptop.
+Sarili nya Po bang composition Yan? Sobrang ganda kasi Ng meaning Ng kanta everytime I listen to this song it made me cry 😭
Hindi po.. may contest for song writing ang AI din nun, tapos yung nanalong song, yun yung kakantahin ng winner sa finale
And ent never here anything about him now
He has had official social media accounts, for quite some time. Has put out 3 albums (which includes, his self titled debut album). 1 EP, & *ANOTHER... Coming Out, in a Couple Weeks. ;)
*Not To Mention... A VERY Solid/LOYAL (&, MUCH ‘Deserved,’ Fanbase!) ;)
ALSO... An Album *(BEFORE, American Idol).
Unfortunately, the runner up David is shining more than him these days...
david archuleta was the winner. i did not know how they made that decision. its a biased decisionn period.
david archuleta was a baby face fangirl magnet.
