16. I was shocked when David Cook won. I thought for sure that Archueta would get it based on the praise and other babble about how great he was. I'm sure Archuleta will have a great future ahead of him. He's still young enough and talented enough to go very far if he makes the right choices and can somehow expand his range and grow with the types of material he's given. David Cook, on the other hand, will go just as far. I'm glad he won. I was hoping he'd win. He's very talented, has range and isn't afraid to take chances with his song selection, which will give him a far greater appeal to music buyers. Best of luck to them both. David and David, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars (to quote a guy whos name I can't remember). God blessed you both with a wonderful gift. Use it well.

17. David A. did not win due to his age..................the child could not even form a sentence without getting embarrassed! I am not an AI fan but, I did watch last night and really enjoyed the show.

20. Anyone who would compare Archuletta to Josh Groban is obviously not a singer.

21. The right David won! I'm so happy!
David Archuletta is a dorky teenybopper.
I see him on Disney, not as the American Idol.
PLUS, EVERY song he sang sounds the same.
Way to go DC!!!!!!!!!

22. Idol has been so predictable. Even though David A. totally outsung David C, it was obvious Idol was going to give the win to David C. I thought it was a singing contest??? Everybody knows that Cook totally sung off key tons of times, while Archuleta ALWAYS sang in tune. ALWAYS! What a shame that it ended that way. And I totally DON'T believe the public voting has anything to do with it. It is a big set up. But only Idol should try to get it right for a change. First Taylor Hicks, now this???? Terrible show!

23. Everybody loves a good bartender, myself included.

This was a true Cinderella story. Congratulations to David Cook, and best wishes to his struggling brother. God Bless.

24. Woo-hoo!! SOOOOO glad to see David Cook won! He is a very talented performer that is ready for the studio and ready for the radio....we can't wait to buy his CD. TMZ, more Cook PLEASE!!
And to American Idol, best finale EVER. Good job!

25. Cook rocked the house with every performance. America was ready for a rocker this time around. I give both performers credit for great talent, but in my opinion...the right guy won this time around. Congratulations David....I look forward to your first album.

26. I agree with number 5--The first time I see him rubbing suntan lotion on Lindsay Lohans freckles is the day I forget about him--Stay away from drining and drugs---dont ever go to re-hab----just stay grounded--

27. david archuleta had the richer voice. his voice was multifaceted, cooks voice is very very common.

28. DC did NOT rock the house with every song he sang! Lets at least be real....

I think both Davids are winners, both deserved to be in the final 2! Based on the top 12 performances last night.... it was so obvious why the others were VOTED OFF! Leaving the DAVIDS left standing!

Posted at 9:55AM on May 22nd 2008 by Congrats Davids

29. YES I am so happy it was not Archie YES YES

30. David A has the personality of a snail. A young kid with no personality that could never answer any questions without turning all Gomer Pyle like. No doubt he is very talented, just not ready to be America's Idol...
