61. I voted for David Cook. The phones were so busy I voted only 5 times. I think that the other David didn't win because of the time of the voting. All of his fans had to go to bed while David Cooks fans stayed up until 11:00 pm voting.

62. I liked both David A and David C. The one thing I noticed about David Cook, week after week, was how David C would always put his hand on the shoulder of the eliminated contestant to show his support of them as they were singing their final song. Now that is compassion. For everyone here to bash either David is truly disrespectful to the other David. They both seemed to have affection for each other and all the nasty comments are truly uncalled for. They both have immense talent and BOTH will do well in the future. Good luck and God Bless them both!

63. I think American Idol like other shows should limit how many times you can vote. That way you don't have to continue to vote over and over again only to get a busy signal.

64. DAVID COOK DESERVED TO WIN!!!!! It's about time that someone who actually deserved to win, won AI!!! Yes, David A. is a good singer but every song he sings sounds exactly the same. He always sings slow songs and it gets played out! I also agree with "David Cook al the way". If Daughtry was so awful why is he more successful that 1/2 of the idols that won??? Daughtry deserved to win Season 5, but instead they wasted the AI title on Hicks (what a waste). David Cook is a hell of allot more talented than Archulletta. He can sing, write and play music, and everything he sings sounds great. WAY TO GO DAVID COOK!!! I look forward to buying your records!!

66. anonymousmug - R U serious? That is the biggest load of BS I've read here in a long time. Get over it, he lost because he wasn't better then Cook. He couldn't win. Stop using race an excuse to be a slacker and realize the issue is you or the person who isn't doing well.

Your Rock David Cook!

68. David A was a horrible entertainer, not to mention so young. His voice will probably change and not sound as decent as it does now. None of his songs were original. He forgot the words a couple of times. Was generic in aswering questions... was simply boring. David Cook should have won because it was a talent based comp. he did everything defferently and proved he was a real "Idol". I mean at a David A concert i would fall asleep... cause all he does is stand there with his hand out like he is in church...

74. Hey anonymousmug, couldn't understand your comment cuz I don't know where to push #1 to read the FN English version!

75. I think the math of the matter speaks volumes. If David Cook got 12 m more votes than Archie, and the vote total was 97 m, then Archie got 42.5 m and Cook got 54.5 m.

It wasn't even close. And Paula, Randy, and Simon's votes are only worth 3. That's it, so no matter what they did or said, they weren't really going to affect the outcome of the finale. Did Archie sing better that night? Yes, did he win the season?

NOPE. He's 17, and has a long way to go before he's ready to take on the music industry. Too much daddy influence also hurt him with voters.

Helicopter parents is what we call them. If Jeff Archuletta wants David to get to the next level, he needs to let a professional assume the role as coach and mentor now.
