Well the show is over, nothing to see here move along. To my shock David Cook won the AI this year, and it was probobly one of the best years, I did want him to win but didn't think he had a chance against Archulato, even with 56% and over 9 million vote diffrence I wasn't sure he was going to win. I am glad he did, it was a story to be told, he went to support his brothers audition and ended up winning it, what a story. I think Archulato is also very good, I am sure he will end up doing something since he is only 17, only time will tell what happens to them, have not heard anything about Hicks or Sparks, thought both of them didn't desever it, but this year Cook did.
Cook was my favorite throughout the year...but I think one of my other favorites didn't even make the regular show...I think his name was Josh Leming or something like that, the kid who was living out of his car. I thought he was one of the best during the first rounds, and I was shocked that he didn't make the show. It's about time that a rocker has won! Taylor Hicks has disappeared as far as I know. I haven't seen him except I think once on Jay Leno or something. Jordin Sparks actually has had a couple very successful songs already. There's one that they play on the radio all the time - "No Air" I think it's called, and she's singing a duet (with Chris Brown?). -Gene
