And the winner is ...

I just wanted to remind everyone that I called it ... I said that it would come down to a battle of the David's and that David Cook would be the next American Idol ... and he is!! I know many of you are Archuleta fans, but I'm a huge David Cook fan. I think he is unique and extremely talented. I think his voice has a certain edge to it that I enjoy listening to. I also think that he is a very humble person. He took criticism very well and used it to become better. Don't get me wrong, David Archuleta also has an amazing voice, very Josh Grobanish. But I think overall David Cook is the right choice!

To my adorable 5 year old niece, Kaylee, who called me after the show to tell me good job, but couldn't talk because she had to "get the tears to dry out of her eyes," and my 7 year old nephew, Kadin, who was so upset that he "felt so sick," I am so sorry. For you two alone I wish that David Archuleta had won. But just remember that sometimes it is better to take 2nd place than 1st. (Ever heard of Ruben Studdard? ... No? ... Exactly my point!) You two are adorable and when David Archuleta has a concert you can be certain that I will take you!

Now, next post topic ... should 5 and 7 year olds be watching reality television? ... :)

Not if its American Idol. Any of the fine cable reality shows should be fine.

Yes you did call it Diane. Did you call in 12 million times? Did you convince your swim students to stay up past their bedtimes to vote for David Cook.

So my mom, of all people, has been bugging me to come over and watch her TiVo snippets of every single David Cook performance and I kept ignoring her. She finally wore me down and I watched his performance videos in iTunes...and fell completely in love with him (I hate it when she's right).

So I totally watched both shows (what's with two nights and two shows each week, btw?) this week in my hotel room. How's that for a girl who doesn't watch tv?! That's the talent of David Cook. Yum-my. Can't wait for his solo tour concerts...that'll be me in the front row rockin' out.
