David Cook is your Idol: Did America get it right?

May 23, 2008, 06:53 PM | by Michael Slezak

Categories: 'American Idol', Idolatry

Kristen Baldwin and I answer that question, and ponder the fates of the two Davids, on the Idolatry season finale. Press play, then weigh in with your own thoughts on the Idol season in the comments section below. And don't forget to check back next week for video interviews with Syesha Mercado, Mr. Cook, and Mr. Archuleta. (Oh, and can we get three million snaps for Idolatry producer Jason Averett? Without him, there would be no Wonder Woman, no Mechagodzilla, no Bambi...none of the 5 hours, 18 minutes, and 34 seconds of Idolatry magic we've posted on EW.com over the last five months. I'm not sure if he's slept or eaten since January, which makes his special brand of genius all the more impressive!)

In a sense it was rigged. David Cook sold more copies of the songs he recorded on idol on i-tunes. The almighty dollar rules the day. Singing covers of other's songs though, really has no bearing on the success or failure of a career. I hope they both do well. There's room enough for more than one idol a year in the music world, Just take it from Daughtry, Aiken, Hudson and others who have had some measure of success without becoming the american idol.

Crush is over 1.5 mil in sales and and went platinum in 15 weeks. With no promotion. It took twice as long for coronation song of Cook to get to platinum. As for the album, Cook's album is in unlimited amount in every book/music store. Archuleta's album sell out in 5 min and stores all over the country stay out of stock for weeks. So dont compare sales. If Jive would ship more albums to the stores the sales would be higher for Archuleta. And Archuleta's tour sold out in 5 min. An I am talking about all venue, not just floor seats like in Cook's case. Archuleta was invited to sing national anthem all over at big event like President inauguration or ProBowl. Right now Archuleta does so many cherity events and uses his name as real IDOL should. He helps raise money for kids in India, US, he is the spokesperson for Do Something's 2009 disaster relief grants.

Please people! I strongly believe they both will have sucessful careers. The only other thing David Cook won that Archie didn't was the title of the winner of Season 7. Either way, they both got contracts. Why argue about the little things?

Why pick on David Cook? He Won fairly. Get over it. It's because I preferred his voice over the choir voice of David Archuleta. They have two different styles. David Cook is a rocker, which I prefer. David Archuleta sings more of the pop stuff. It really doesn't matter anymore who won because both got their contracts and both are on the radio.

Kisa the Great Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 11:00 AM EST

Ok, guys. First of all, people need to move on. David Cook won, David Archuleta lost. No matter what happens they'll both be very sucessful. Second of all, Season 8 has started, so this is a big red flag waving telling us to stop talking about Season 7. OK? IT'S OVER! Thirdly, it looks like half of you haven't exactly been taught respect. If you were famous and you saw the things you are saying about David Cook, except for targeted at YOU, how would you feel (And don't even say that you'd shrug it off because frankly, nobody can really do that without walking away with a scar). I love both of the Davids and frankly, I wanted them both to win, but that was 9 months ago, and I'm focusing on this season.

NOW WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AND YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH - TO SUM IT UP AMERICAN IDOL IS JUST FOR THE MONEY.


FOR AMERICA KNOWS THAT DAVID COOK IS NOT THE RIGHTFUL WINNER AND HE IS NOT THE EPITOME OF THE TRUE AMERICAN IDOL.


THEY CAN PUT ALL THE MONEY THEY WANT TO PROMOTE COOK - AMERICA WON'T BUY IT AND AT THE END OF THE DAY HE IS A LOOSER.


YOU CAN FOOL AMERICA ONCE BUT YOU CANNOT FOOL THEM ALL THE TIME.

SO I HOPE AMERICA WILL STOP BEING A SUCKER AND STOP PATRONIZING THIS SHOW - THEY LACK CREDIBILITY AND TO MUCH CONTROVERSY ON THIS SHOW.


AND IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON.

THAT IS WHY IT IS STILL BEING TALKED ABOUT AND ITS STILL SOMETHING TO TALKED ABOUT AND SEASON 8 ALREADY STARTED.

AMERICA DON'T BELIEVE HE IS THE RIGHTFUL WINNER - FOR THEY KNOW ITS RIGGED !

DAVID COOK IS NOT THE EPTOME OF THE TRUE AMERICAN IDOL IN THE FIRST PLACE - FOR HIS SMUG, ARROGANT AND NO CHARISMA AND I DON'T HEAR HIS CD IS BEING PLAYED IN THE RADIO AT ALL.

HIS MANAGEMENT IS TRYING HARD TO PROMOTE HIM BUT IT IS NOT WORKING - IT JUST A SAD PLIGHT.

I have attended 4 diff american idol tour concerts in 3 states. 2 in utah that is where I live. My home is in the south. I met all the idols, got autographs, had a great time. I was so embarrassed for David Cook when a few fools booed David Archuleta. They are both great singers and above all good examples and people. I can tell you David Archuleta is a typical Utah teenager. I am proud that we didn't have any fools dare hurt Cooks feelings in Utah. We know its ok to be kind and supportive of BOTH.

archiefan11 Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 11:29 PM EST

I love ya David A...all things happen for a reason, I know that now. Archuleta is the cream of the crop. His pure, rich tone and his true passion for music just comes to life when he sings! You are a legend in the making David!

archiefan11 Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 11:26 PM EST

I love ya Archie, but all things happen for a reason! And look at you now! Archuleta is a legend in the making!

POOR GUY ! Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 10:33 PM EST

Cook say: Please don't over sell me, don't over praise me, don't over glorify me to much. I cannot keep it up with you all - You are just putting to much pressure on me. Just leave me alone. I am not an amazing singer; I am just a loud rocker. Please, please stop this craziness.

WHERE IS YOUR BRAIN Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 09:34 PM EST

YOU KEEP OVER SELLING MR. COOK HE IS NOT A NOVICE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW HE IS OVER-RATED AND OVER-COOK. HE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS WITH A BAND FOR A LONGTIME AND ALREADY HAS A RECORDING CONTRACT BEFORE - BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T WORK. DON'T TRY SO HARD SELLING COOK OUT OF DESPERATION IT WILL TURNED OFF A LOT OF PEOPLE INSTEAD YOUR HELPING THE PERSON YOUR RUINING HIS CAREER.

valene Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 07:51 PM EST

I only watched American Idol this year because of ARCHULETA. Cook was entertaining. But to say, he was just a bartender and all of a sudden he is a talented rocker, give us a break. Some of us are over 35+ years old. Cook is 25 years old and has been part of bands since he was 15, needless to say he had his own CD out. Archuleta at 17 was the winner of star search competition. I don't see the relevance here. American Idol is geared towards the new comer in the music business, not the established singers who could never secure a music contract. Really now. I voted for Archuleta. My whole family watched the show and Archuleta amazed us every week. Cook is a rocker. To say he is unique, please people don't insult our intelligence. He sang other people's songs, he could not reach the high notes without being LOUD and louder than the others, oh yes, he plays the guitar very well. Well, he has been playing in bands since 15 years old. Just what this world needs, another rock louder artist.

chasee Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 07:43 PM EST

Well it all depends what type of music you prefer. I am 40 years old and already own most successful rocker music. Cook is still just another loud rocker with guyliner. Sorry not my cup of tea. On the contrary, DAVID ARCHULETA's voice MOVES MY SOUL with his voice and VOCAL PERFECTION! I wish them both well. But I voted for ARCHULETA and already have his new single, video CRUSH is AMAZING! Can't wait for his CD in November. And did I say LOUD and LOUDER music is not for ME??? Sorry! Cook is LOUD! AI wanted to add another rocker and they got one. He is no Daughtry, just another new rock artist. I am sure he will do well with all the single women that dream of dating him and the older fans who still fantasize of being with rockers. GO DAVID ARCHULETA. He is MY AMERICAN IDOL!

bj Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 10:55 AM EST

The proper question is not "Did America get it right", but Did the Producers get it right? American Idols results are obviously manipulated to achieve whatever outcome the producers want. From scripted comments from "judges", to "surprise" contestant eliminations, to voting results that are never verified or disclosed. The producers at AI have successfully created a TV juggernaut. Do you really think they are going to let the idiots of America choose the "American Idol"?

pane Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 07:36 AM EST

Comparing both David is like comparing between Apple and Orange. It doesn't make sense. Cook has way more experiences, records, playing with his band, arranging songs etc,....and not to mention that he is way older than Archie (8 years older). His voice is already stabil, while Archie is 8 years younger, has only one vocal cord, less experinces the only experience was when he was 12 years old (again 12 years old)on Starch search. And with all those negativities stated by Naomi Judd, and others during the American Idol while he was competing......I don't think that we need to compare those two Davids. But one think for sure, Archie has a big heart and the wisdom to accept what people throw to him and go on and to me that's mazing .......he is still so young and yet he is so mature. I don't know if Cook was even near Archie when he was 17 years old. So stop comparing those two......it doesn't make any sense at all.

Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 04:58 AM EST

OF COURSE, AMERICA GOT IT RIGHT! THE MAN IS HIGHLY TALENT, WRITES MUSIC AND HAS AN AWESOME VOICE WITH A 4 OCTAVE RANGE. HE CAN CHANGE UP A FAILING SONG AND MAKE IT A HIT! COOK DEFINATELY DESERVED TO WIN. HE WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHOW AND WHY MANY EVEN BOTHERED TO WATCH IT THIS YEAR.

IT TIME TO MOVE ON Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 10:55 PM EST

TO BE HONEST THE WRONG DAVID WON IF YOU ASK ME. IF ITS RIGHTFULLY HIM WHY IS THIS STILL BEING TALKED ABOUT UNTIL NOW. IT MEAN TO SAY NOT ALL PEOPLE IN AMERICA AGREED WITH IT TO SAY THE LEAST - ONLY GOD KNOWS THE TRUTH AND THE CULPRIT WHO RIGGED THE RESULT - MAJORITY OF AMERICA FEEL THEY WERE CHEATED, BUT ITS TIME TO MOVE ON IT WON'T DO ANY GOOD AT ALL. YOU ARE JUST MAKING DAVID COOK INSECURE - PSYCOLOGICALLY NO MATTER WHAT DO.

To Justathought.

It wasn't just, Hello and Always Be My Baby that were ORIGINAL David Cook arrangements.

Little Sparrow was his own arrangement and both of the songs written for the song contest were his own arrangements. For his first single, he took a country song, written from a girl's perspective and turned it into a Top 40 hit.

Mike and Jason --- Brilliant job all season -- This clip was the best of all. Great recap with a twist -- I still laugh every time I watch it.

David A looks like the MAD Magazine charachter cover boy - and in a few years, as he ages his voice will change..
David Cook has an amazing rock voice - and as for comments on original arrangements, please! Female contests get up and try and sing like Whitney Houston, or some other diva all the time.
