Voters Make Cook the Latest American Idol

I predicted David Archuleta would beat David Cook and I was wrong, wrong, wrong.

My expectations for David Cook were a lot different than what transpired. I really believed he would be out before the top six or seven. Jason Castro fared a lot better than I expected too. What do I know, I guess.

I really thought Michael Johns was one of the strongest Idol performers this season, but he left way earlier than anticipated, in my mind anyhow.

Anyhoo, congratulations to David Cook for winning it all. Hopefully, these guys can come into some great material to record. It seems like there's more talent than good songs these days. A lot of past Idol greats are suffering for it.

American Idol's producers really need to step up and generate some good music for their proteges. Great recordings would improve the American Idol brand, and give the show more credibility. Right now, past winners seem to have more success on the show than in the recording industry. That can be corrected.
