David C Crushes David A....American Idol

[rsmith6621]

Grown-up rocker David Cook has triumphed over smooth-voiced teen David Archuleta to become the new "American Idol."

While Archuleta was heaped with praise by the judges the night before, the voters decided otherwise -- and it wasn't even close. Host Ryan Seacrest said during Wednesday's show that 12 million votes was the difference.

Cook was overcome by emotion, bending toward the stage after his name was announced.


"This is amazing," he said. "This is all your fault," he added, addressing the brother who Cook had accompanied to the "Idol" audition that started it all.

4. People that care about American Idol have rotten taste

Does that spoil things for you? :P

[Tripper11]

5. Kind of...is there a cool/not cool list?

Just wondering? Seems we need to all think alike?? Yes?

6. No one's saying we all need to be alike.

Just that American Idol sucks.

8. It still doesn't mean one gets to ruin something for someone else

Really...you think it sucks, that's fine, let me know what you like so that I may put spoilers into the heading.
This always happens here from time to time..someone posts a score or result from something and others who may record the event end up finding something out they would have rather found out on their own.
Common courtesy is all I am asking....but whatever.

9. I'm inclined to agree with you...

But it's a silly TV show, it's not that big of a deal.

7. It's not about being cool

It's about valuing originality over pre-fab robots.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go play the Rock Band video game until my fingers bleed.

10. If anyone gave a crap abou American Idol

they would know the results by now.

So why the need for a spoiler alert?
