American Idol David Cook Is Winner

Well we have our winner...Dave Cook is your Season 7 American Idol winner and I don't mean to brag...but I called it. As you'll find, I'm usually right. If by chance I'm not, I'll pretend to be anyway.


After one of the most entertaining AI episodes ever including performances by ZZ Top and One Republic, Cook walks away with the season 7 victory and a soon-to-be forthcoming album. We'll have to wait to see what direction his career takes and if it's more Clay Aikenish or Chris Daughteryish but I'm hoping for the latter.


Daughtery was the first "rocker" to make a splash in pop American music after being an Idol contestant and went on to put out the fastest selling rock album ever. You can bet that 19 Entertainment, Simon Cowell and the powers that be will take Cook down a similar road. With American Idol ratings still growing and setting records, it's instant popularity for these artists before they even see a recording studio. So congrats to Cook and we look forward to seeing him in the future.


Rock n' Roll,
