David Cook - Time of my Life

So David Cook is the winner of the 2008 season of American Idol! It was an unexpected result, but a clear cut result at the end of the day, and David will now go on to release single "Time of my Life".

This song was written by professional song writer Regie Hamm, and recorded by both David's so that whichever one won, it could be released immediately.

We will be listing all of the various sites from which you can download or buy the American Idol CD on this site once we've tracked them down...

Season 7 Final: David Archuleta vs. David Cook

So, it's boiled down to the American Idol final that everybody was predicting: David against David! Syesha Mercado had a good run, making it all the way down to the top three contestants, but everybody always knew if she was in with a chance of the final, then it was a slim chance at best.

So, let's recap a little about the two finalists, before making our prediction of who is going to be the American Idol winner:

David Archuleta

17-year old David Archuleta is from Murray, UT and nearly never made it to American Idol due to paralysed vocal chords in his youth which could have stopped him from singing altogether. However, he overcame this, and in style too, with an outstanding run of great performances on the show. Stand out performance for AIF? "The long and winding road"...

Best comments of the competition: "You crushed the competition." (Simon about his 'Love me Tender' performance)

Worst comments of the competition: "That was a mess." (Simon, on his rendition of 'We Can Work it Out')



David Cook

David Cooks hails from Blue Springs, MO and has brought the 'rockier' element to the fore again, in a similar way to Chris Daughtry. Whether things will go the same way for him as they did fo"r Chris (i.e. second place, but then faaaaarrr more successful in his musical career than the winner) remains to be seen, but he has definitely come in to form at the right time.

Best comments: "David Cook wins the night." (Simon on the pre-final performance of 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing')

Worst comments: "Just above average." (Simon, again, on his performance of 'I'm Alive')

So, who do we think will be the 2008 American Idol Winner? Whether it's the right result or not, we expect Mr Archuleta to walk away with the crown (the granny vote will carry it...)
