I was supposed to write this entry after watching the finale. but i got too caught up with werk i decided to write later. plus, id like a decent review for myself, not a blabber. lmao.
anyway, omg i cant believe it. david cook won the idol! ive always had a gut feeling that david archuleta will win. prolly because hes young and most of the judges seem to favor him, plus he is marketable. cook, in contrary, looks trashed and as simon said: arrogant. but dude, rockers are arrogant and trashed!! how do you think ozzie osbourne survived? 
anyway, its cool that cook won. its a turning point because it opened the door for wannabe rockers. david cook is a rocker, while american idol is mostly for balladeers, pop-py singers (remember our fellow rocker brother bo bice?) for the first time, american idol and its voters seem to expound and accept different genre, considering rock is not ALWAYS an acceptable type of music for most people (especially not, God not, in a singing, polularity contest!). guess its time to teach simon cowell another type of music dont you think? (considering how cowell sorta distates it when cook sings a rock song unknown to him (joke). i mean, its cool that cook always manages to annoy simon by defying the “standards” of american idol; like not singing ballads and changing the “sound” of a certain music. but still he is able to maintain what the judges want: sticking to their themes (like when they were asked to sing opera/theatre songs under andew lloyd webber, and trying to sound original (as we know, when he sang mariah’s always be my baby). i have not seen anyone taking risks and ending up successful.
archuleta, on the other hand, also isnt that bad. his accomplishments aint so bad for a 17 year old, i must say. however, i like david cook more.
simon’s apology also was also an interesting part of the show. i listened closely to what he said, not only because i was curious to know what he realised what, but also since im rooting for cook, he’s offending me too dammit. anyway, im glad simon apologized to cook, he deserves it. but if i’ve half a brain, i think simon is either jealous or attracted to cook. haha
its also fun to see the other contestants again. good to see brooke white and michael johns. michael johns was great, too bad he was eliminated early on. he would have been great. ive always thought it would be him, cook and archuleta that would battle in the top 3.
anyway, the shows fun. loved it when cook played with zz top. very cool.
on another note, i just heard josiah leming, if you ever saw him from the first part of american idol (audition part), got a deal with warner brothers. not bad for a crying dude living in a car alone! i just hope this time, his parents know about the deal tho cause as i remember, his parents werent aware of his whereabouts. poor dude.
generally, the show was cool. it was cool seeing syehsa mercado doing duets with the great seal, and brooke white with graham nash.
by the way, i was so surprised to see how brian adams and george michael look so old! i mean, old. 
scary.
dude.
wish i can be like her. yihee.
