American Idol Season 7 Winner: David Cook

AI is becoming ANTM. With Simon, Paula, and Randy becoming media icons, the winners themselves are going in and out of Hollywood. It seems like just yesterday Kelly Clarkson won the title from that curly haired guy and tried so hard to keep her new found fame.

Every year I stop watching as the singing improves providing myself with less chuckles and confusion at how a decent human being can sum up the courage to not only sing in front of the most judging nation in the world but also justify their howling with the fact that "well everybody else says I'm good". I'm sure Simon is suffering the same thing.

This year was no different. I haven't really followed AI thouroughly since Rubben Studdard and Clay Aiken and every time the winner is pronounced I just give the show a fraction of a second of my attention and then overlap that memory with something more important. Carrie Underwood is different because, as annoying as country music is, there's something about her voice, either too powerful or too annoying, that keeps me from forgetting her. Or maybe it's the fact that she seems to win in every single award show.

So this time, due to lack of writing and creativity, I had to involve myself in some AI shambuggle [okay I totally made that word up]. I did remember The Nanny, The Aussie, The Guy With The Really Flippy Hair & Attidude, David Archuleta, The Hallelujah Guy and more recently David Cook.

So why not, since I'm beginning to update this blog again [and again and again and again and again and again.....] to watch the Finale. This two hour finale consisted of many forgettable performances which made me switch numerous times to FashionTelevision's rerun of Top Model [Prep]. As I switched back, "Apologize" was on and it only made me realize, more now, the miracle of music technology because as great as the falsettos were at the end, the "Too Lateeeeee" was a bit bothering.

I switched again and switched back at about 5 minutes to watch George Michael, Paula this time not drunk but suffering from RLS or more like RAS because the woman was probably ten million times more enthusiastic than Simon will ever be or maybe the men on the show have been trained by special agents to be numb before the show's premiere.

Anyways, despite all that suspense David Cook won. Archuleta was visually upset and yes I can tell because people our age see that face way too often. It's that face when you get 99 percent in Algebra I and then get all dissapointed because you deserved that extra 1 percent. Archie should know that he already won. Even trailing 12 million votes, he already won. Now, in America, since people are just too good or too bad, being second means, big bucks and big parties AS WELL.

That's right, they always let a pirate win.

Hahahahaha. I'm tired, losing my patience and sense of humor, if I ever had one.
