Hello David, Goodbye Judges (finally) {American Idol 7}

DAVID COOK WINS! American Idol 7 Finale – Time Of My Life

DC beat Archie! And while singing his “Victory Lap” performance, viewers had to listen to the judges talk over This is the Time of My Life. I’m tired of the judges, tired of Seacrest, and tired of Coca Cola, and ready to hear DC in another venue!

David Cook’s performance worthy of Rock Hall venue {American Idol}

I started to feel as if I were in A Clockwork Orange watching American Idol last night; being forced to watch the red Coca-Cola trademark on a million TV screens when Ryan Seacrest interviewed finalists was mind-numbing. However, I was very impressed with David Cook’s soulful rendition of The Who’s classic Teenage Wasteland. Cook made this song “relevant” (to borrow a word from Paula Abdoul) for the times. I can actually admit I was wrong in my last post- an up-and-coming artist can perform a copy of an original recording. David Cook breathed new life into this old classic, claiming it for himself as a solo act. “He is back!” was all the judges had (thankfully) to say; the performance spoke for itself. Jason Castro did not sing that well this week and even Randy Jackson appeared offended. “That was a Karaoke BOMB,” said Jackson. He didn’t even say, “Karaoke bomb, DAWG.”

I have to end here… for some reason I feel that I need to drink a can of Coke.
