Simon Cowell turned out to be WRONG. Tuesday night he did everything possible to crown David Archuleta the new American Idol. He may be Simon’s guy but it turns out that David Cook won by a monumental margin of 12 million votes over his 17 year old competitor. Not even close folks.
We don’t know if the judges had any inkling on Wednesday evening that the tide had swelled for 25 year old Cook, but Cowell was immediately contrite at the start of the show and offered up an apology saying that he had viewed the show at home after Tuesday night’s performance and realized he may have been too clear cut in his pronouncements. Ya think?
Cook’s brother Adam, who is battling cancer, was on hand to see his brother win. He was instrumental in getting his bro David to try out for the Idol show and was clearly thrilled with the outcome. Full story of Adam HERE.
