David Cook has won. Alas, a friend and my ‘popular culture’ nights have come to an end. Through this year’s Am Idol season she would pop over, sometimes with her two dogs, we would order in some butter chicken and then judge the contestants (my friend, rather harshly).
The other night I stayed over at her place, and one of the little blithers slept with his little, jet black head glued to my back, all night. It was really endearing.
Personally, I had a soft spot for little 17-year old David. He sings with such feeling and passion, it’s as if he believes every word he is singing.
UPDATE: David Cook displayed copious amounts of EQ throughout the season. Even in his moments of glory or anticipation he always seemed aware of little David’s presence and disposition. Such a heartfelt hug when he was declared a winner, and moments before this moment he had his arm around little David. Seemed like a nice equation missing from earlier seasons.
