David Cook is the next American Idol!

Congratulations to David Cook on winning the title! I couldn't see the competition going any other way, and the judges said that the contest was more equally matched than they indicated on the performance night. It was an amazing season of talent and I hope to hear more from the contestants in the future as they pursue their music careers, especially Cook, David Archuleta, Syesha Mercado, Michael Johns and Carly Smithson.
