The World Makes Sense, Just for Tonight
Thankfully, David Cook won American Idol. After last night’s all-out performance by Archie, I was resigned to seeing the younger David winning the year. Perhaps Simon’s harsh comments actually motivated more viewers to come out on behalf of Mr. Cook. In any case, the right man won.
When I saw the finale was going to be two hours long, I had no intention of watching anything except the last 15 minutes. Of course, I ended up watching the whole thing, and it was actually enjoyable. It was nice to see members of the top twelve who hadn’t been around in a while, and most of the “star” appearances were tasteful.
But come on, be honest: Does anyone actually think that Mike Myers movie looks at all funny? The trailers are painful to watch.
That aside, tonight was the culmination of a good season. I’ll be back next year.
Now the summer season starts with tomorrow night’s kickoff of So You Think You Can Dance, which is actually one of my favorite reality shows.
Yeah, I watch too much TV. Hope my copy of Age of Conan gets here soon.

I agree that all was right with the world in David Cook winning AI. I was sure for a while that the insipid David Archuleta was going to win, it’s refreshing that the viewers saw through the hype to choose a real talent rather than a sappy boy-band wannabe.
I actually agree with Simon that I would have been fine with either winning, because they both are really good. It’s just that I see Archie singing showtunes on Broadway rather than singing pop songs on the radio like Cook can.
My only concern at this point is making sure the century-old lich that is Clive Davis doesn’t ruin Cook’s first album.
