. . . you David Cook fans - I really hope you're happy because you have caused much grief and sorrow in this household! So all you moms with your David Cook crushes {Janae} and {Katie}- all I can say is, "what about the children?" When you were pushing those buttons to vote for DC, did you not think about the thousands upon thousands of 10-17 year old girls who would watch in heartbreak as David Cook's name was announced as the winner?
Sadly, I was not even there to comfort my girls when that heartbreaking moment occurred because they went to Brinley's house for an American Idol Party - certain that David Archuleta would come out victorious. I was not there to see the utter shock & disappointment on their little faces or to wipe away the tears that streamed down their red cheeks or to hug them and tell them it would all be OK. Brad shared these most sympathetic words with Madi & Katie, "now you know how I feel when Tiger Woods doesn't win the Masters." Oh, I'm sure that made them feel a lot better, daddy! And today - they had to complete their last day of standardized testing - I hope they can concentrate! I doubt they will skew the scoring just because David Archuleta lost!
In reality - it's probably better that David A. didn't win. (just don't tell Madi I said that!) He's still so young, and his life would never be "normal" again - although it most likely won't be normal now, either. Also, I don't think David A. is as ready to be a celebrity (if there is such thing as being ready) as David Cook. Ready or not, I am sure we will hear from both of them again! I just wish I could convince my girls of that.
My high points from last night's show -
1- David C's arm around David A - over the past several shows it appears to me that David C. has taken little David under his wing & watches over him as a big brother. If this is truly the case, I think it's very sweet.
2. The Davids singing together
3. Jack Black - what a hilarious "pip"!
4. David Cook's "Risky Business" Guitar Hero commercial - he definitely seemed more comfortable in this role than little David.
5. Brooke White & Graham Nash singing "Teach Your Children Well"
6. David Cook's "last" song - The Time of My Life
My low points from last night's show -
1. The love guru
2. George Michael - what was with the song that seemed to never end and those sun glasses, and Paula crying - did I miss something? I didn't get it at all!
3. Not getting to hear David Archuleta's "last" song - which all the other idols who got voted off were able to perform.

OK...I admit I am sad for the girls. We had a lot of unhappiness here last night. I agree Archeleta is too young. This really is probably best for him. And, seeing D.C. is a perfect American Idol it all worked out in the end:)
i love david archuleta!!!! i made 2 shirts and a bag that said i love david archuleta, and it's written on my binder, sticky notes, and anywhere else where you could write i love david a, and i voted for him a ton! when he got out you can just "imagine" -one of his songs- how devestated i was, too!
I was wondering why paula was crying too. So bizarre. I tried to call Madi and give her a heads up (my sister on the east coast already told me who won) but I couldnt bring myself to dash the hopes of a love struck archie fan. Poor girl!!
I finished watching AI this morning while I worked out, and I swear, the first thing I thought was "Madi must be heartbroken." I agree with George Michael - what?? That was the big finale?
