I'm REALLY sad too that DA didn't win the title because he soooo deserved it. After the tour he will have a lot more freedom now to record the CD and the kind of songs he's always wanted to write and record. I heard there are record producers just waiting to sign up our David. Can't wait for this summer and counting the days until we see him on tour SINGING IN PERSON!!

WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU DAVID AND WE WILL BE LISTENING!!! WE ARE SOOOO PROUD OF YOU!!

I STILL LOVE ARCHULETA
hes always a winner no matter what
ilh<3

COOK.
yay! congrats. im kinda angry..but he deserved it too!

Just be proud guys the both Davids deserve it.

You guys heard it Season 7 is the most famous and big season in idol history and breaking the world records of 97 million votes is already an achievement for both Davids.

so even David Cook won the title, David Archuleta is also a winner.

I cant wait for their albums guys :D

COOKIE!!!????????
WTF AMERICAN IDOL!!!
ARCHIE SHOULD BE THE WINNER!!!!

David Archuleta is still a winner!!!
Congrats for being in the top 2 w/ David Cook!!!
I prayed last night and after I woke up....
Congrats!!!
Love ya!!!

man when my friends find out they are going to make me so mad by making fun of me and now i cant stop listening to archie sing because it is stoping me from thowing a complete fit in front of the year 11 english class and that would be bad because i am year 13 (in my last year of high school) and then they would make even more fun of me than they already do

ARCHIE!!!
YOU'RE STILL A WINNER TO US!!
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY!!!

*raises hand*

i know! i cant wait for archie to come out with a cd!

Guys, remember what Paula said? This is not the ending, but only the beginning :)

Archie was sooooo cool right up to the very last moment. Cook was all jitters. I just think Archie knew, and decided to take it like man. He was a class act all the way. I'm so impressed with the little dude.

For some reason, I feel sad as hell, but calm. Not bc I don't care about Archie, but becuz I just had a gut feeling all day.

PLEASE READ!
Dont stop watching AI just because Archie didn't win!
Its OK!
He did win!
To be as young as he is and win 2nd on one of the top competitive shows in the US?! That's amazing!
We'll hear him on the radio and AROUND THE WORLD soon!!

I saw "Runner Up" on the top of the page and started crying again.

But Archie, you're always a winner to us and we always have your back! ArchAngels LOVE you.

Well, most people, including myself aren't going to watch not because he lost, but because of how rigged it's been proven to be.

Omg. David A. didn't win. I'm crushed. But he's still my American Idol. I love you David. We all love you. Just keep doin' your thing and always keep your head held high. I love you. <3

Oooooo, and guess what?

This means Archie's CD will come out alot faster then Cook's! Buahahahaha.

*can't wait*

SO SAD!!!!
I literally feel like killing myself!

Um how the hell did Archie get behind by 12 million votes?!?!??!

David will do fine! Can't wait for his cd !
WE LOVE YOU DAVID YOU ARE OUR AMERICAN IDOL

well said

ai may be over but i'm sure i'll dash to the music store once his first album gets released... i'm sure we'll see a lot of great things coming from david a.

wow... alright well i have a
field trip tomorrow with a bunch
of Cook fans... ohh joyy
soo im gonna go to sleep to
wake up to a day of hell tomorrow
this shall b soo much fun
At least i have my ipod
im juss gonna b listenin to archie
the
ENTIRE 3 hour bus ride
wish me luck

I bet David will sell a SPECTACULAR album, and many people buy it....

yep.
it's just the beginning.
and i'll definitely buy his cds.

DAVID ARCHULETA IS THE AMERICAN IDOL IN OUR HEARTS.

like i said in the other post, and as much as i hate to say it, i'm kinda okay with the fact that cook won idol. i mean he's great and i think he'll be really good. but at the same time im really pissed. WE ALL wanted to see Archie being crowned season 7 idol. but i think its awesome that he took it like a mann :)
*sigh* Archie was awesome and he'll be famous, no doubt.


*double sigh* still ooberly sad tho :|

me too.

i can't believe tht david cook won David Archuleta deserved everything. nd i can't stop crying

Well I'm mad, but think about this. David A does not have to release that HORRIBLE song that Cook is gonna have to put out. He also is not locked into a Clive "I own you" Davis record deal. He can actually make his own music. I'm betting Cook is forced to put out something really pop like.

i'll admit it..
i cried.

im like crying....


STUPID AMERICA!!! ARCHIE IS THE AMERICAN IDOL... (tear) hate this..

but, everything happens for a reason. David lost so he won't be tied to the American Idol company and all that bad stuff.. Now he can do watever with out the Idol ppl trying to mold him into what they want...

GO ARCHIE!!!!! THE ARCH ANGELS STILL LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

I feel the same way, but more because I was expect Archie to win, and then he didn't. I would feel better if I had been expecting this.

But no matter what, we'll ALWAYS love our Davy. And no one can take away the joy we've gotten from seeing him perform. Remember all those nights we anxiously perched in front of the T.V. waiting for Idol to come on? THAT is what it's really all about. What's in a name? An Idol by any other name still sings the same :) (Sorry if that didn't make sense, but we read Romeo and Juliet in class today, I had to say it.)

So chins up! Let's show the world what we Arch Angels are truly capable of, and support our David into infinity and beyond!

*ranting done now*

Ahhhhh, I feel better :P

archie will always be a winner in my heart and now i knw who the winner is i dont think i can watch the last three weeks of the show here in new zealand

uhhhh, i cant believe tomorrow i will walk and meet my CookHolics Frineds..I was so confident Archie will win, they will mock me till death.....and i will to them and say.."maybe Archie loses , but in my heart he's my TRUE idol"
bwahaha..i cant imagine me saying that to them...

cheer up guys....i'm stop crying now
but i cant still believe Archie loses

I actually had a friend text me, "IN YOUR FACE!" when they announced DC won... so I wrote back, "That was immature" and she wrote "HAHAH DON'T BE A SORE LOSER, MY DAVID IS BETTER THAN YOURS!"

um seriously?!??!! This girl is 20 years old. seriously ridiculous

I AM DYING RIGHT NOW!!HE'LL ALWAYS BE MY AMERICAN IDOL!!
I AM CRYIN LIKE A HUGE BABY!!!

Stay positive, and I know its hard to do, but 1. his CD will most likely come out quicker 2. he doesnt have to deal with being the "winner" so he can do his own thing 3. hes already won one competition, hes going to be just fine. and 4. lets hope he will have time to make an appearance on the site.. ehh? :)

WE LOVE YOU ARCHIE :D

uhhhgggg. I spent the whole 4 hours voting last night!!! I prayed a million times that david a. would win!!!! I used my dad's phone to vote even though he told me not to!!! ........and david still didn't win.....my heart is breaking........

I had such a bad feeling that this was gonna happen though. I just kept trying to keep faith that archie would win and I just kept hoping....and then this

im sad. although i still think that archuleta deserved it much more...good job cook..i guess

either way though, not all times does the actual winner end up being more successful - for example reuben studdard....i hadnt even rly heard anything from him until he was on idol yesterday. so who knows? personally, i believe david archuleta is the real american idol and will be more successful....but we'll just have to wait and c...

this sucks. 12 million votes behind?
but. usually the runner up is more successful than the winner.

Runner up?!? so what? You are still muy Idol!!! :)

OMG. My friend and I watched the Guitar Hero commercial and feels a lot better. Haha.
And congratulations, David Cook, I'm also a fan of yours, so yeah.

wow .. i didnt think of that.
you made me actually smile,
the first time in 37 minutes. (=
thank you! and thats so true.

zomg you guys.
DAVID'S STILL FAMOUS, NO MATTER WHAT
I BET HE'LL BE WAY FAMOUS!
US ARCHANGELS WILL PROVE THAT ARCHIE DESERVES THIS NO MATTER WHAT!

Guys its ok! David A Is Our American Idol Forever!!!

I hope he wins!

That's kinda what I was thinking too. That maybe he could get to interact with his fanbase more. Yay :D

ok sry but that was just un-called for about the brother thing....... yea cook sucks but you shouldnt go around dissing his bro like that.

we dont want those cook fans saying that kinda stuff about archie do we??????

im unable to stop crying but he is still MY AMERICAN IDOL FOREVER AND ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my family is afraid to talk to me

im watching the commercial over and over again, it really helps
so anyone just bawling WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN

http://youtube.com/watch?v=rJAo3Em_xqs

NOOO!!!! I have never ever ever cried after an AI results show. Like ever. But I knew I would cry tonight, no matter what happened. I couldn't stop sobbing! My mom was hugging me and going "its alright..." and its NOT! so here is what im doing to show my support for archie:
a) I am writing him a letter (or 10) telling him how awesomely incredible and archulicious he is and how he should have won
b) I am writing another letter (again, or 10) to the AI producers and telling them how STUPID they are. I heard the show was rigged for Cook. I've always been the first to defend it, but now I'm not so sure.
c) I want to wear black to school tomorrow! But I don't have anything black. And I don't know how to put on eyeliner either. And I don't have time to straighten my hair. Maybe I'll get up early in the morning. But I am going to go practice putting on LOTS of eyeliner (which could be tough cuz im still crying) and im gonna be all depressed tomorrow. I guess I just wont wear pink. I have a dark blue shirt from hollister that I like. I'll wear that.
d) When Archie's CD comes out, not only will I buy a copy, but I will buy... well, more. Haven't decided how many yet. But I'll buy them, and then idk what I'll do w/ them, maybe sell them on ebay or something, or give them to my friends, but it's supporting my David. It has to be done.
e) I will buy every single magazine with a picture of David and hang every one of them on my walls/ceiling/anywhere.
f) I will BEG my mom to let me go to the AI tour this summer. The closest they're coming to new york when I'm not at camp is Illinois (I think) which isn't exactly right next door. I'll think of something. I have to!
g) I will also go to every one of David's concerts that it is humanly possible to go to.
h) I will take any suggestions from you guys about obsessed things to do to support David. What should I do? Whatever it takes, I'll do it (within reason- I'm not stalking him. well, maybe....)
i) I will be sobbing hysterically for the next... well, for however long it takes.
j) I will want to throw up every time I hear David Cook's name or see his face (sry ik i shouldnt but i cant help it, i will anyway)
WWAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
at least he has more freedom with his career now... right? but... did anyone else notice that they filmed cook's parents and archies mom but not his dad? whats his dad gonna do? if you believe the stage dad rumors (which i do)... it could mean anything.
oh yeah, and as a random sidenote... doesnt brooke look anorexic?! i mean she rox and all but i think she is...
