I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...David Cook has so much character and soul in his 25 years than most people ever will have. From the audition something about him intrigued me, then as each week unfolded - you kept hearing David Archuleta the front runner, but I was drawn to David Cook. There was something about him that I couldn't forget and wanted to keep seeing and hearing more and more. After David made it to the top 24 it was all over for me - he had to win. His performances were so captivating...and truthfully I have never gotten this into anyone on the show over the years, and I've watched them all. Then as we got to see his personality, his humor and learn his love for his family, the personal struggle they all have with his brother's illness, his wonderful story about Lindsay Rose and the kindness he has shown her not only in Tampa but by wearing the bracelet to give her something to look forward to each week, that is still amazing to me...that he had the heart to do that for her and still wears the bracelet today, I believe when he makes a friend it is for life. I love that if he is touched he will show his emotion - he shows us who he is as a person and I love that. I am so happy he won American Idol, I have restored faith in that show. I can't wait for the album and truly love his voice and the way he puts his heart and soul into his music, he makes music mean something to me again. I can't wait to see his stories unfold. Can I say more, definitely, but I should probably stop now. Love you David Cook.
