David Cook Winner of American Idol Season 7

David Cook was declared the winner of the Season 7 of American Idol on Wednesday after receiving 56% of the votes casted.

Cook was tending bar and playing in a band before he auditioned for Idol and after his winning, Cook’s single “The Time of My Life” went on sale on iTunes and immediately shot up to #1 spot, follow by his three other songs that he sang on this week’s finale.

Cook tells Reuters that his next record will likely to be a rock record.

“It’ll probably be a rock record. I just want to make a record that’s going to make the hair on your neck stand up. Even if it doesn’t do well commercially, as long as I can put out a record I am proud of — that’s the goal right now. And hopefully the success will follow.”

David Archuleta who comes in as first runner-up thinks Cook deserves winning the Idol competition.

“To the people who’ve been supporting me so much, I just want to thank them. It means more than anything to know that people are appreciating the hard work that we put into this. I want them to know that I’m feeling great about it. The fact that Cook won, I think he deserved it so much. He just proved it week after week. He deserves to be the American Idol! He’s such a great guy too. My main priority wasn’t to win the competition; it was just to do my best. You can suck and people can vote enough for you to win, but that wouldn’t feel very good. [Laughs.] We both gave it all. We just poured it all onto that stage on Tuesday night. And we both feel really great about it. I don’t think I could have done anything better or change anything to make me feel any better about what I did.

Do you think if David Cook will be as successful as Daughtry?
