David Cook, who earned comparisons to Chris Daughtry all season, ended up going one better than the chrome-domed chart topper.
The 25-year-old former bartender (emphasis on the "former") was named the winner of the seventh season of American Idol Wednesday night, besting velvety voiced runner-up David Archuleta by 12 million votes despite the massive amount of fawning the judges did over the 17-year-old ballad specialist last night—and the really unnecessary amount of criticism Simon Cowell directed at Cook, who more than held his own.
"When I went back home and watched it, it wasn't quite so clear-cut as we called it. David, I will take this opportunity to apologize, because I think I was verging on disrespectful to you," Cowell, who apparently reads the comment sections on all the blogs, told Cook before the big reveal.
