American Idol 7 Finale Red Carpet Thread.. David Cook Wins!

[Mean Queen]

OK, you figured it out....
We named him Mavid Brooke Archuleta Cook

Mavid - for the hotness that he got genetically from DC and me.

Brooke - because he cries all the time.

And Archuleta - because he keeps making a boom-boom in his pull-ups.

My DD2 keeps saying this now when she goes in her diaper thanks to my older DD.

Has anyone noticed the Itunes version of the song DC sings is different than what was aired?

The one he sang on Regis & Kelly was slower than the iTunes version. But I can't remember the one from the show.

It's the video version, they showed a whole different angle on that video then we saw that night.

A friend told me that her Tivo had DC scheduled to be on Ellen tomorrow. On her site it is TODAY. I don't know who posted the most updated list of appearances and where -- but if that is still listed as Wednesday, it is wrong.

On Ricky.org DC is also supposed to be on MTV's TRL on Thursday. (That is STILL on???)

My dislike for Brooke continues to grow. I was just watching LKL (again)....

GIVE ME A BREAK! Girls are at a disadvantage on idol?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I don't think so.....

Kelly - GIRL

Fantasia - GIRL

Carrie - GIRL

Jordan - GIRL

Clay - GIRL (Oops! I forgot - she didn't win. )

The way I count it - girls lead 4 to 3.

Perhaps she should just try to sing better. Oh yeah, and SHUT UP!!!!!

I actually agree with her and think she made an excellent point. I do not recall another season on AI where there were this many conventionally handsome men in the top 12/10. They mention the cookies and baskets and fan mail that DC got. I don't know about the other guys but that does tell you that the guy's fan bases were more rabid than the girls - THIS season at least. And that is, of course, going to put them at an advantage when it comes to voting -- which is how you win the show.

But to complain about it sounds like sour grapes. Maybe she should have shown some personality and then people would have voted for her? Or talent? The guys this season were the more talented. It's just the luck of the draw of who gets in the top 24. After that, you have to fight for votes yourself.

There was quite a bit of sarcasm in her voice. I strongly, STRONGLY doubt she'd make a comment like that in front of everybody. Judging by their reaction to her there were most definitely some inside stuff there since they all started cracking jokes when she made the comment. She was trying to make a joke about the cookies and flowers that were being sent but by the time she got to it everybody was talking all over each other. She was still smiling in the end which pretty much indicated to me that she was more amused than annoyed by it. I think she was advocating on behalf of Carly and Syesha. She never claimed to be one of the best singers.

They have to select an even number of boys and girls to perform on the show. Unfortunately they got a fantastic group of guys and the ladies had three anchors in the form of Amanda, Ramiele, and The Colonel. They didn't stand a chance even if they were better singers (Carly/Syesha) than the guys.

This season's outcome was influenced by the rabid female fans out there. Don't believe me? How many times did you ladies vote for DC? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Larry King is a jerk. Did you hear him shush them in the beginning and saying "Who's name is on the show?" or something to that effect.

WHY was MJ being so ridiculously secretive about his concert in Vegas? Was it supposed to be a surprise? He was really evasive and I didn't understand why.

The people who produce LKL did a horrible job tonight. Someone would be talking and then suddenly this WHOSH graphic would come in and a split screen would come up with a performance from the show WITH THE AUDIO! It was distracting and made it hard to hear.

I didn't catch the whole interview but it was good to know that they will get a cut from iTunes.

You don't watch Larry King Live very often do you? Every show he does is just like that one.

She was one of the only ones who DIDN'T annoy me during the interview. I also thought Chikieze came off well.

Thank you! There are so many Brooke haters here. I think it's because she's blonde and skinny. She could be saving puppies from a burning house and still draw fire with this group.

Here is a picture of Kim with no makeup on (at least it appears that way)

She is a lot more average looking than I originally thought. Makeup really can do wonders, especially if you have pros applying it.

WOOF

She looks like one of those troll thingies from Lord of the Rings.

I actually LIKED Brooke before, till she stopped taking her meds...

Blonde and skinny are NOT my competition btw... My men like junk in the trunk!!

Complaining doesn't bother me. I thought it was honest -- not sour grapes. And actually KLC and Syesha said just as much if not more than Brooke did -- so I don't understand why Brooke is getting so much heat.

She has talent AND personality. And she made the top 5 so plenty of people obviously DID vote for her. I thought she was the most genuine and sincere of all the women on the show this year. She was a musican and that goes a long way with me. Vocal gynmastics ( a la Carly and Syesha)do not impress me

As for the girls' point -- just pick up ANY teen magazine and look at who is in it. Why is that? Because girls get "fangirly" on a level that boys don't. Just look at this THREAD. The girls had a VERY valid point.

I only watch LKL when Bill Maher is on. So once or twice a year -- tops!

There are a lot of Brooke haters here. She's pretty much doomed from what I can see. Even if she stops talking she'll be slammed for being too quiet. She can't win. Poor girl.

I've been doing the housewife thing for a while. Mostly because the idea of getting a job stresses me out for many, many reasons. I would love to be able to do something from home and make some money.

The idea of being starving and homeless stresses ME out.... try being in MY world...

Ebay is one way to make a living while being your own boss. I know their are points against it but I've yet to find a better way to make money part time. You decide how much you make and how hard you work. I actually work my butt off at it... because I like it BETTER than my job! Because it's MINE.

I've been doing it since 2002, but last year was the first time it became a major force in my finances. It's a great side job.
