I am not really a Daughtry fan, but I do think he's talented. However, I think David Cook is much better all around. Daughtry seems to be kinda unhappy sometimes in the limelight, I think David Cook is more gracious and yes more "it".

Definitely IT!

just doin the happy dance...

That's the first time I've heard that but I completely agree. He looks completely comfortable on stage. They could throw any kind of music at him (like Mariah Carey), any awkward situation (like the dopey group numbers), anything...and he came out looking like a star.

Exactly He looked like he was having the time of his life and was game for anything. The Ford commercials, the Mike Meyers skit, the dumb boxing thing, the cheesy group numbers etc.....

Although I liked most of the Top 10 this year, Sayesha and DC just had that IT quality about them and could be successful in many different areas.

oooo, I think that's it. Daughtry almost never smiles. Always did that half-scowl all the time. Cook just seems like one happy guy (except when he's bawling, but we'll forgive him, right?)

I like a man who can cry! I cry right along with him. (Jason is still my favorite though LOL).

I was BIG TIME into season 5. Huge Taylor fan (still am) and also liked Daughtry a lot. I heavily participated in the season 5 thread, posting and reading everyone's different opinions. And comparing the general opinions of that season to this season, do you know what the difference is? Everybody likes David Cook. During season 5...and probably every other season....I can't ever remember a single contestant in our little Dis-World that everybody genuinely liked.

Cook may not have been your first pick (plenty of Jason fans here!) but I am really, really curious. Was anybody unhappy with last night's results? Even if you voted for David A....did you dislike Cook? Go ahead and say so, I am really curious.

Nope! Jason is still my fave, as I just quoted, but I was overjoyed for David Cook!!!!! He seems like such a wonderful guy, and I thought he truly deserved it. I've said from very early on, even though I love Jason, David Cook was the one who should win it. I was thrilled.

Yes I noticed!!! That boy couldn't be sexy if his life depended on it. But given that he is the same age as some of my son's friends, I was glad to see him in boxers.

DC however..........OMG.

OMG

OMG

Best.

Hence my nickname for him... SBS... short, bald and SURLY!! Talent is secondary to charisma and appeal to me and he just never appealed to me.

David is confident, caring and SMART. I love smart, articulate, confident men, it's an aphrodisiac for me...

Doesn't hurt to be good looking...

It was a blast post with you all I guess we will have to do this next year Everyone make sure they buy two or three David Cook cds

Simon Cowell's salary dwarfs Paula Abdul's

As for why there’s such a salary discrepancy, Lythgoe told an Australian newspaper it’s because “it is believed (Cowell) brings more to the table.”

Abso-friggen-lutely.
