Watch David Cook being named the winner of American Idol 2008 Season 7 with David Archuleta coming in runner up. David Cook then goes on to sing the winning song from the songwriting competition, Time of My Life. Right at the start of the video, Simon Cowell also uncharacteristically apologized to David Cook for all but handing over the Season to Archuleta the previous night. If Idol results are really not available to anyone including the judges until that final moment, this move by Simon to apologize turned out to be a smart move and avoided an embarrassing moment when the results went in favour of the other David.
Also, with David Cook getting 56 % of the 97 odd million votes it was quite a comprehensive victory and kind of brushes away the stories circulating that voters were put off by the judges’ bias towards Archuleta the previous night.
