Who Won 'American Idol'

May 21, 2008: <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/david-cook/564984' target='_blank'>David Cook</a> Wins

"I congratulate David Cook. He is a true talent and performed wonderfully throughout the season. He will have a stellar career ... I believe that David Archuleta will also have a wonderful career. He has an amazing and beautiful voice. In my opinion, his vocal range and ability to hit notes is worlds better than the other David's. They are so different, yet both are blessed with immense talent." -- <A HREF="http://messageboards.aol.com/aol/en_us/articles.php?boardId=525132&articleId=2161797&func=6&channel=Television" target="_blank">JavaConroy </a>

"Finally a winner who deserves it!!! I'm so happy David Cook won. ... I think he's very worthy of it. He has it all. The great voice that can change up any song and make it his own. He's got a personality and charisma which is more then I can say of Archie. That same boring face week after week and same boring and slow songs ... gosh I wanted to scream watching him." -- <A HREF="http://messageboards.aol.com/aol/en_us/articles.php?boardId=525132&articleId=2161787&func=6&channel=Television" target="_blank">Vintagediva74 </a>

"I am so happy he won!! What a great guy. Through his winning he went over and put his arm around David A. He is a true gentleman. I thought that was the sweetest thing. Yes he was crying. So was I. People are allowed to cry from pure joy ... I also thought David A. handled it beautifully and I think he is going to be just fine. He is an amazing singer and he will blossom as the years go by." -- <A HREF="http://messageboards.aol.com/aol/en_us/articles.php?boardId=525132&articleId=2161592&func=6&channel=Television" target="_blank">GretchenMayfield </a>
