The singer that once performed Chris Cornell’s version of Jackson’s “Billie Jean”, David Cook is the winner of this year’s American Idol.

David Cook is the first “rock” singer who plays real instruments to win the competition. Most of the winners over the years were pop singers and country singers. All the male rock artists never won American Idol although they tried.

Wow! I hate American Idol but I’m shocked that they gave a rock artist a chance! Holy shit!

Over the years of American Idol, most viewers would vote on talent over the good looks and totally ignore the talent.

I guess America wants artists with real talent who play instruments and sing for real. Now it makes me wish I watched A.I. this year. It’s about time that American Idol is about to change with people that wanting to play real instruments, instead of Idol’s typical karaoke thing.

Idol sounds decent this year.
