American Idol: The Better David
Now that American Idol has finally boiled down to its last two contenders, I am so excited that my favorite contestant, David Cook is going to compete head-to-head with another equally talented David Archuleta.
It is a thrill to see David Cook, being the wonderful and talented performer that he is on stage, battle his one chance to claim the title of Season 7's American Idol. He is always a pleasure to watch week after week. What makes David Cook such a fan-favorite is the fact that he has this amazing vocals that can literally rock a stage and sweep the audience off its feet. And despite his power vocals that amass enormous strength and confidence on stage, David Cook never fails to show through his vulnerable emotions that he so carefully protects behind those well-guarded moments on stage.
It takes one equally keen soul to notice, that David Cook almost always gets teary-eyed during those humbling minutes when the judges throw their honest praises for David's amazing performance on stage. It is because David Cook, gets humbled by the realization that his success on stage has an even deeper meaning because it is dedicated to his brother, Adam Cook who is ill with brain cancer. If only, he could cherish the glory of being the great performer that he is, without the pain of a brother's illness, it would have been all worth opening himself up with joy to the cheering crowd.
But it's all worth it, every time. In fact, you often see the initials AC on David's props in recognition of the brother that he truly cares for. It is truly a bitter-sweet tale of a brotherhood that is intricately webbed in a twist of fate.
David Cook's greatness is even more outlined in the grace that he displays every time by keeping himself mum about the other things that are stressing him behind the stage, when he could have easily grandstand on his misery to gain sympathy and gain momentum as well from the voting American public. David, you are truly exceptional and praiseworthy in the way that you have carried yourself like a true warrior with an unflinching spirit in the midst of life's bitter blows. You have unquestionably moved us, your fans.
In a week's time, I can see America giving you, your due recognition as the better David worthy of the title American Idol, in a battle that has yet to be played out, yet you have already won in our hearts of heart.
Kudos to a great talent and an amazing soul. David Cook, congratulations!
