Who Won 2008 American Idol? According to Judges, David Archuleta Wins

Did you watch American Idol last night? After last night’s performances by David Cook and David Archuleta, who won the 2008 American Idol? Well, if you’re following the judges lead, then David Archuleta wins American Idol.
Paula, Randy and Simon were falling all over David Archuleta’s performance and were a bit dismissive of David Cook’s, don’t you think? Maybe it’s just the big Nokia Theater makes David Archuleta sound just that much more amazing, but I don’t think they should discount David Cook as the American Idol winner either.
After all, TV Crunch has picked David Cook as the winner of the 2008 American Idol 7 — and we’re in good company, too. Yesterday, Simon Cowell (during an appearance on Ellen) predicted David Cook as the winner and DialIdol.com has David Cook as the clear winner (and DialIdol.com claims to have accurately predicted every season’s winner).
Tune in to tonight’s 2008 American Idol 7 finale and see for yourself — who will win American Idol? David Cook or David Archuleta?
