Film.com is convinced that American Idol winner David Cook was a shocker and that David Archuleta was destined to win in the first two weeks. They also argue that David had a better performance than David Cook.

In an excerpt:

Holy cow.

Jumpin’ Jehosephat.

I can’t believe it’s not butter!

David Cook actually won American Idol.

I am stunned. Honestly stunned. Seriously. Now I know how all you Hillary Clinton fans out there must be feeling. Utterly dismayed.

How in the world did David Archuleta NOT win this competition? He had everything going for him. He was practically anointed the winner after the first week or two. He’s had a solid fan base that has never let him slip into the bottom three. His father has been driving him like a racehorse behind the scenes. And, quite frankly, his performances Tuesday night were better than David Cook’s.

This wasn’t just an upset—more like a minor, musical miracle. By all predictions, David A. should have won this thing hands down. It shouldn’t have even been close.

And apparently it wasn’t. Of the 97.5 million votes cast, David Cook earned 56% of them to Archuleta’s 44%. A difference of 12 million votes. A double-digit win.

We don’t think David Cook was a shocker. We didn’t think the three song monotonous style of David Archuleta was better than a wide range of arsenal David Cook thru on the finals night. David Cook was better, looked far more a star, was downright the legitimate winner of American Idol Season 7.
