Well, I voted for David Cook, but for some reason, I still feel a little let down. I think it is because Archuleta was a hometown hero! It would have been pretty cool to have the American Idol from Utah! And for those of you not familiar with Utah, we live on the border of Midvale/Murray and Archuleta's house is about 1/2 mile away from us (I can take you on a tour!). But ah well, I won't dwell on it too long, because, in reality, I have never even bought an album from an American Idol artist.
The best part of the night was the "surprise" performance by George Michael! He made everybody else sound like crap. His voice was in perfect form - he validated my claims that he is the best male vocalist in the world, hands down! (A thought echoed to me by Pete Gleadall [google him] in a conversation we had together 2 years ago). His performance just made me more and more excited for his concert! I cannot believe I finally get to see him live! But, as I told Brady, I don't want it to get here too fast, because then it will be over. There's nothing like anticipation!
