Boy, am I late or what with my entry on the American Idol results show! Blame in on poor internet connection and being out of the country!

I totally missed the results show because when the show was on I was flying across the Pacific Ocean bound for Hong Kong. I did not know who the new American Idol was and did not find any American Idol news on any of the newspapers I read on the plane.

But on the last leg of my journey, I was pleased to see this on the front page of one of the local Malaysian newspapers!

My favorite contestant, David Cook, was the new American Idol! Woohooo! After the “knockout” comment by Simon Cowell during the finale night, I was quite pessimistic about David Cook winning the show.

I am very happy that his fans voted in droves to give him the comfortable lead of 2 million votes to ensure his win of the competition. Woohoo! Finally, a rocker is an American Idol!
