David Cook was crowned the winner of American Idol Season 7, Wednesday night. This win comes as a surprise since Simon Cowell pretty much declared David Archuleta the winner after last night’s performances.

In an interview with UsMagazine.com following Tuesday night’s show, Cook refrained from arguing with judge Simon Cowell’s assertion that David Archuleta won the evening. “You know, everybody’s got an opinion, and tonight was Archuleta’s night,” Cook reportedly told the site. “I have to concede it: The kid came out all three songs and nailed it. But I walk away from this with my head held high.”

David has always loved music…

Cook was born in Houston, Texas and raised in Blue Springs, Missouri. Cook’s interest in music began early in life; he received his first guitar at the age of 2. He began singing in second grade, when his elementary school music teacher gave him a solo in a school choir performance. He proceeded to perform in virtually every Christmas and PTA program.

Congratulations David, enjoy the ride!
