Video Tribute - Dare U 2 Move

I spent all day today making this video, and I actually really like how it came out so I thought I'd share. Hope you enjoy!

Off-Camera Details from Last Night

Saw these on LiveJournal, but nowhere around here, so I thought I'd pass these adorable tid-bits along

From EW Popwatch:
When Archie's name was read, his family stood to applaud. When David Cook's name was read, the entire room erupted into pandemonium, my entire row leaping to its feet as one. Andrew Cook started sobbing so loudly his sniffles were audible from 30 feet away, and he wrapped Luke Menard in a big ol' hug as Syesha began her farewell song


From People:
Ryan called Cook's brother Andrew up onto the stage, the person who was partially responsible for the frontrunner's journey to Idol, to stand next to him and watch his brother's Kansas City, Mo., visit play up on the monitor. David held his hand up to his mouth in total shock as he relived the moments and the magnitude of crowds that came out to support him. Andrew continuously patted his brother's back as David tried unsuccessfully to hold back his tears. And David returned the love to his brother, ruffling his hair when he shed some tears of his own. After it was all over Debbie took his hand and personally escorted Andrew back to his chair.

When the news broke that the two David's had made it to the finals, Jeff Archuleta and his wife Lupe quickly turned to David Cook's mother and father, both sitting right behind them, and the families congratulated each other profusely. Meanwhile, David Archuleta's face was pale with shock as he and Cook made their way over to the couch to watch Syesha Mercado give her final performance of Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You." In the audience, Carly Smithson and Brooke White held each other as they swayed to the song, while Chikezie and David Hernandez stood and pointed to their fellow Idol. As the credits rolled on TV, all the former Idols in the house joined Ryan Seacrest and the judges on stage to bid farewell to Syesha and congratulate the two David's on making it all the way. They posed for photos together and David Cook and Michael Johns ran toward each other, jumped and did a chest high five!

USA Today - "Soaking It All In"

Aww, Cookie thought he was going home!

Cook, 25, says he thought he would be going home. "I thought my ticket was punched. I honestly did," he says. "Syesha is an amazing performer, and she really hit her stride in the last two, three, four weeks."
