*old school raise the roof* for us!! we rock and David Cook rocks so its a win win situation rite
EDIT: HAHA! I have to add this my little brother just finished watching it, he DVR'D it cause he had to work and since the show ran over he said the Ryan was saying, "And the Winner of American Idol 2008 is...." and blue screen! it stopped at 10 so he had to call and ask who won! thought you might enjoy a funny story!

Oh dear lord. I desperately need DVR or whatever it is. TiVo?
Sigh. I was so busy screaming in my dad's ear that I didn't pay much attention to the song in the first place.
By the way, what was the winning song? I think Ryan said it was Time of Your Life, but I'm really not sure. :/
Have no fear I'm sure the screencaps will have it. And it was something to that effect, it wasn't too incredibly cheesy from what I could decifer through my tears and pure joy for Cookie.

what i love about the result is that it is categorical and unquestionable:
1. he won by a wide margin...it's unquestionable.
2. he won without any help from the judges, purely out of his own talent.
told ya... "The World I Know" was the one that clinched it!!!
