Yep, sitting at working and just HAD to watch it again and now I'm crying.. I'm so freaking proud of him! I feel like this world won when they chose him as the American Idol! He's brilliant, phenomonel, and absolutely amazing!

I probably watched it atleast 8 times
and I still get chills when Ryan says Cook

Well I'm back for more.. haha.
I have never been more filled with pride than when Ryan said "Cook".. my whole body came alive. I danced, I cried, and I screamed.. and the sad part is.. normally, I'm pretty laid back..

Yep, when Ryan said "Cook" I screamed SO loud and started dancing. My husband was laughing at me....thought I was crazy, but I was SO happy!

im sure ill rewatch that a lot over the next few days...........but i wonder when ill be able to get through a viewing without crying?!! lol whenever he cries it just sets me off!!!

Thank goodness for youtube.

I DVR the show last night, then DVR the news show afterwards to get the rest of it. Watched the end of the AI show this morning and it cuts off right before the "moment" so I go to my next recording.

Cut to applause and DC hugging Archie... DVR must hate me, it really recorded everything EXCEPT "...American Idol 2008 is David..... Cook!"

Not the end of the world, but really, was that necessary?

Ditto that, man! I have watched that last 5 minutes of the show so many times today, I just can't stop! Good thing my hubby is out of the country, he'd not appreciate all the drooling over some other stud!

I couldn't get my 2 1/2 yr old son to bed in time so I let him join in the fun... I had him all prepared to say "woo hoo" with arms in the air when they announced David Cook, and he did it! Cheered right along with me. Then when my husband got home a few minutes later, we replayed that last part so he could see it (he likes Cook too, really likes his voice) and my son made us reenact the whole thing, where we were standing, how we cheered, everything. Today I was watching an interview and my son said "that's Archuleta, but where's David Cook?" and I said "GOOD QUESTION!" lol.

Same here I freaked out when he said "Cook" I was jumpping around my room and freaking out to the point where I heard my Mom go "Erin calm down!" I did poke my head out of room tears in my eyes saying "He won he won!" My Mom goes "The Right One?" and I said "Yes the right one" [I have been known to cry when my favorite didn't win that's why she asked I guess] Anyways so I put the moment on my Ipod and watched it again and fell in love with him even more he's truly amazing, one of my favorite Cookie Moments!

i seriously have cried every time i watched this video. i am so emotional over this! i still can't believe he is real.

I couldn't get my tears out last night, so i saw it today after school and... omg.. i looked just like when someone dies... yep that devastated...

But.. my tears were of joy... I feel so proud of him :3

I was in agony the whole day before the show aired...I was admiting defeat to my Archy Fan friends...I really thought Archy had it...but inside I did not want to believe it. I really didn't.

Then when the David's were on stage and Ryan was talking to them and having the judges say something I was curled up in a ball on my couch with the pillow over my head, one eye peaking out begging Ryan to get it over with. I was trying to figure out what I would do when they called David A's name.

Then he said David Cook. I sat up and screamed like 3 times, then started laughing and crying. (My family was looking at eachother like "is she ok?") Then I just sat on the couch crying and shaking... I called my boyfriend and was still crying and shaking...I could hardly talk. He's not a Cook fan, but he likes to see that I'm happy, and I really was for the first time in a long time.

When I rewatch it I relive those moments...crying and all.

Well, I woke up at 3 a.m - since this thing started my diurnal rhythm is completely out of order - my body really believes I'm living in east coast USA - but it seem to take the plane over to Europe every morning and forces me to go to work for a whole day and then it goes back to the US again, it's crazy.

Anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night with a feeling that I just had to turn my laptop on. And I watched the video of David being declared the winner, and the tears and the hugs and the "Time of my life" and the confetti .. over and over again, with tears running down my face and I felt stupid and really happy at the same time. Then I turned the computer off and slept the rest of the night like a happy baby.

How could this happen to me ? I mean, I'm like Bitten I. Simply. Do. Not. Crush.
Who is this person, who has taken over my mind and my body ?

I am SO SSOO happy for him!! I kept crying and crying...it was so sweet when his mom came on the stage! He must be euphoric right now and I wish him all the best in the future

We should all be proud that we picked THE best of 'em all...THE IDOL!! And since I live in Hong Kong and can't vote...GREAT JOB to everyone who did to make him win. I'm so proud of DC!!

Wow - Im so glad to know Im not alone here. I've relived the moment....oh.....about 12 times - and keep getting all emotional every time. I was excited when he won and then I started to get choked up when he started to get all emotional, and then once he started to sing Time of My Life, I was done. Sitting on the couch, tears rolling down my cheeks. Good thing my father wasn't home because he would have made fun of me big time.

I was an emotional mess yesterday (most of the day because I stayed up too late Wed night, so worth it though!) and then when 2 of his songs came up on my ipod on the way home, I couldn't even sing along without starting to get choked up. I'm so proud of him and he's just amazing -- I can't wait to see what he'll do next!
