For the first time, America elected a rock star as its singing idol in the person of David Cook.
A rock star, as what the producers hoped for, would sell records, which is ultimately the goal of the show -- to build a recording star.
Ryan Seacrest did not announce how many voted for this year's American Idol finale. He just said the winner won with a margin of 12 millions votes. Major newspapers had already reported that viewership of the show had dropped to seven per cent. Compared to all seasons past, the roster of talent in this season is more superior. But this did not help in boosting television ratings.
The nation is watching what would become of David Cook after this big win of his life. Truly, an American idol should sell even after the show. Let's see what happens.
About TVmomma:
I created this blog a few years back when I used to watch television 14 hours a day. I was getting highly-opinionated with what I see on TV and I wanted to spare my husband from my rantings so I thought of blogging about them instead.
I have called TV as my amusement park -- right in my own home. But now, things have changed and my TV viewing has been limited. I still post on this blog but only when I felt so strongly about what I've seen, and when I have the time.
For reprint and for anything else, please leave a message on the comment area. Thank you.
