- For the last few months, we’ve been watching a group of singers battle it out for this year’s title of American Idol. All of that came to an end last night with a two hour season finale with a lot of surprise guests coming on to perform with the top twelve contestants. They all returned last night to perform one more time before they all go off to work on their own careers. We know making it into the top ten on American Idol gives you a really great chance at a record contract. The top three are guaranteed record deals.
  
  Last night, we saw the two finalists, David Archuleta and David Cook, spotlighted as they performed with the rest of this years contestants. We had appearances by such musical greats as Donna Summer, Bryan Adams and George Michael. They joined the Idol contestants as they all sang songs by the respective singers. The finale is two hours long, and at times this did feel too long, but the guest appearances made the finale worth watching.
  
  When it was all said and done, we had David Cook announced this year’s American Idol. He won by a margin of twelve million votes. A total of over ninety-seven million votes were cast in the finale vote. This was a new record for voting for American Idol. It crushed the old number by twenty-three million.
  
  American Idol will return next year with some changes in store. Fox is keeping quiet on these changes for now, but they have been taking a hard look at the series in recent weeks to make it even better for next year. They did this to regain the loss in viewers they had this year. A loss that doesn’t mean all that much because American Idol is still one of the top shows on television today.
