-
he duel between Davids brought an estimated 31.7 million viewers to the
Fox finale of "American Idol," a million more viewers that last year's
showdown between Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis, Nielsen Media Research
reported Thursday.
That preliminary estimate beats last year's
audience of 30.7 million. That would be a coup for Fox, which has seen
ratings for its franchise slide during the past month. But the final
competition between winner David Cook and runner-up David Archuleta
proved intriguing in the final days.
Cook's transformation from soul-patched slacker to "American Idol" is
complete, and his overwhelming victory probably says as much about his
soulful gaze and in-season makeover as it does about his chops as a
rocker.
Or maybe it says even more about who's voting these days.
