David Cook Talks Idol Win

He’s the latest in a long line of American Idol season winners, and David Cook seems to be taking his massive victory in stride.  Last night after he was announced as the Season 7 champ, the Blue Springs, Mo bartender talked to press about his experience thus far.

Maintaining an air of humility, David said that he’s up for whatever his Idol status brings his way.  “I actually walked into this with no expectations and I’m walking out of it with no expectations. This show is a springboard, but it’s still a crapshoot. I could easily walk out of this arena and be just a regular Joe tomorrow. I hope that’s not the case. It’s kind of up to everybody else.”
