The one contestant who commanded my attention better than Carly was David Cook. The former barkeep took that stage with unwavering confidence, and instantly made me feel like I was watching him in a solo concert rather than in a televised singing competition. And this is just week one of the finals.

Ah, David Cook. The male rocker was the only Idol contestant I saw give the singer before him (Carly) a big ol' congratulatory hug, and he was the only one to leave the stage to meet up with a member of his entourage (i.e. the guy in the green shirt and dark-rimmed glasses, who I reckon is his brother) and get a big ol' congratulatory hug. That family reunion was presaged by a quick, but telling, moment: Just after Ryan delivered David Cook's 866 number and took us to the break, Cook looked out over the audience, clasped his hand to his mouth, and his eyes briefly welled up with tears. You expect that sort of sentiment from a sweetheart like Brooke White, but out of Cook, well, let's say the guy surprised me last night in more ways than one.
