American Idol Winners At Boa
Posted on Wed Jun 16, 2010 12:12 PM PDT

Lee DeWyze and David Cook were both spotted exiting Boa in West Hollywood last night, albeit separately. What could these two American Idol singers have been discussing?
Probably about how the winners never get to be as famous as the first runner up!
Harsh but true.

I love me some Lee.
That's a pretty dumb statement. Ever heard of Kelly or Carrie. Luv seeing Dave as well.
That is a pretty dumb statement - We have not heard the last of Mr. DeWyze. He has an incredible voice.
What a dumb statement. I'm thinking someone's favorite didn't win at some point? Anyway, I'm sure they winners are laughing all the way to the bank! Love Dave and love that he and Lee hung out together!
Happy Birthday, Andrew Cook!
Funny, cuz the most famous and best selling Idols are: Kelly Clarkson (winner), Carrie Underwood (winner), Daughtry (way not 1st runner up), and
David Cook (winner).
clay, adam lambert, katharine mcphee, david archuleta
Haha I love the person who writes the blurbs for these AI pics. Their bitterness is hard to ignore. LOL
Wow David Cook looks hot! When did he get so slim? It looks good on him
I hear David Cook and Jordin Sparks on the radio a lot more than David A. and the beatboxing guy. I don't think those runners-up have one hit song. I can't even remember anything about the runner-ups during Fantasia and Carrie's season.
Total myth that the runner up is more successful, just ask Justin Guarini and Bo Bice. David Cook sold twice as many CDs as Archie, more digital downloads, has had way more radio airplay, more national TV appearances, more sold out shows and has 3 platinum records to Archie's 1. Cook is driving a brand new Range Rover; Archuleta drives his mother's mini-van.
Two schlubby white guys having dinner - so what - when did this become news.
cook is a bore, dewyze can't sing.. the runners ups are way more interesting musically than these two. cook is so whitebread vanilla i don't see how he even rates a mention, same for no singing lee. slow news day, for real.
cook is having to sell out on his 2nd cd, going more pop in order to get what archuleta has - a monster pop hit. archuleta has remained true to himself musically, has increased his visibility and profile without propping up or help from the idol machine. cook is less interesting musically than archuleta, same for dewyze. bowersox is way more interesting, and people will gravitate towards and care more about her and archuleta more than the winners of their seasons. truth hurts, and cd sales have nothing to do with it. cook has outsold adam lambert, but lambert has taken priority over him on his label, and in the media. he's just more interesting than cook and dewyze rolled together. these 2 have to be the most boring winners ever.
The bitterness by this 'writer' is just sad. Look at the numbers - they don't like. Cook has sold a significant more number of albums than Archuleta. Same goes for Kelly, Carrie and Jordin. Sorry that your favorite didn't win.
Why the bitterness at all....all of the Idols are pursuing their dream of being singers, and none want to go the same road!!! It's not oranges and oranges....and not every singer wants to just sing...they want to become artists, which encompasses much more the just singing!!!! Just sayin.....
I love me some Dave.
Archuleta has shown variety of talent in the short span of two years after idol; a pop album, a smash single (2 million downloads), cameo roles on TV shows, a Christmas album, a best selling book. The next pop album will be out in this coming fall. He also has agenda to tap into the Latino music, which Archuleta mentioned a desire to produce a Spanish album. Someday, I think, he will have CDs with inspirational songs, patriotic songs, Disney movie tracks and more. At 19, he already has shown so much talent and potential. For the record, he still drives Toyota Prius given by Idol two years ago. This penny pincher doesn't spend much money for himself and is the most humble celebrity you would ever find in the business.
Ruben, Fantasia sold multi-platinum albums too but nobody remembers what songs they sang. I don't understand why voters keep picking Daughtry 2.0s who fail to reach the expected level of success, and as a result, runner-ups are more interesting and different.
Cook fans should read Archuleta's New York Times, Best Seller book, Chords of Strength, page 144-146.
kidding me right? most heard and famous AI peeps - Carrie (winner) Kelly (winner) Chris (no where near 2nd) David (winner) and Scotty (winner) Do your research.
