David Cook, who won the most recent season of American Idol says that he has been incredibly busy since the season finale; aside from recording his first post-Idol album, Cook is also preparing to tour with the other finalists from the show.

Cook performed his debut single “The Time Of My Life” for the Las Vegas audience; he will sing the song in over 50 cities on the American Idols Live tour.

Congratulations to David Cook, who became the newest American Idol last night with 97 million votes. Cook beat David Archuleta in a tightly contested match-up that had much of America on its toes.

In another unprecedented Idol moment, Simon Cowell apologized for his crassness, and for his insinuation that Cook did not have the wherewithal to become the seventh American Idol.

David Cook sang Always Be My Baby; his brother, Adam, who suffered a brain tumor, was flown with sponsorship from Clarian Health to join the rest of Cook’s family in the audience.
