Winning America’s most-watched and most-loved show can only bring positive results to the winner. And for David Cook, becoming American Idol’s latest champion was the best thing that ever happened to him. So what’s his life been like since winning the show? David Cook says,

“Nuts! I’m constantly amazed at all the cool stuff I get to do. Now the goal is to work as I possibly to make sure I keep to get doing that kind of stuff.”

The singer is currently preparing for his US tour to support his first record — now certified platinum! David Cook said he has been “floored” by the response to his album: “I feel like right now the sky’s the limit. All these good things keep coming in, and hopefully, the other shoe doesn’t drop.”
