Official congratulations to him...he has so earned it.

And on the topic of listening to Idol performances and mp3s, I've realized that I love "Longer" and "The Long and Winding Road"; I never heard them before the show and that may be crazy and blasphemous to some, but David singing them is beautiful. Something I love about musicians is if they have the ability to expose me to music I wouldn't have initially listened to and that's been the case with these songs. At first, I was like, "Longer and the Long and Winding Road are boring...", then I stopped to actually listen and he sings them so well.
