The David Archuleta fans watching the live broadcast of the American Idol finale were pretty pumped to see the hometown kid win last night. The photo above shows them screaming for the camera about twenty minutes before the final decision. Then, this photo is the moment that the winner was announced. And it wasn’t the hometown kid:
When “David…Cook” was announced, rather than David Archuleta, this hush came over the crowd, disbelief.
Below, fans Crystal Martinez, Cecily Estrada, Ariel Sollis, and Liz Sollis continued to hold up their “Congrats Archie!!” sign even after Archuleta lost.
