I have a different opinion. I think it is actually more professional to accept the criticism with a smile and a nod, instead of being defensive and having a tantrum on stage. Additionally, there is already a limited amount of time. I don't necessarily see the arrogance--I see confidence and hope. Cook's performances are definitely stimulating and unpredictable. There is always something new to look forward to. I do like Cook and Archuleta. Both will make it regardless of the outcome of Idol. However, I like the rock style...I like Cook's voice and performances. He has the ability to be unique and authentic. He trusts himself--and he is very consistent. I think some comments by the judges are a bit biased...they already have their favorites. I think that Cook will also be appreciative and shocked to win Idol...as would most hopefuls.
