Season 7 winner Cook comes across as the big brother on tour. Maybe it’s because he came out on top, or maybe it’s just his nature, but Cook shows no signs of competition — not even the friendly kind.

“The pressure has always been on myself and the importance to withstand long after the tour is gone,” Cook said. “David (Archuleta) and I aren’t the same artist. He’s more pop and R&B. Comparing us, for lack of a better term, is like comparing apples and oranges.“

During the transition from the show to the tour, the greatest difference for Cook has been taking time to write his own music.

“I didn’t write on the show because I had no time, but I really want to open up and be honest as a songwriter (…) The best analogy I have is to compare it to a game of poker. I have five cards, I’ve shown three, but I still have two left.“
