He noticed something with styles, Cook said: “Lambert and I both have that side-swoop-bang thing going on, so there’s that. I guess Kris and Archie have similar haircuts too. It’s all about the hair, guys.”

And when he was asked for any collaborators, he said: “I have a dream person I’d like to write with, and that’s Paul McCartney. Sir Paul McCartney, I should say. … Paul, if you’re ever looking for an intern, I’m available.”

About the season 8 finale, he said in an interview that he tried not to cry during that finale night. Here is what he said:

“For the finale this year, I was floored that they would allow me to have that platform,” he told MTV News. “There’s so many great artists out there that could have had that moment. The fact that they had me come back and perform ‘Permanent,’ something that was important to me, the charity and everything, to continue to give me that platform [was great].”

“I was kind of half-joking with everyone beforehand that I always seem to cry at ‘Idol, I really didn’t want to with this last performance.”

“It was difficult, but I just remember looking around the room and seeing, like, Cameron Diaz over here and Heather Locklear over here and the four judges in the front and just thinking it’s such an oddly absurd moment, and I was here a year ago, To have those, for lack of a better way to phrase it, distractions, it was just like, ‘Where in the world am I at right now?’ It kind of helped me get through it.”

Ow, Cook is so cool!
