Readers react to Misha Berson's review of the American Idols Live

It was a big "American Idol" week for Seattle Times theater critic (and "Idol" fan) Misha Berson, who wrote " 'Idol' moments with winner David Cook (NWLife, July 8), a Q&A with Cook," and "David, David! 'Idol' guys deliver," a review of the Tacoma Dome show in NWLife on July 14. She got a slew of response on both stories. This note from Monique, of Toronto, gives the flavor of most of them.

Dear Misha Berson:

I would just like to say thank you for the insightful David Cook article. " 'Idol' moments with winner David Cook" is by far the most informative Cook interview since his win ... period. I enjoyed learning so many new facts about the man himself; you actually asked original questions that got to reveal more layers of his personality to his fans.

I also enjoyed that you were one of the very few journalists who didn't hound David about his so-called "surprise" or "upset" win — or try to pry into his romantic personal life.

I hope in the future you will be able to interview David again. I know I would love to read it.

Monique, Toronto, Canada
