<p>Both David Cook and Kris Allen are the winners from the highly popular singing competition <em>American Idol</em>. Cook was the contestant in the seventh season while Allen in the eighth, and both of them won the popular vote, making them the winners of the shows.</p>
<p>David Cook, 37, were signed to RCA Records after the crown and then released two major studio albums—<em>David Cook </em>(2008) and <em>This Loud Morning</em> (2011). Cook is a rock-oriented singer with a twist of a commercial rock sound. After parting from the major label, the singer has embarked on a new journey that allows him to explore more creativity with his musical talent. His latest offer is 2018&#8217;s <em>Chromance</em>, a six-track EP in which Cook experiments a brand new sonic territory into his music with electronic and synth sounds. Outside the music scene, Cook also debuted his Broadway endeavour, playing Charlie Prince in <em>Kinky Boots</em>, back in 2018.</p>

<p>Kris Allen, 34, beat LGBTQ icon Adam Lambert on American Season 8. Unlike Cook, Allen&#8217;s music leans towards folk and acoustic sounds with his easy-breezy vocal. Following the win, Allen released two major studio albums—<i>Kris Allen </i>(2009) and <em>Thank You Camellia</em> (2012)—with RCA Records. Then, the singer/songwriter independently dropped two more albums, 2014&#8217;s <em>Horizons </em>and 2016&#8217;s <em>Letting You In</em>. In 2019, Allen celebrated his 10 years in music by releasing <em>10</em>, a cover collection of the reimagined versions of his own songs in an acoustic style, and going on tour in support of his celebration.</p>
