Pearls - David Sanborn

Advantages: Current American Idol winner, a musician
Disadvantages: None

...This...... is the current American Idol Winner. David Cook is the American Idol that nearly never was. He actually was not initially going to try out for the television talent show, he was at the auditions to support his brother but, after some pushing from his brother, decided to audition too. A good decision, because he became the winner of the seventh season of American Idol in 2008. David Cook is classified as a Rock, singer-songwriter.

...Honolulu has long been a key port for the US navy in the Pacific, with a major naval base having been in operation to the west of the city for a full century. In all that time, the base has become best known for the events that happened there on December 7th 1941, events that President Franklin D Roosevelt was later to famously refer to as "a day that will live in infamy". The attack on Pearl Harbor became a pivotal point in history, and the site as a result still attracts huge numbers of visitors to it (estimated to be around 1.5 million people annually). When visitors say they are going to Pearl Harbor, however, what they are actually referring to is the USS Arizona Memorial, which consistently ranks amongst the top three most visited attractions in the state of Hawaii every year. For a state that offers so much to so many, that speaks... Read review
