THE PRICE OF SUCCESS. After their American Idol stint, both Cook and Archuleta have been busy touring the world to promote their respective self-titled albums. What is the hardest part of being where they are now—successful international recording artists?

Cook: "I'm very close to my family... I think I can speak for the two of us. We've all been given an amazing level of support from our family that allows us to do stuff like this, to be able to chase this stuff while we're young and have the opportunity."

Archuleta: "You know, one thing that's really difficult was being away from home, being away from my family. I love traveling and stuff, and it's always a lot of fun. But just being able to hang out with your brothers and sisters and friends, it's always fun. I feel kinda bad sometimes, like, 'Oh, I'm missing out...' You know?"

Someone asked, what's the best thing about being David Cook?

The older David replied, "The best thing about being David Cook right now, honestly, is the same thing that was best in me two years ago, I don't know... This is all amazing, it's great. But it's a phase, you know what I mean? I certainly want this to last for a long time, but it can easily fall apart tomorrow.

"I got great friends, great family. They really don't care. So the people I get in tow, they'll be the first people who kinda keep me in check. So I don't wanna get caught up in this that much."

What song best describes their life now or a song that they can relate to?

Cook mentioned "Living in the Fast Lane" by the Eagles, while Archuleta answered "These Words" by Natasha Bedingfield.
