Every year sees “American Idol” hopefuls mimic what worked the previous year, and what led David Cook to victory in season seven was tweaking the arrangements to fit his own style rather than doing a glorified karaoke routine each week.

New this year: Fourth judge Kara DioGuardi, 36 instead of 24 semifinalists, the return of the wild-card round, and no Thursday episodes.
