Matt and Meredith interview the Davids:
I hate this term “cougars” and loath “half dead broads” (though I acknowledge that this is probably more tongue in cheek).
I am first to admit, as a mumble mumble aged woman that I had a crush on David Cook. It came out. of. the. blue. But I had a fulfilling life before and during AI and am living that life after. There is nothing half dead about me!! I find both terms derogatory and very unnecessary. Both are a great disservice to his fan base.
I refuse to accept either label for myself.
Thanks for all the links and videos MJ
Love Cookie and all, but seriously HOW many times is going to use the line “it’s amazing what a haircut and forgetting to shave can do?” Get some new material, man.
Maybe he figures if reporters can’t come up with unique questions, he should just give the same old answers.
I see what you’re saying Sarah, and you have a point….I guess I just feel like he could at least try to re-phrase it somehow. It’s starting to sound overly canned and rehearsed.
Its funny you said that because I commented to a friend of mine just this afternoon that he should respond a different way to that question (and that they need to come up with different questions). My friend said “well he’s got some cougar hitting on him, what should he say that wouldn’t come across as conceited or arrogant?” I guess I could see her point. But these questions are all really repetitive, I can’t wait until they have new material to discuss.
The Davids may not realize that there are crazy fans out here watching ALL of these interviews. They probably assume it’s a new crowd every time, for whome the punch lines aren’t stale yet.
Considering everything, they’re doing very well.
No one’s put his hand on anyone’s mouth yet.
Teresa75, I just noticed this additional comment of yours. The reason his responses sound rehearsed is because… they ARE rehearsed. He’s already given the same answers to countless radio and tv stations since the Idol finale. If they keep asking the same questions, he’s sure to have the responses down pat. He barely has enough time to sleep; I don’t think we should be expecting him to think up new ways to phrase his answers so that fans who follow his every waking move won’t get bored.
Yes, he sounded a bit rehearsed but I dont think that he was given a script or anything…. It’s more of like he’s asked the same questions over and over–I kind blame the shows for not coming up with something new..
I liked his Early Edition interview/performance. Something new from him especially the British accent.
