Wow. So Syesha sang Summertime at her homecoming concert huh? LOL. I hope she doesn’t do that on the show Tuesday. I will have to throw my shoe at the TV.

The First time is a single off of Leona’s CD….I guess Simon likes it a lot.

Pretty funny to hear Archie begin to say “we’re working our as… off” and change it to booties in the nick of time. He seem tons more normal off the show (to me anyway.)

Thanks for that video of Archie, mj. Looks like his peeps should have maybe squeezed in one more event if they have that many at an autograph signing. Yikes! I wonder how school attendance is in Utah today?

Well let me tell you….Miss Syesha has finally caught on and is showing some skin and boobs and if she does it again next week….she may well end up in 2nd place…WATCH OUT for Miss Syesha who has finally come alive and figured this thing out!

David Cook feels the power and the light in downtown KC

That’s right milajoy. Those tickets for Cookie apparently sold out in a matter of minutes! I wish I could be there but I live too far away. lol

There was 3500 for the Power and Light concert for Cook.

I know…plus the pouring rain in KC. Cook will have over 10,000 tonight too…it was just insane at archies autograph signing …mostly because they were not prepared for it at all…the cops looked scared…lol

You make it sound like DC had nobody showing up for his homecoming. Thousands came to his concert. And I’m not surprised people came to see Archie. Good for him. I hope people show up for Syesha…seriously.

BTW, people should have gone to see Archie’s AT/T signing because that’s all he has before he goes to his high school (I would bring ear muffs for that…that will be LOUD…can you imagine thousands of screaming teenage girls…). So basically, if you can’t see Archie at school, you’d better as hell show up for the AT&T signing. And what moron actually thought that only 500 people were going to show up for that? That’s a crock and they know it.

I’m not surprised at the bedlam for Archie. He may have no fans here but I’m sure his homecoming is mass insanity.

milajoy — Fri, 09 May 2008 17:47:14 +0000

Did you all see Archies autograph signing. it was bedlam. They were expecting like 500 for the AT&T signing and THOUSANDS showed up. Instead of staying an hour he only stayed about 20 minutes. They ran out of pics and were scared for his safely. Dammitt…I want a Cook win, but this really reminded me of Taylors homecoming.

As a fellow DC fan, thought I’d chime in with my two-cents (for what it’s worth). Been watching on and off all morning (have to watch how much streaming I do at work as I got busted for youtube twice!)and it strikes me that David is completely overwhelmed and very humble. I’ve never actually thought he comes across as smug or arrogant but I think his appearances today totally put those perceptions into perspective.

I think they have a sense of their growing popularity from the appearances they do as part of idol but it seems that the home visits are when reality hits and the idols fully begin to grasp that they really have stepped out of anonymity and have way more fans than the girls in the mosh pit.

I loved that he gave his brother a shout out . I was a little worried about him being crushed in the stampede of fans surrounding him as they led him out of the concert. Oh, and he’s a leftie (just like me so I always notice these random things).

Oh, this is too funny. Some female correspondent on Fox 4 just confessed on camera that she has a little crush on DCook. Only I doubt she knew she was on the air. It sure didn’t look like she knew.
Awesome.

BTW – that chat had almost 2500 people at one point.

That was an awesome concert! That was really amazing how many people were in the chat! We definitely crashed it! lol

He did “Living On A Prayer” from his audition (full song – it was a long good one) and “ABMB” – not the full song, only what he did on AI. It was very emotional and heartfelt, but I hated how they paraded him through the crowd afterwards – That can’t be a very joyful experience, to be mobbed like that.
He was wonderful though, very communicative with the audience, very calm on stage. The audio in the live feed was terribel, I hope they’ll fix that for later.

Ok first concert over. Over 2500 peeps ended up in live feed chat and we crashed the chat several times, lol. That was just great! GOOOOO DC!!!

He was crying. Did he finish it?

He’s doing an acoustic Always Be My Baby! WOAH.

Singing “Living on a Prayer” – his audition song. HOT!!

By: GwendolynD

He almost looks like he’ll cry…again.

I actually watched David A’s Fox interview. He was completely articulate, intelligent and not at all the giggling nitwit people would expect. If he wins AI, he’ll be completely fine doing media. His brain must go on vapor lock on the show, because he can talk.

By: Jolene

Jolene — Fri, 09 May 2008 16:08:28 +0000

1700 right now in the chat. And growing.
He’s about to go on soon. It’s so funny how excited I am for this little show which will probably only include 2-3 songs.

OK – 2000 now. And that went up QUICK!

By: Lisa

Lisa — Fri, 09 May 2008 15:50:06 +0000

1300 peeps on DC live feed waiting to watch the concert. The numbers are raising really fast now.

Thank you so much Jolene!!!!

edit: almost 1400 now. This is so cool.

Here is the 3rd Radio interview Cook did for 93.3 (It’s the emotional one). I didn’t have time to edit it, but I know some of you want to hear it ASAP.

Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?mbxjwm1y9dx

If anybody has his first interview recorded (The “boxers of briefs” one), I’d love to hear it.

The radio station is going to be replaying the audio of Cookie's interview at some point. Here is the link to the live feed from the local Fox station. They have been the process of setting the stage up.

dancin, I’m sure it’ll turn up soon enough on one of his fansites. People are sure to be recording every little thing that goes on today.
So far – Fox 4 morning show and 3 radio interviews. I haven’t missed anything else, have I?
