David Cook – American Idols Live – Glendale AZ – VIDEO

Video posted here: A partial “Hello”, “Billie Jean” and “My Hero”. As he’s introducing “Hero” David tells the audience that he got great news–his brother Adam’s tumor has stopped growing. Very good news, indeed!
Warning: The sound quality is TERRIBLE.
David performed a very energetic set. David Archuleta introduced him to the crowd, There was a long pause and musical introduction as Cookie took the stage. It was very dramatic! “Billie Jean” was the first song of the encore, which included all the Idols performing “Please Don’t Stop the Music”
Great set–I wished he’d gone acoustic at one point, and I missed “Always Be My Baby”, I would have preferred that to “Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” but those are small caveats. David was a natural in front of the arena crowd.
That’s it for the videos. I have photos of all the other Idols, and will post a longer recap… Stay tuned.
Hello (partial):
My Hero:
Billie Jean:



ROCK STAR.
“The way he agressively hits those chords when he sings the line à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“or is someone lovinà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ is one of the hottest things Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve ever seen him doà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦”
This is the point where he had me in week 3. I had always liked him, and he really had me from the beginning of ‘Hello’, but “or is someone loving you” was when I fell off my couch.
Time Of My Life
My Hero
So GOOD!!! Love that mic-twirling, fun-having, ROCKSTAR David is BACK! He was made for the stage, and watching him on it is such a pure pleasure.
I don’t even have the words. these are going to be exciting 2 1/2 months.

OMG!!!! He is such a rock star!! I am just amazed at how confident and at ease he is on stage.
You guys are KILLING me with all the extra links, LOL. I just know the people walking past my desk are wondering what the hell I’m staring at so fixedly on my monitor.
So. Damn. Hot.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU MJ!!! I have never been a fangirly before! I’m old enough to be a cougar, but can’t bring myself to call myself this! (No offense to those who do.)
Hello-chills!!!!
Hero- workin the stage!!!!
Billie Jean – not a profanity user, but I’m feeling every word you’re all saying! If I allowed myself I could gush an gush an gush!!!!
I’ve heard this, read it, said it, thought it many times: What is it about this guy!!!!!!!!????
Now, I have to collect myself for a few minutes before going to watch IDWMAT.
Boyfriend knows how to work a stage! Amazing performances. His album will be incredible, I just know it.
I just don’t have any freaking words anymore.
HOW is he going to do THAT for 52 nights almost in a row?
I LOVE his DWTMAT performance. I just happened to hear S. Tyler do it yesterday, and–no offense intended to ST fans– I realized how much I prefer DC’s version. It seems more heartfelt to me, more about a guy really truly doting on a woman, where ST’s seems more self-indulgent and about the guy, if that makes any sense.
Thanks for the other links everyone! I absolutely love DWTMAT! How amazing he is!! TOML wonderful! And I just love the woman’s comment at the end. OMG! (that’s what she said).
GEEK4VOCAB, “HOW is he going to do THAT for 52 nights almost in a row?” I’m wondering the same thing! He hasn’t ceased to amaze yet and in 21 days I plan on being amazed!
ok… I didn’t think about a long version of Hello. I’m sweating… sheesh.
spritely, I so agree with you on DWTMAT. I heard TOML on the radio a couple of wks ago and then heard the intro. to DWTMAT begin. For a moment I thought it was DC!! Then reality struck and I knew right away it couldn’t be. Oh how I longed to hear his voice singing it….on the radio. Now I will on tour!
Cookie sounds fine but he looks ridiculous. His mngmt needs to get him a stylist.
I think that vest is solely to spite Bax and her disdain of the “Innocent” jacket. LOL.
It’s the vest plus the guitar strap plus all that other stuff.
Is the tour stylist an Archie fan? Oh wait, Archie looks pretty goofy too.
I thought Cookie looked excellent. What’s wrong with the guitar strap? Oh, and am I the only one who took until now to notice he has AC on that too?
thought I was over him. I had gone cold turkey for two weeks. I kept trying to picture him with KC. I avoided all those giga of his music on my ipod.
All useless. What was I thinking. Oh well.
:wub_tb:
jpfan, I agree, he needs to lose the vest!
The runaway hormones on this thread is hilarious! Party on everyone.
Hey, the vest means he’s dressed up!
Me? I love his inimitable Cookie Style. Bling, boots, vests, straps, watches the size of the clock on the Tower of London, wristbands, enough necklaces to re-open his father’s jewelry store. . .it’s just all so him, lol. Which, to me, means spontaneous, enthusiastic, in love with practically everything he encounters, totally willing to look goofy in the service of music/a good cause/making somebody happy, or whatever. Honestly, he cracks me up and makes me smile like that Happy Face sticker he had on his hat the other night. Really, a happy face. (rolls eyes and then chuckles) Here, Sweetheart, have another bracelet, hee.
I also love him when he’s formal and stylish, but he did say he’s a slob. World’s best looking slob, is all I can say.
David Cook + Full Studio Version of Hello = :money_mouth_tb: :money_mouth_tb: :money_mouth_tb:
Gwen, move over, joinin’ ya in rehab *sigh*.
Loved these! Thanks!
C’mon in, while there’s still room.
Well it looks like DC will never satisfy everyone – like the vest, don’t like the vest, like the bling, don’t like the bling, like the boots, don’t like the boots, like the song choices, don’t like the song choices – what’s a guy to do?
I say ignore everyone and do your own thing – cause that is mighty fine!! (Let everyone else dress themselves and pick songs when they win AI.)
I love the vest and the vest-over-little-white-T look just about the best of anything he wore on the show. He’s rockin’ it.
