   I was just glad to see them both happy. Cook didn’t seem great at the Mike and Juliet show — he seemed pissed off to me. Wasn’t this taped the same day?

   Anyway they had a good time at this one. What did Cook bend down to pick up after the silly boxing piece? The poor girls got tickets in their mouths (ott much?) and Cook bends down in the foreground to pick something up which he shares with Archey… was it bet money?

   Thanks for posting this MJ. I can wake up, drink my coffee, and get my AI news all in one place thanks to you.

   This interview was a little different than the others without ALL the standard questions they have been getting. I loved, loved, loved that he had them actually sing the phone book. It was “molten hot”! LOL! I think they should do this in concert.

   What I get from this is that Archie is VERY young. He seems a little lost and at a loss for words. I get the sense he kind of looks up to Cook like a big brother, and Cook is comfortable in that role. It seems like they have a good relationship with eachother.

   Oh, and did you catch the guy in the green and white striped shirt at the beginning of part one jumping around like a nut? ha! ha!

   I just heard on the radio that David Archuleta is calling in on the Kidd Kraddick show this morning in case anyone is interested.

   Sorry MJ about putting that info in this thread. I didn’t know where to go with it as the headline thread isn’t up yet.

   wfowfowfo, I noticed that too.. Cook picking up something and kind of waving it, but they didn’t show it again or comment…

   Kirsten, you said (jokingly i believe): “I hear that Archie dude went off-script and not only sang lyrics that weren’t approved, but also bought some mac nuts from the hotel mini-bar so Nigel has to economize where he can”

   I just wanted to clarify for those who don’t just take it as a joke… he did not go off-script, against the producers wishes. He said in an interview this week that he had no clue he wasn’t supposed to sing that bit, and that nobody told him not to sing it, and that in fact it wasn’t even his or his dad’s idea to begin with! So, I’m a bit sensitive when I do read these things, even as jokes. I don’t appreciate it when I hear in random radio clips the djs joking about his dad beating him too… this is pure conjecture on their part, for all we know, it was cook’s dad beating on david cook, rather than archie’s dad. but, i would never ever joke about it b/c there is no truth behind it.

   I totally agree….I find Cook to be the nicest guy and he does have a very dry sense of humor which often flies over people’s heads. I don’t find him cockey at all but genuine and trying to make light of the situation he’s in and he clearly doesn’t take himself that seriously. These poor guys are asked the same questions all the time. I’ve seen Cook protect Archie–particularly when Archie was asked about his father’s interference and/or influence and he constantly praises Archie. I’ve seen Cook defend Jason when a stupid emailer on Larry King inferred Jason was spacey because he used to smoke weed. Cook is definitely the spokesman of the group because he clearly knows what he’s doing and how to speak in public. I wasn’t a fan of Archie’s but he seems like a nice kid also and they have such a good relationship (brotherly) that it has made me warm up to Archie as he clearly looks up to Cook. Well, who wouldn’t look up to Cook?

   Well, Cook IS 8 years older than Archie, and when you are younger, this IS a pretty large age gap. I don’t think there should be any surprise that he will act very young compared to Cook, who actually comes across as a little older than 25 with his somewhat stoic personality.

   As for their brotherly relationship, I’m loving it. But David Archuleta is so loveable that I can’t imagine anybody not wanting to protect and take care of him, and just totally love him!!!

   I think the media needs new material to discuss with these guys. The questions they keep fielding about appealing to cougars, the negative media surrounding Archie’s dad, Simon’s apology, etc. is getting tired. I understand that they are fresh off AI and until they release something, there isn’t much else to discuss in these interviews, but I can imagine how tiresome it must be for them to keep answering the same questions everywhere they go.

   As to the spokesperson question, didn’t he say to the other contestants on LKL, I hope you’ll let me be your spokesperson (or something along those lines).

   I forgot who it was that said (after the KC hoopla started) Cook needed PR, but I’m thinking it must’ve kicked in! In the headlines thread yesterday I posted a link to an Access Hollywood interview where they mentioned KC and he said “its complicated” and then held up his hand, wiggled his fingers and said, he isn’t married. LOL, good PR move since a lot was made of his date with KC by his fans. I’m a huge Cook fan but I’m totally okay with him having a personal life. I do.

   AInoob,
   A lot of people don’t watch all the various interviews, they maybe catch one.. so it only makes sense that they talk about the most relevant questions that people in general want to know about or hear. It’s only the die-hards that follow their every move that get bored w/the questions, but it’s to be expected.

He said in an interview this week that he had no clue he wasn’t supposed to sing that bit, and that nobody told him not to sing it, and that in fact it wasn’t even his or his dad’s idea to begin with!

   LOL. And he didn’t eat the mac nuts from the mini-bar either.

   Actually, I was poking fun at the entire concept that he “had gone off script” and “sung a bit of a song that hadn’t been approved”. I never believed that rumour for a minute. Nigel scripts those shows down to the last second. Nobody is sneaking any lyrics by him. Plus, it was confirmed by the people who attended the rehearsals that David had sung the same words. The entire rumour was absurd (along with the rumours that Jeff was everything from a Master Arranger to Master Psycholigist to Master Hacker to Master Publicist…you get the drift). I tend to mock the absurd.

   It is interesting to hear confirmation that it wasn’t David or his Dad. Even more interesting, it was somebody from the show who suggested those lines. Very knollish. Where did TMZ get the leak? TMZ seems totally connected with the show. What was the endgame? Dun-Duh-Dun-Dun!

    Like me!

    It really is time to get my life back in order. It’s the “end of the month” and I’ve got real work to get together. I doubt my salesmen would take an “I’ve been obsessing over David Cook and too busy to get your commissions together” as a valid excuse for lack of pay checks….

    I’m going to miss all these D2 fixes, but it’s time for the to get to work on the tour and leave us along for a bit.

    They have all defended each other. When Simon bashed one of Jason’s song, Archie defended him onstage. Archie defended Sysha on LKL. Archie constantly gives Cooks his props, going so far as to mention his friends loving Cook and having his songs on their Myspace. This is no one way street here. It’s easy to be magnanimous when you win. Doing so when you lose is just as great. Both of these guys deserve all the credit. They are amazing human beings and it shows in these intervies. I mean Archie could be going around like McTatas talking about he’s a winner too. In retrospect the kid is wise beyond his years.

    Lisa emailed me a link to a radio interview, and apparently, the PR people are telling interviewers they can no longer ask questions about KC.

    That couldn’t happen soon enough for me! lol.
