   Wow, wow, wow!!!
   This is the best video I’ve seen yet of any performance on this tour. Simply breathtaking!
   Thank you so much for sharing this, MJ!
   WOW.

   This Cooktard is hyperventilating! Christ almighty!

   He is luscious.

   And I love his new shorty short hair cut!

   He should lighten up on the guyliner.
   It ruins his look.

   Thank you, MJ.
   That was awesome! I won’t be attending any of the AI tour shows, but when Cook goes out on his own or as an opening act for a bigger headliner, I will most definitely be there.
   I was looking at the video VERY closely and I didn’t see any guyliner, or if there was any, it was minimal at best. But dude can wail and his arms are ripped.
   It did, however, look like he was about to suck the mic up his nose when he let out the 9 second glory note. But that’s all right; he carries Lysol with him.
   Thanks again; this was indeed a fabulous, breathtaking performance.

    He should lighten up on the guyliner.

    The guyliner was very much on display for the St. Louis show, but I hardly saw any on this video. Maybe I should have a closer look, that shouldn’t be too much of a hardship… LOL

    For those looking for some HQ Cookie, this is a wonderful collection of pics from the Portland show, including the now legendary water bottle incident.

    I hope he shaves that beard off soon and spikes his hair more. Maybe he wants to attract more adult contemporary crowds with this bearded look with matching flat hair. His singing is superb thou! Always hitting those high notes. He is using proper technique so he won’t be loosing his voice anytime soon. I just hope he doesn’t catch a cold.

    Thank you ! He looked and sounded incredible ! It is such a trip to be right here right now witnessing the changes and simply see him grow into a great, great artist that he is on his way to becoming.

13. 13 Layla Jul 20th, 2008 at 8:39 am

    OMG…how do I love him..let me count the ways……..

14. 14 carolina Jul 20th, 2008 at 8:44 am

    Awww, Cookie is starting a new trend — instead of the comb-over (ala Donald Trump) he’s invented the comb forward !

    That guy is all kinds of talented !

    (and he can SING).

15. 15 Steph Jul 20th, 2008 at 8:59 am

    Great video! He looks so serious and focused on the song - wonderful. I don’t mind the guyliner, but I am glad he’s not wearing that vest. Has he dropped that from his wardrobe?

16. 16 spritely Jul 20th, 2008 at 9:15 am

    Holy microphone grab, Batman, that was the hottest video of him singing that I’ve ever seen. Mj FTW! Good lawdy Miss Claudie, hand me my fan.

17. 17 Lu Jul 20th, 2008 at 9:32 am

    THAT was hot!

18. 18 ShariG Jul 20th, 2008 at 9:40 am

    He was so awesome last night in Chicago. To me he can do no wrong, except perhaps having me wait in the heat, humidity, and rain for six hours and then not coming out to greet fans. I forgave him though the minute he said “Hello”. This guy is just so far above the normal contestants on American Idol that it just isn’t even funny. Loved it. Love him.

19. 19 kathrynTX Jul 20th, 2008 at 9:59 am

    Oh. my. I’ve been trying NOT to watch concert vids cause I’m going to 2 shows and…I wanted to be surprised…and…I don’t know, why the hell haven’t I been watching vids from other shows? AAGGGGHHHH! This is fan-f-ing-tastic. I. just. love. him. How can he sound good on this little video even? Oh oh oh. And then he points to AC to make sure we remember. And throws his pick into the audience, just like at a David Cook concert hahaha. The way he sings this joint here is the reason he’s doing this. He’s just gotta do it. He makes me think and feel whenever I hear him sing. Yes, ShariG, he is WAY out there, compared to the other contestants. I thought that all season and especially after I heard his own writing. Oh. Love you David Cook and can hardly contain myself waiting for the 2 AI shows, your new album, and more than anything, to see a David Cook concert. Thank you, sweetestheart, for everything. OH and THANK YOU MJ! You are fabulous too!

    Just a thought on the eyeliner in St. Louis–could have been due to smudged tears, what with his family and friends there.

21. 21 Mia Jul 20th, 2008 at 10:22 am

    Spritely, that makes sense. Cookie is the most emotional rocker I have seen. Manly man not afraid to weep. How could you not love him.

22. 22 gingerly Jul 20th, 2008 at 10:28 am

    I’m unconcerned with guyliner, vests, haircuts. He’s amazingly beautiful no matter what he looks like. I just want to relive last night over and over. When is he coming back to Chicago? I may be looking at driving to Grand Rapids or Fort Wayne for another show or hell, maybe both. It was that great!

23. 23 JudyOhio Jul 20th, 2008 at 10:34 am

    I always thought his eyes were a little blank, so I love the guyliner! It looks great on him! Great performance too! Thx MJ.

24. 24 Sarah Jul 20th, 2008 at 11:17 am

    I don’t mind the guyliner, but I am glad he’s not wearing that vest.

    OMG, you and me both. I was thrilled beyond belief when it was missing from his wardrobe last night. Hopefully it’s gone forever. Heh.

25. 25 lala Jul 20th, 2008 at 11:44 am

    Oh, wow, mj! Awesome video. The Cooktards will be very, very happy! ;)

    Oh yes, this Cooktard was acting like such a tard when she was actually there watching him sing it, that it’s nice to be able to go back and watch it in a more calm state. :) Thanks MJ!

26. 26 FolkFan Jul 20th, 2008 at 11:59 am

    That was one of the best videos to come out of the tour yet. Thank you, MJ!

27. 27 Lisa Jul 20th, 2008 at 12:43 pm

    including the now legendary water bottle incident

    I am behind the time, what is the water bottle incident? I did not see a pic of it?

    I hope he shaves that beard off soon and spikes his hair more. Maybe he wants to attract more adult contemporary crowds with this bearded look with matching flat hair

    DC’s hawtness factor went up 100% on the show after he got his new look in *all* age groups, I personally saw the surge in posts on several sites. I don’t believe it was just for the adult contemps.

    As far as the guyliner, does not bother me one bit. I understand the reasons for them doing it, his lashes are so light.

    For the peeps at the show. Was David happy at all through the concert? In this video, he looked kinda sad. Just wondering if he had gotten bad news or something. Amazing vocals again! Course I could listen to David sing just about anything. Wait, I have! Magic rainbows & wishing upon a star. Yep! The boy is a star!

    I think it’s this and this. ;)

    *more from v williams here*

    ETA: I’m sorry, Jolene. Apparently, that’s the very same flicker page you linked to (just a different page). Heh.

29. 29 Lisa Jul 20th, 2008 at 1:14 pm

    Thank you Purps. I bet the crowd went wild.

30. 30 Jolene Jul 20th, 2008 at 2:04 pm

    Lisa, I take it you haven’t seen the video documentation?
    A must for all DC fans! Let me rectify the situation:

32. 32 mac Jul 20th, 2008 at 5:17 pm

    Oh my! The way he man handles that guitar at the end with such force. He’s strumming it like there’s no tomorrow. *fans herself*. Very hot!

33. 33 dante Jul 20th, 2008 at 7:38 pm

    OMG OMG My heart is racing,,,,

    He is such a STAR - looks like he has been playing large arenas forever!!!

    Wow - I am just amazed !!!!

34. 34 Hisaki Jul 20th, 2008 at 9:40 pm

    Thank you like heck, MJ. I’ve been looking forward to hearing him perform the full version live, and damn was this live version something. :)

35. 35 D.CookiesHoneyLove08 Jul 20th, 2008 at 11:01 pm

    Thanx for everything MJ. Ur the best. He’s definitely a star that shines brighter than all.
