David Cook performed an acoustic “Time of My Life” as the US Olympic team filed off the stage during today’s Oprah Winfrey Show. Today’s season premiere featured the US Olympic team.
Oprah introduced “Time of My Life” as the “signature theme of the Beijing games.” Pretty sweet! Magic Rainbows for everyone!
Watch the video after the JUMP…
awesome performance by DC, but dammit, I too forgot to set my DVR! Usually they re-run Oprah around midnight in my area. I hope that is still the case.
Hooray for Magic Rainbows! Good exposure for the AI Season 7 winner.
For anyone who watched the show, the woman who high-fived Cookie, I think was the same one who did the cartwheel when Oprah asked the Women’s Track & Field team to come up. I thought that was Stephanie Brown-Trafton. As for the athlete who put the gold on Cookie’s chest, not sure who he was.
I watched the rerun of Oprah tonight just so I could see Cookie on the big screen. It was so heartwarming to see all the Olympians on stage together. I was so stoked when Cookie was announced, he looked fantastic and sounded great.
What a lovely show. And Cookie looked and sounded mahhhvelous, as usual. Dammit – the song has really gotten to me. I was all verkempt! Way to go, DC. Awesome.
Gold medals all around… to MJ, to Oprah, to those wonderful, lovely, inspiring Olympians who had me transfixed last month, and to David for doing such a beautiful job (and looking gorgeous and happy while he did it). It was a great show!
Everything about him reduces me to a squealing 13 yr old girl.
Score! I just remembered that Oprah re-airs in my area as well, at 9 pm, so I WILL have this on my DVR for posterity’s sake.
Woo hoo!
Thanks MJ for the video. That was such a great show all the way around. Did you notice Oprah’s face after she hugged David ?? She had this cougar grin like “oh my he is gorgeous up close!!!!” Ya, he’ll be on her show, I’d bet my measley paycheck on it. :wink1_tb:
I know this was the athlete’s time to get some love from the crowd, but would it be too much to ask just have the bottom corner of the screen devoted to David singing the whole song?? :rolleyes_tb:
I never watch Oprah but had to record the show today to catch DC. Now, I haven’t been following the tour for a little while now but wow, he looks GOOD! and has managed to keep his voice in tip top condition it seems
Super job on the song. Cheesing away in front of millions of viewers and the Olympic stars on freakin Oprah no less didn’t faze him one bit. Goosebumps! Hee I remember now why I’m a fan. Yay David!!!
That was lovely. I don’t have any other words to describe it….
Oh my gosh!!! That was awesome! I got tears in my eyes! DC looked so happy as some of them greeted him as they passed by, and they definately showed him much more than I expected! AND Oprah called it the signature song of the Olympics!!! WOW!
MJ, as soon as I knew I would miss this show I just simply thought I’ll just watch it on mj’s!!! THANK YOU so much!!!
What a moment for Cook! He’s having plenty of those this year though.
Way to go David Cook!!! You are living your dream! And you looked and sounded incredible!
:clap_tb:
tears and chills all around for me
oh boy, i had the TIME OF MY LIFE watching this (over & over & over & …)
oprah seems very smitten with the hottie cookie (who can blame her, right?) and his SIGNATURE song for the olympics!
oh he’ll be back on that show alright and soon!
i think i’ll go to O’s website to thank her for sharring her stage with MR. David Roland Cook.
cookie, short-cutting so many artists working their buttocks to get on oprah’s show, that is all kind of WIN.
this guy is THE GEM. i can feel the “Bono Vibe” around him.
and thank you so much MJ for this.
Holy Cow! DC is looking so fine with his hair cut, and also looking really rested-Gorgeous just gorgeous! What an honor and how incredibly lucky for DC that all the stars aligned and this “cheesy rainbow” (which I have always liked) song became his months before the Olympics-it is a PERFECT song for sports moments and will be used for years to come. Some of the athletes looked as stoked to meet him as he was to be there with them! What an unbelievable summer this man has had WOW! I can’t wait for whats next!
Thank you, thank you. I was at worked and missed it and was totally bummed out. David Cook just gets finer every day. Love the hair cut, love the smile, love the song, love the voice. Well, I just love the guy. Thanks for sharing the video.
i’ll post it here too because i know the cookie love is very much focused on this specific thread right now and i think you all should see it (MJ if it’s not ok just erase it)
someone on d-c.org said that cookieà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s new SINGLE is out september 15th, thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s NEXT MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!
there is also the newsletter message about the single on DCà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s myspace so
COULD THIS BE TRUE?
Oh my, sprinting to those places now to check it out!
Thank you so much for posting this, MJ! I actually HAD remembered to set my DVR but the freakin’ power went out at 2:00 pm and didn’t come on again until 10:00. I would have been so despondent if I hadn’t known I could come here and watch the video.
I really am so sick of that song (and I don’t even listen to commercial radio), but dammit if that performance didn’t make me tear up all over again, just like I did back in May when DC won. He sounded awesome, and I thought Oprah’s producers did a great job of finding just the right balance. Good times!
That boy is hot…blazing, molton hot. And yes Michelle, his voice has held up wonderfully.
So happy for him.
I too noticed that some of the athletes seemed as jazzed to see him as the audience was to see them. Perhaps some of the audience came to see David? that woulda been the draw for me…I confess.
I can’t explain why I’m so invested in this boy, but I am and I’m enjoying every moment I spend following his burgeoning career.
