well hell, i dont know about u guys, but i could have completely skipped this interview altogether. it was the EXACT SAME interview as Leno’s, pretty much word for word. oh well, at least he sang this time. =)
annoula– i agree w/ backing down w/ the grammy/oscar stuff. i was actually kinda surprised he went there. twice now. not that i totally couldnt see him doing the acting thing, but lets get the cd off the ground first ok cookie?
well, i think there are pretty strict AI codes, both written and un-written, as to what these contestants can talk about right out of the gate. for instance, all the questions i have about future music and the fate of analog heart and his other recorded cd, are all off-limits for now. i’m sure the negotiations regarding much of it are going on even as we speak. and much of the more personal stuff, david obviously would prefer to keep private. so we’ll just have to wait for david’s music to say it all for him.
o/t– have heard the song on RD 3 times now in 2 days. would have prolly heard it more, but i do have to work and stuff. =)
also, even tho mj said it wasnt a good idea, i couldnt help myself and had to call 2 of my local radio stations to see if i could request it. here was what happened:
first station:
dj: “2nite at 10, we will have our battle royale (where one new song goes up against another, and the listeners call in to pick their fave one). if he wins that, you’ll keep hearing the song.”
i dont know who he is going up against, but no way they are better than cookie.
second station:
dj: “once the song starts moving up the charts, we’ll start playing it.”
me: “how can it move up the charts if radio wont play it?”
dj: “oh, i’m sure it will.”
then i thought to myself, hell isnt it number one on itunes?? cant move up much more than that!
anyway, i’m now patiently awaiting 10 oclock so i can vote (again).
I have not heard him sound off at all in all the singing and interviews since last week. He is very consistent and hits that falsetto just perfect every time. I love that he is singing the song that was his choice for the finale and was criticized for it by the judges. Way to stand up and be yourself. I think you have a wonderful career ahead of you Mr David Cook! Rock on and we will follow.
Agree…I have his live ToML and the studio version next to each other on my playlist and he’s just as note perfect live as he is on the record…and has been so far in every live performance. He’s just so effortless
Pretty, pretty version of TWIK today on Ellen…the sound quality was kind of yuck on my TV (piano and guitar sounded tinny) but it must’ve sounded beautiful live.
I read somewhere that Kimberly Caldwell is now the “top search” on Yahoo. lol
Some DC crack for the cooktards (I’m sorry if they had been posted elsewhere already)…

ETA: Loved TWIK here. When is he going to sing Dream Big again, though? lol
Thanks so much for the MP3… love this version.
gosh, he’s so tired. I believe it’s the day after his winning, still in his old clothes (he changed the t-shirt), even they said “last week’s finale”. Wonder how many times he have told his audition story so far.
But I do like his “The World I Know” (apparently more than ToML) a lot, so full of emotion.
Just noticed in the pics, he bites his nails to the quick like Taylor…numbie numbies, lol
nubby nubbies I meant to type, lol….sheesh Judy… :doh_tb:
Is he a smoker like Taylor? Just curious- could explain the gravelly ability on the voice. So pure yet so able. I was listening to the Steven Tyler song tonight- he really could be mistaken for the old rocker on several measures! ha ha
ha ha ha — errr, mj needs a manager sooo I’ll fill in for a minute. MJ charges $600.00 for 15 minutes for special request searchs. If she’s successful, it’s another $600.00 to rip it. She only accepts cash in advance.
:biggrin_wp:
Does anyone know how much of Chris Daughtry’s original pre-Idol band was able to be a part of DAUGHTRY. Just curious. I don’t think Taylor was able to do anything with his old group, but he is just now getting to do what he wants his own way after Idol.
Thoughts?
dollypintn–
according to his OLD myspace page, where it said: smoke/drink….
smoke:no
drink:yes
btw from my o/t earlier, cookie won the battle royale so yay.
i’m so going to bed now. i’m checking back in the morning tho so what cookie shows are on tomorrow? tia!
I think by an oscar he is meaning for a movie score, not acting. Like Annie Lennox did for The Return of the King, and Enya did for The Fellowship of the Ring, etc. Guess that gives away a trio of movies that I love:)
Yes he did. I voted. I thought my voting days were over. LOL Yes, I’m from Wilmington too.
Ellen is so good at what she does. And that song-i loved it. Ya know, Randy said he might be able to get by with that kind of song. I didn’t understand his get by comment, but , oh well-it was Randy.
Oops. Sorry, mj. I posted before reading and couldn’t edit anymore when I went back to my post…
Awww…that was SWEET! Looks like he’s gotten a little rest. And his voice sounds better. I’m so looking forward to hearing more. He’s probably going FULL THROTTLE on the songwriting ideas. :thumbup_tb:
I don’t know about Daughtry’s band (I believe they were all new guys?). Taylor’s keyboard player, Brian Less, did get to join his tour band for the spring 2007 dates.
Pam!!!!
No.Way.
Do u wanna be best friends? lololol
b/c my ACTUAL bff’s arent into AI (bastards).
anyway, love it. dont forget to vote again 2nite at 10, lol.
