This week, TV Guide runs a one page piece on David Cook and his brother Adam. By now I’m sure most of you know about Adam’s advanced brain cancer and his trip on a medical jet–funded by folks back home–to Los Angeles to see his brother perform. To the casual AI viewer? It might be news, because David has never discussed his brother on the show.
Also in TV Guide, a little blurb about David Cook and Michael Johns–they plan to write songs together. Plus, Kristy Lee Cook’s recent engagement.
“Who is Your Biggest Supporter?” US magazine asks the Top 6. Brooke White and Carly Smithson rely on their husbands. David Cook and Jason Castro are close to their moms. Syesha Mercado leans on her fiance for support. And of course, David Archuleta has his Dad. Eep.
Read more after the jump…
From the April 4th issue of TV Guide:
From the May 5 issue of US Magazine - The Idols and their Biggest Supporters:
…and I can’t wait to hear the result of the Cook/Johns collaboration.
Oh me too. I’d love to hear anything with the 2 of them singing it.
I’ll admit, Michael johns does look pretty good in that picture. I think he was one of the better looking guys in the competition, but i think part of the reason he didn’t make it much further is b/c of his age. jmo.
That hotness factor may be too much to handle, though.
GwendolynD, me neither. I do wonder if they would do a duet, or maybe the collaboration is more along the lines of writing together for one of them.
The article seemed to imply DC wanted Michael to write for his upcoming album.
Since I’m not familiar with Michael’s original work, I don’t know what to make of that, but I do love the thought of the BFFs being creative together.
CALLING ALL WHO DO NOT FIND DC AND MJ ATTRACTIVE!!!!!
Am I alone??
*Hears birds chirping softly in the distance*
Seriously, I would be very interested in listening to their collaboration. I adore DC as a musical artist. Just not as eye candy.
LOL, KK. I think SpenserJ doesn’t seem to find DC all that attractive, though, so you’re not completely alone on that. Haha.
I agree too, DC is NOT eye candy. Sorry. when I first saw him, I thought he looked like the farmer turned alien in Men In Black.
When I first saw DC, I think I called him Perez Hilton’s long lost son. I have since changed my mind. LOL.
pj, omg.. you’re so right!!! i see the connection between dc and perez hilton!!! that is funny.
Here’s my story:
During “Hello” DCook suddenly transformed from a douche bag into Brad Pitt. I’m not kidding.
oopss…wrong thread
I don’t see what all the frak is about Brad Pitt, but if y’all love him, then I wholeheartedly agree with this. :)
Hisaki, I’m not into Brad Pitt, either. I’m a Johnny Depp kinda girl. ;-)
Hisaki- You my sweet girl are brillant. Never understood the Brad Pitt love…but hey if that works in DC’s favor, I’m all in!
I’m not using Brad Pitt as a standard for being good looking. No, not at all…I specifically wrote “Brad Pitt” because I actually think Cookie’s face resembles Brad’s somewhat. Yes, I know it’s probably just me who thinks this.
I like Cookie, but he’s just average looking to me. I don’t think he’s ugly, but he is not really hot either. However, Cookie is talented so that makes him do-able.
Now Hot Aussie? He.Could.Get.It. Twice. LOL.
I don’t think he’d be as sexy without the HOT voice. I mean, the makeover and all is just icing on the cake, I think.
I like DA and DC. I think I will go have an argument with myself.
Lmao (as my teens, say) this just struck me funny - i dont know
over and out roger dodger
Whooo who - Ima not gettin into this discussion except to say I am not proud to say I have been called out by mj before and I am most certainly not a David A fan - bye bye for now
Oh, but how sweet that icing is, Gwen. How sweet that icing is. ;)
Am I the only one that wants a return of “smugface” DC? I am a rock girl, and my boys need to have smugness. I would love for him to come out with the Les Paul and say, “that’s right, Motherf*****.” *sigh*
Count me in as one who thinks he’s smoking hot. I don’t get the MJ thing, because his lips are flat and weird, like cold fish lips (even though I would buy his album). DC didn’t appear hot to me at first, but he oozes sex appeal when he performs. He had me at “All Right Now” and then “Hello” had me in a puddle of goo on the floor. He’s definitely got the “it” factor for me. I’m definitely smitten in a completely over the top way.
I’m actually thinking about going to the Chicago stop on the tour. I’m not sure I can bring myself to do it. It just seems like possibly the most uncool thing I could possibly do, yet the idea of seeing DC is really calling to me. Has anyone given in to this internal dilemma before and is it worth it? Jesus Christ, Cook, stop making me love you so much.
Hey, chachi,
The Idol tour is coming to my town this year for the first time, and I’m agonizing over going. I don’t particularly like the place where the concert will be, and the thought of the crowd turns me off, especially the crowd of kids. But I really would love to see DC live, just like you. Just don’t know about sitting through everyone else’s sets.
Oh well, it’s not till August, guess I don’t have to decide right now.
Rita
LOL. You are not alone. *Goes back into hiding.* (The chirping sound is really the rest of us who are mildly afraid to actually speak/type the words out loud. LOL)
Oh, I’m kind of wanting him back, too. Our little smugface Cookie hasn’t been on stage since we had “Day Tripper” (I’m not counting “Innocent”, since that was just a huge trainwreck and he didn’t appear smug to me, just that he knew he was seriously frakking up). Maybe we’ll get him back this week, since we have two performances and that hot Les Paul is bound to make a reappearance. :)
“Here at MJ’s, most of us do not generally do the hard core fan group thing. . . We’ve been down the fan war road before, and it left us all feeling dirty.”
SpenserJ, I had to sign up to say this, and while you may not see it, I would like you to know that you absolutely nailed my feelings regarding AI participation. I was beginning to think I was the only one who felt that way. Thank you.
I did the tour in Season 5, because I so wanted to see Taylor live, I was worried that maybe he’d never do a solo tour and I wouldn’t get the chance (an unfounded concern, but nonetheless). I’m glad I went though, because I had a great time and I discovered a lot of things I liked about people that I hadn’t necessarily loved on the show. It was a great time.
Last year, I went for 2 reasons: 1. I had the chance to attend with some of my MJ friends, which was AWESOME. and 2. A couple of my favorites were voted off so early that I knew that I would never get another chance to see them live. I don’t regret it at all.
I like several people this year. So, if the timing of my local tour stop works for me, I plan to go again.
I’m here! I saw it :) And, you’re welcome. Always happy to have newcomers here at MJ’s Scarlett - that’s what keeps it fresh. Post away and don’t be a stranger.
I think I’ve been talked into it. Thanks, SpenserJ!
