The Top 10 take email questions. The segment was pre-taped. Larry asked Michael why he was in Vegas and he wouldn’t answer. I’m assuming 19 told him not to mention any extra-curricular activities. David was in Vegas over the weekend to perform in a show with David Foster.
More Tour Spoilers:
- Each Idol will perform in boot order, performing 3 songs each, Except for Archie who gets 4 songs and Cook who gets 5.
- There will be a group number at the end of the first half with finalists 10-6. The Top 5 also perform a group number.
- There will be duets between Idols. This sounds a lot like the Season 5 setup.
The girls are a little bitter-cakes over the boys popularity! Hm. Lots of the same dumb questions were asked. Jason Castro has gotta be sick of answering questions about his dreds and the “vote vote” controversy.
Parts 1, 2 and 3 after the JUMP…

Good that everybody had a chance to speak and no one made career damaging statements, did they??
MJ was very funny, LOL more than once and loved the Hernandez comment because it ws bang on.
Just not so sure that it is all kisses and hugs as they let on but then again they admitted they were more like family than friends.
Jason’s commnet about doing the duet with Brooke was priceless, and totally unexpected.
Just playing devil’s advocate here, because I seriously don’t care who he dates, as long as he’s happy… And I agree that it is none of the fans business.
But Cook walked into this one a bit. He did ask her out publicly, on camera… If he didn’t want it to be publicized, he should have asked her out privately…
*shrug*
I really am all for the celebs to keep what they want private, and I get irritate when interviewers push the limits… But in this case… Cookie had it coming because of the way he asked Kim out…
Eh, he asked her out on cable TV… he kind of threw privacy out the window.
Is there a part 4?
Oh come on people. I seriously doubt Cook would ever put Jason down or be mean to him. No way. Like siblings, I think they have their inside jokes.
Next thread has parts 4-7.
Bouffe,
You’re right about him asking her out in public, so it is all fair game. Actually, it’s all fair game once you enter the public eye at all. Asking somebody about their love life isn’t really a big deal, imo.
Also, about the comment:

I wondered why Cook said he would like to duet with anyone but Jason. Was that an inside joke? If so, then please, Cookie, share it with his fans. Otherwise, it comes off as a slam.”
I always had the feeling that David Cook didn’t like Jason Castro a whole lot. My gut tells me DC thinks JC is immature and he likes to kick him around a bit, b/c DC thinks he’s all that, compared to JC. Just my opinion. I’m not surprised.
I am not mystified by what Cook said, he is a goof, Jason is a goof and MJ is a goof. The three of them have all been roommates and I for one (and I am sooo important, NOT) just saw them goofing around with each other. Cook has come to Jasons defense over and over, I dont see him knocking him down now. He probably said that because they ARE going to duet. The comment didnt make me start looking for some underlying darkness?
I totally believe that Cook thinks Jason is inexperienced and a little immature because there is no doubt about it, Jason is just that compared to Cook , but not like him, no way have I felt that???. I believe Cook can see Jasons talent and has said so and even if he doesnt think Jason is the best, I dont see how anyone can not like the guy. I cant wait to see what some more life experience and lessons do to hone that talent.
Agreed. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Loved how fun Michael Johns, David Cook and Jason Castro are together!!!!!
They are going to have a blast this summer with Chikeze and little David.
Michael is hilarious.
Wonder when the last time Brooke White had any fun. Man she is a
big bore. I bet Carly wishes she could bunk in the boys bus.
WTG David Cook and Kimberly..Man he was really red. His fans are stage II
of their meltdown as we speak.
They actually think they will marry him. Poor kids.
I think that’s an inside joke between Cook and Jason… in the earlier interviews on Larry King Cook had said something about not letting Jason pick they key that they all sang in. Jason has a large range vocally, so I’m thinking Jason probably always picks a key that Cook can’t sing in or something like that. They all seem to get along fine.
Cook was just joking around with Jason.
That so was meant as a joke. I see great affection for Jason from Cookie. They are just having fun with each other. I’ve never heard any of them put down another. Pretty good group that seem to get along well.
Poor Carly - she had to live by herself for a long time? They couldn’t have made room in the other apartment? Sad…
I definitely think DC’s comment about not dueting with Jason was an inside joke — it seemed like everyone, including Jason, was in stitches about it.
Not sure about the DC dating Kim Caldwell thing - he says they haven’t gone out yet, but TMZ has a video of them after their date - so who knows.
I personally don’t want DC for anyone but myself, because I am a hot word nerd that is totally his type, and Kim Caldwell, and heck, probably even Mandy Moore, could not give him the intellectual stlmulation that I could. hahahahahaha
Oh well, a girl can dream, can’t she? (Especially if she’s not single herself!)
Mrs Castro
I really don’t see cook putting down jason. did you watch friday when cook was talking about how talented he thinks jason is. it is easy to see that they are friends.
Ahhhh…Kim’s a nice girl. Way to go, DC! And, great to know it’ll be a “long, drawn out process”. He’s not a playah…much.
This seems like a really great group. Cookie talked a lot, but I can only imagine the atmosphere if MJ would have physically been there. He’s looney. LOL
Syesha did want to hint at a rumor about a couple on the show. The only one I heard of was DC and KLC. That was a huge rumor that was immediately obliterated when she revealed her engagement. So….
All in all, I love their chemistry. The tour should be great.
Thanks for the videos, MJ! :)
Not a first time that DC putting Jason down. Last week: “Castro, don’t pick a key.” WTF is that? No matter how funny is your inside joke, this is national TV and there are tons of Jason fans who’d rather listen to Jason than you duet with anybody.
Love seeing DC explain once and once again how undeserving he is for the title after Archie knocked him down the previous night.
DC did talk a lot, but I noticed that he would stop when someone else started talking (coherently for once), because he seems to be a pretty nice guy. I think he’s just chatty. I married someone very chatty, so I can spot the chatterboxes from a mile away.
Also, I’m pretty sure that JC and DC are pretty good friends and DC stuck up for him like three times, but it seemed obvious to me that A) It was an inside joke and B) that people were going to be upset about it. A slip in your usual very smart moves, Cook.
Since you’ve now admitted to looking on the internets, if you’re trolling this blog, DC, I have a few things to say:
A) I love you and need record news ASAP, or my head will explode. Next time you’re asked a lame question that you’ve answered three hundred times already, can you say, “Thanks for asking about the record, Regis. I am planning on signing with XXX, and I would like to include a few of my previous songs, as well as work on collaborations with XX, XXX, and XXXX” I would be most grateful.
B) You aren’t going to please everyone, but let’s try not to FEED the detractors, at least, k? Not a single episode of verbal diarrhea is acceptable. NO PRESSURE, or anything.
C) Since we’re being real here, please never, ever wear that scarf in your pocket again. The elf boots from the finale can also be buried in shallow grave. THANKS.
ETA: Deleted because I should listen again before I comment, but I’m too lazy to dig right now.
Cook does try to elaborate on the comment he made about not doing a duet with Jason, but, I couldn’t make out everything he said. It sounded something like, I can’t sing the kind of songs you do. If someone else can make it out, please post. The others all started talking, which drowned him out.
And, so what if Cook wants to date Kim C? He’s quite capable of making his own decisions, and, it isn’t like they’re going to get married. The fact that he asked her out on cable tv, shows me he wants to stop some of the crazed women out there asking HIM out. Remember the call from the woman in PA? Regardless of being only 25, I still think a guy likes to do the asking. JMO, of course.
Lands, I hope none of them read VTFW. That would send them all into cardiac arrest. LOL
OK, kiddos, I know I’m adding fuel to the fantasy fire (and what are TV celebs but fantasy figures anyway?) . But for all of you who worry about the Kimberly Cadwell crush (and I think it’s a crush, from a guy who hasn’t had time for a date in a year, and is thrilled to be around starlets like many a red-blooded American boy), here’s a few interesting tidbits from an interview in March 2008 with Caldwell by a blogger for realityshack.com:
“Kimberly Caldwell is one of the early successes of American Idol, yet her success is measured a little differently. She doesn’t have a number one record out there, but she does have a successful television career, being seen
on more than a few shows each week, such as Idol Tonight and Idol Wrap. on camera……
I asked if she really would do American Idol again, given the chance. She told me emphatically that she would do it all again 100%. She kind of wishes there were an Idol All-Stars, and I agreed that would be great. Who among us fans of the show wouldn’t love that? She’d like to do it with her buddy Justin Guarini, as she’d like to kick his ass, competitively speaking, at least. She wouldn’t want to go against Chris Daughtry, but if he ever needs a date again, she’d like him to be her new boyfriend. Kim is so forthright, I’m thinking she wouldn’t have much of a problem convincing him.
I noted that Kim seems to pick her favorite guys each season, referring to them as her newest boyfriend, future husband, etc., and she told me it’s so funny to others that she does that, but for her, these guys on American Idol are her coworkers. And while the rest of us choose guys we’d like to date from our own circle of coworkers, that’s really all she’s doing. I asked if she’d ever dated any of them, and she replied she could name off at least ten names, but pressed, she refused.”
Hmmm… she’s dated 10 past Idol contestants? This doesn’t sound like the future Mrs. David Cook to me…
Cook stood up and defended Castro at least two times during the hour: once about the “Don’t vote, vote” thing, and again when Larry asked about weed. If Cook didn’t like Castro, he wouldn’t have done that. To me, the part where he says he’d do a duet with everyone but Castro was just some joking around between friend.
There were rumors about Daughtry cheating during season 5. So, maybe she is just a convenient date when someone needs one. Sort of an AI escort service? EWWW, that just didn’t sound right, even to me.
I was thinking of times, when I am with my friends, we have one or two friends who so bashful and cute and when you tease them a little you get a great and fun reaction. They are so endearing and you do it out of love for them, you could just squeeze them they are so adorable. That is what I see with the teasing of Jason. In one interview with them all right after the show, MJ has the mike and the interviewer says to MJ, hand the mike to one of the girls so MJ hands it to Jason. Jason takes it good naturedly (spelling?) and then Amanda says she is selling Jasons dreads on ebay, she gets scissors and pretends to cut his hair, they all tease him so much he is about to jump off the couch. So, Carly hugs him and they all stop. That is ALL I see as far as the Cook duet statement. David C gets more awesome with all the interviews and I just love them all together like that
I really, really wish Cook had not asked her out on camera because now it keeps coming up and every thread degenerates and turns to crap. It’s total hell trying to wade through all this Cook/Kim stuff.
at first i thought he asked her out as a joke, then i saw the tmz thing and was shocked. to me kimberly c is the season 2 contestant that had a threesome with corey clark (yuck yuck yuck) and treynce. simon mentions it in his book (which i bought on sale) but i don’t think by name. so i hope cook knows what he is getting into. lol
and wow i totally didn’t think dc was putting jc down. he was just teasing. wow.
Here’s a clip of MJ singing, “St. Elmo’s Fire,” from Las Vegas Friday night:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G-JB9h5Tbk
I don’t quite know how anyone would think Cook was serious about not wanting to duet with Jason. I guess if Cook were serious then that would mean that no one else likes Jason either because you would have thought one of them would step up to defend Jason. Instead, they were all laughing. Somehow when people laugh, I can’t help but think someone told a joke.
As for Cook asking Kim out on television, I guess that will probably just be a lesson learned. He’s not exactly experienced at being famous. Personally, I loved it. How often do you ever get to see that with any celebrity? And Kim’s reaction was priceless. A genuine moment.
Someone mentioned Kristy Lee Cook and David Cook liking each other. I think that is true. Even though she’s engaged now, I think there’s been an attraction between them. On LK last night I noticed that when KLC started answering a question, both Davids turned to look at her. DA turned his head back toward LK after a couple of seconds, but DC had a long, lingering look at her. I played it back in slow motion several times and he definitely looked at her longer than necessary. I’ve also noticed that in a lot of the group pictures they are standing beside each other. In one picture her hand was on DC’s arm. Just some observations. Engagements have been broken before.
Didn’t Kim Caldwell date J.D. Adams from Season 2 for a while? I seem to remember them going out together during their season.
I enjoyed watching the banter on both shows, the banter between all the contestants made me chuckle on several occasions. An interesting observation my husband made is that they talked over each other quite a lot but when David Cook spoke, everyone listened! They all interview pretty well, but he is exceptional … even when asked personal questions that you know he’d rather not touch he still provides a tactful and eloquent response (I’m thinking both the question about Adam on Friday and the question about Kimberly yesterday).
I don’t usually weigh in on the personal lives of celebs or psuedo-celebs as I think they should be afforded the same privacy as anyone else, but as it’s been potent in this thread I’ll throw up a modicom of perpsective: DC said that KC had been so complementary toward him that he asked her to dinner. I think we all have friends who ask us out to dinner when we do something nice for them so I wouldn’t read a whole lot into that by itself. TMZ, that ever reliable tabloid, has a video of them leaving a restaurant with two other people - ok, still doesn’t prove anything, even with DC’s response to the “will we be seeing you together again” question - what is he supposed to say, he’s hardly the kind of guy who’s going to say “well, no” - he keeps it private so he gives the only response he can. Same with his reponse on Larry King, he was polite and tactful without giving much away - his “drawn-out process” remark could very well have been a dig at the tabloid press who will keep this going (and us bloggers who will keep dissecting), or, as it isn’t a phrase usually associated with happy relationships, perhaps he meant if it takes long enough to set up the dinner he won’t have to go. Point is, the tabloids, and as a result we the fans, could be reading way too much into a simple dinner request (see this drawn out dissection as an example). Enjoying his music, that’s all he wants from his fans, not an obsession with his private life.
Jason and DC. My impression is they are good friends. DC was absolutely laughing out loud when JC was doing an impression of DC’s camera face. DC loved it. David has come to JC’s defense so many times on various things. They must have an inside joke on singing together. DC said in one of the interviews don’t let JC pick the key for the song at the end an interview. I think they have a lot of respect for each other. JC was rooting for DC to win on one interview and on another he said there was no surprise he won.
I love them both!!!
Reminder:
Please don’t become defensive when your favorite is criticized. Respect your fellow posters opinions — Please don’t assume your fellow posters motivations.
Good detective work dfc.
The role of KLC in this evolving soap opera continues to be a mystery, and methinks there is a lot stronger character at play here that what we see on the surface.
Never noticed anything untoward between the 2 Cooks, but I wasn’t looking for anything. I suppose until there is a ring on the finger, anyone is fair game, non? We will see what happens on tour, I believe Haley was engaged last year at this time, and that fell apart by the end of the tour.
