The Rock Report - March 28, 2008

Posted in Uncategorized on March 28th, 2008

As we head into a sunny spring weekend, all is right with the world. David is the #1 download on iTunes, The Idol race has been re-called and Archie is no longer king, and The DC Fan Team is going out to celebrate!  Nothing makes us happier than to share the DC love with the world, so we leave you for the next few days with this:

David Cook’s quickly established himself as one of the most interesting contestants in this season of American Idol. A few week’s ago he wowed me with his bold take on Lionel Richie’s Hello. Now he’s done it again with a daring rendition of Billie Jean.

Many contestants would have struggled to remain relevant while singing 80s standards. But not David. His dramatic reinterpretations connect with his young fan base, and impress those of us old enough to remember the originals.

David Cook is single-handedly transforming American Idol from a karaoke contest to a credible musical showcase. And that can only be a good thing.

    Just wanted to add to the love and note that on the AI website they are selling t-shirts from the latest Ford Music Video featuring photos of all the top 10 and guess which shirt is the top seller?? Yeh that’s right. It’s David. Love him so much. And thanks to the DC team for continuing to enable obsessive stalkers, like myself. Thank you. Thank you.

    Just want to chime in as a HUGE HUGE David Cook fan. I’m so distracted that I find it hard to concentrate on my blogging… ;) Unfortunately, I don’t blog about television shows…. But yeah, I believe David Cook is the best I’ve ever seen in AI, and I’ve been an avid watcher of the show through all the 7 seasons and remember all the contestants quite well.

    Dear adorable team,

    I’ve been searching for this on your hilarious site, but haven’t seen it, so. . .

    Have you by any chance checked on Analog Heart at Amazon lately? Just on the impossible chance that you don’t know. . .It’s is the #1 pop-rock MP3, it’s the #3 rock MP3, it’s #3 of ALL the MP3’s, and David is #8 on the artist list.

    Jeez louise!!!!

    Oops, that should have been #5 of all MP3’s.

    I absolutely love David Cook… and not because he’s cute, sexy or any of the other things that I’m sure he is to Americas youth… But, because I believe he’s a throwback to REAL ROCKERS….By that I mean he will be played on the Classic Rock radio channels even tho hes not classic.. which, of course, he is….Gotta love the boy!!

    How do you guys know his ranking on iTunes? I thought they didn’t publish them because to quote Seacrest “it would affect the competition.”

    Just curious… David Cook is AWESOME!
