David Cook

We’re down to the top 3 and we feel like things are getting really serious so today we just picked a silly article to help pass the time.  We can’t wait until tomorrow night!!!  In the mean time, we can all apperciate the fact that little boys in the Kansas City area are asking for a haircut like David Cook’s!

In fact, clients are starting to ask for the look by name.

Cook’s name.

“Two of them came in and said, ‘I want that David Cook look with the spikes and the little taper in the back,’ she said.”

David loves the Royals and so do we. The Royals love David and so do we. Everyone is talking about David Cook these days…even MLB.com.

Today is DAVID COOK DAY and we’re too busy celebrating to really update the site.  But when we read the DC said today is the “coolest day of his life,” we couldnt’ help but post it. Happy David Cook Day!!!!!

“In Kansas City, Mo., the crowds withstood wind and drizzle for a glimpse of the shaggy-haired and raggedy-voiced rocker Cook, a native of the suburb of Blue Springs. His hometown tour — during a day which Missouri and Kansas City officials declared ‘David Cook Day’ — started bright and early with TV appearances on the local Fox affiliate, followed by his late-morning appearance at the Power & Light District.

‘What are you guys doing here?’ Cook said, teasing the screaming crowd. ‘Guys, thank you, seriously. … I don’t know what else to say. This is the coolest day of my life.’”

Today’s a great day to be a David Cook fan! Our boy has made the top three and is getting ready to head home for a parade, concert, and baseball game. We couldn’t be more excited for DC and the DC Nation! We found this quote about DC’s talent and couldn’t agree more so we thought we’d post it for your reading pleasure.

“I decided this show’s just not built for daydreamers. To survive the Idol machine, you either need almost bulletproof talent (D.Cook), or the kind of ambition-fueled tunnel vision that omits any sense of self from the equation (Archie, Syesha).”

Tuesday Tuesday, our favorite day of the week!  As we wait with bated breath for what will undoubtedly be a DC-slaughter tonight on Idol, we bring you a funny little quip from New York Magazine:

“We’re actually excited that he (David) could pull out songs like “Love Will Tear Us Apart” and “The Weight” and smack the other three contestants around the stage with them. Mark it down: This is a David Cook week, and unless he accidentally strangles himself with the cord of his electric guitar, he finishes on top.”

~New York Magazine 

We thought this quote was appropriate for today since everyone in Kansas City is talking about the possibility of DC singing at the Royals game next Friday night.  

“Cook has been incredible and it’s hard to tell what the future will hold and what song choices will be made. One thing is absolutely for sure. Cook will be the best this week. There is no way anyone can outperform him in this category. It’s like giving a professional baseball player a bat on ‘baseball night’ and throwing three other fans in the mix.”

We felt like things were getting a little too serious around here so we thought we’d lighten the mood with this delightful quote…

“Jim Moran remembers the last time David Cook was up to bat on his American Legion baseball team.

‘There was an inside pitch, and he turned away, and it hit him in the back of the head,’ Moran recalled with a laugh. ‘Knocked him out right on home plate.’”

~The Blue Springs Examiner (A little hometown pride, ya’ll)

Friends, it is May 1st and David Cook has officially made the TOP 4!!!   To celebrate, we here at the DC Fan Team have a dance party every 4 minutes and tonight, we’re inviting all our friends over to play Pin the Tail on David, and to go bobbing for apples (with DC’s face on them, of course). Perhaps you should join us?  The latest round of blogs and news coverage on DC was so chock-full of good things to say that we’re simply beside ourselves. Keep checking back this week as we continue to bring you the good word! First on our list…

 “…at this point, it’s hard not to root for Cook to win because he infuses every song with heart…. his emotional compass keeps everything in check and makes it worth listening to.”

And now another comment about how brilliant David Cook is…

“David Cook. My favorite, he remains. And I think he was brilliant to choose a couple of lesser-known Neil Diamond songs, which he could present as modern-ish rockers without having to borrow something else from Chris Cornell. I suppose I agree with the judges that his second song was better than his first, but I liked them both. And I find that he’s the only remaining contestant who truly puts it on the line when he sings - pushes his voice, pushes his emotions. (David Archuleta can sound emotional, too, but it always feel robotic to me: calculated and a little bit too perfect.)” 

~ The Boston Globe

We couldn’t help ourselves.

“Nobody else but David C. can do Solitary Man, Cherry Cherry or Kentucky Woman. He’s a man among boys. And all he’s got to do is let his performance reflect that.”
