Comments on: American Idol Season 8 – TV Commercials – David Cook Edition! http://www.mjsbigblog.com/american-idol-season-8-tv-commercials-david-cook-edition.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: davidlove http://www.mjsbigblog.com/american-idol-season-8-tv-commercials-david-cook-edition.htm/comment-page-10/#comment-169107 davidlove Mon, 01 Dec 2008 12:45:53 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/american-idol-season-8-tv-commercials-david-cook-edition.htm#comment-169107 Interesting thread, re: Taylor analysis 2 years after his win. As a big fan of AI and Taylor, I tend to agree with the theory he made waves on Season 5 and lost the producer's respect. However, he definately had a genre on the show as well as after (old-school soul), but it happens to be a niche market and passe to many. Hope to see him do well in his niche, and continue to feel the joy he so obviously gleans from performing. AI commercial is great - I'm back in after a blah S6 and hooked on the Davids of S7! Looking forward to S8. Interesting thread, re: Taylor analysis 2 years after his win.

I know a couple of families who were fans of Bo and then Daughtry who were so disgusted after Daughtry went home relatively early that they quit watching AI altogether after that. Letting those people know that the rocker won this year and has had continued success might help bring some of those viewers back.

The whole results episodes are not on YT, but there are clips of David finding out he's safe (or the whole Archie sit-down thing in the case of Top 7) over there. I was too nervous at the time, too, so this was a cool way to look back and see his Results Show Wardrobe if nothing else. One bad thing is that David seems so worn down and less sparkly by the end, although you can see the makeover in action week by week and relive the beauty of "Always Be My Baby" week, which knocked me off my pins completely. THAT was a "moment" for the AI history books. But by rock week and Neil Diamond week, the poor thing seems exhausted and a little frazzled and much too serious. I think losing Michael Johns may've been really hard on his psyche! That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. I also think maybe he was wondering what the heck he was still doing there with Michael Johns and Carly and Brooke already departed (he seems to have liked them a lot) and maybe that ground him down a little, too. Now he's got Neal and Andy and the boiz to hang with, plus probably Mom and Dad and his brothers and Kimberly Caldwell at least some of the time, plus the new-album euphoria, so maybe he's not feeling quite so used up and worn out. Fingers crossed! But that is one thing I'm kind of surprised they included in the video -- the darker mood of the "one moment amid the madness to lie down" part of it.

I think A.I. was very smart to focus on David Cook's journey and a "rock star" theme putting them in sync with a hotter image. In general, I think there is nothing hotter than a rock star. Though I have a diverse interest in music, rock is just fun and if I buy tickets to a concert--it would be a rock concert and the other stuff, that's what I an iPod for. TV ratings and viewership (A.I.) was not what it used to be and has declined year after year. David Cook gave that show a shot in the arm. I only watched A.I. this season at first because there wasn't anything on but repeats due to the writers' strike. David Cook hooked me, he stood out and that was the only reason I continued to watch A.I. at all. If he had been eliminated, I would have not stuck with it as I felt that though there were many good contestants, they were pretty much the same old stuff.

I've never watched the results too much on YT, but do enjoy the performances for sure. I only got to watch three, but wanted to watch more...instead had other plans. Oh well, maybe I'll watch a few more tonight. Hee hee, I was tempted to do the same. I’ve never watched the results too much on YT, but do enjoy the performances for sure.
