		<description>Cook will def get major promo for the single. It&#039;ll get  more serious roll out probably with a TV premiere on an NFL football game, major TV show,etc.  I doubt they&#039;ll just release it quietly and pray for the best. I think Cook&#039;s fans will be just as excited as Archie&#039;s when it is released so they&#039;ll be plenty of &quot;OMG, it&#039;s coming&quot; to go around.</description>

		<description>I like what Cookie has to say right &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/features/5955396.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here:&lt;/a&gt;

&quot;&lt;strong&gt;David Archuleta (Crush) and Kristy Lee Cook (15 Minutes of Shame) are already on the radio with slick new singles. Does that add any pressure for you to succeed?
&lt;/strong&gt;

Look, you only get one shot to come out with a great first record. I can&#039;t speak for Archie or Kristy, but maybe they just work faster than I do. I&#039;ve spent a lot of time in the writing process and really trying to make sure that these songs are me. Whenever my record comes out, as long as it&#039;s good, I&#039;m happy. And hopefully, everybody else will be.
&lt;strong&gt;
How&#039;s the sound shaping up so far?&lt;/strong&gt;

It&#039;s a rock record, but I also feel like it&#039;s not going to be a standard rock record. There are some twists and turns on it. I kind of forced myself to be more open as a songwriter than I think I ever had been before. These songs might be of a vague nature, lyrically, but they&#039;ll also be pretty firm snapshots of my life Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬&#039;  just overall. The last year of my life been&#039;s great, but I think to discredit the last 24 would be a waste.&quot;</description>

		<description>I actually don&#039;t think Cook will top Archie in terms of first week chart placement or even equal him. Because I don&#039;t think Cook will have the same type of &quot;ohmigosh, ashley it&#039;s coming!&quot; promotion with a prescheduled, featured in-person debut on one of the country&#039;s largest radio stations. I think Cook&#039;s single will just &quot;appear&quot; on the radio, and, hopefully, it will gradually build steam.</description>

		<description>&quot;UmÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦I hate to say thisÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦but thatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s kind of cute (I must go shoot myself now). It will probably be a kick for Archie to read Fred talking about him. I love FredÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s columns, but heÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s never going to write about me (unless he does one on lunatics on the internet who post SS numbersÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦LOLÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦not even then)&quot;

But truly Kirsten, Im a fan of your knowledge when it comes to these kinds of &quot;statistics&quot; if you can call it that............you must have done well in school with numbers?......I didnt......lol</description>

		<description>seattle, check out some of the previous linked stories on the right of that page - Obama choosing Cook as his running mate, Archuleta terrorist plot. MJ do you know anything about this writer? Seems to be a closet AI fan, or at least a Cook/Archie fan.</description>

		<description>Has anyone posted this &quot;story&quot; yet?  About the suspicious destruction of the set for the Crush video shoot?  Pretty amusing spoof.  Cookie has a good sense of humor, so I think he&#039;d take it in the spirit it was (surely) intended.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Wait, I donÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t get the last partÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦didnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t Clay sing Solitaire on the show? I was pretty sure he did.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Clay did sing Solitaire on the show, for Neil Sedaka week.

Also, while Carrie did not sing &quot;I&#039;ll Stand By You&quot; as a competitor, her version was on the show for Idol Gives Back week, and I love Carrie to death, but I think the fact that her version of the song was on the show during IGB gave that song a boost in purchases.

So, really, David A. and Kelly are the only idols to have songs debut in the top 10 without any exposure on the show. That&#039;s a great accomplishment for David A.! Congrats to him!</description>

		<description>Congratulations to Archie!  Nothing is a given of course, but I really believe that the Davids will be the most successful AI Top 2 tandem to date.  We&#039;ll see what happens.  Both guys are off to a great start.  

With this impressive debut on the Billboard Hot 100, more major markets should be adding &lt;em&gt;Crush&lt;/em&gt; to their playlists in the next couple of weeks so airplay should pick up considerably.</description>

		<description>I could&#039;ve sworn that I got a message from Cook telling me to ask Archie to be my friend on myspace; I did as I was told. And I think he told me to support Archie&#039;s single too; so, I did as I was told and bought it! After all, I bought ALL of Cook&#039;s AI music and videos. I could buy one or two Archie items...if David says they&#039;re goodies. Hah! Oh congratulations, David Archuleta! It&#039;s all so very exciting for him and I hope he has a great music career. I&#039;ll give a test listen to anything he does, I&#039;m sure. (I already KNOW I&#039;m BUYING anything Mr Cook offers to share!)

HOORAY ARCHIE! ETD the drunken smileys since Archie is not of drinking age... :-)</description>
