That couldn’t happen soon enough for me! lol.

Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s only the die-hards that follow their every move that get bored w/the questions, but ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s to be expected.

Like me!

It really is time to get my life back in order. It’s the “end of the month” and I’ve got real work to get together. I doubt my salesmen would take an “I’ve been obsessing over David Cook and too busy to get your commissions together” as a valid excuse for lack of pay checks….

I’m going to miss all these D2 fixes, but it’s time for the to get to work on the tour and leave us along for a bit.

I just wanted to clarify for those who donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t just take it as a jokeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ he did not go off-script, against the producers wishes. He said in an interview this week that he had no clue he wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t supposed to sing that bit, and that nobody told him not to sing it, and that in fact it wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t even his or his dadà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s idea to begin with!

LOL. And he didn’t eat the mac nuts from the mini-bar either.

Actually, I was poking fun at the entire concept that he “had gone off script” and “sung a bit of a song that hadn’t been approved”. I never believed that rumour for a minute. Nigel scripts those shows down to the last second. Nobody is sneaking any lyrics by him. Plus, it was confirmed by the people who attended the rehearsals that David had sung the same words. The entire rumour was absurd (along with the rumours that Jeff was everything from a Master Arranger to Master Psycholigist to Master Hacker to Master Publicist…you get the drift). I tend to mock the absurd.

It is interesting to hear confirmation that it wasn’t David or his Dad. Even more interesting, it was somebody from the show who suggested those lines. Very knollish. Where did TMZ get the leak? TMZ seems totally connected with the show. What was the endgame? Dun-Duh-Dun-Dun!

As to the spokesperson question, didn’t he say to the other contestants on LKL, I hope you’ll let me be your spokesperson (or something along those lines).

I forgot who it was that said (after the KC hoopla started) Cook needed PR, but I’m thinking it must’ve kicked in! In the headlines thread yesterday I posted a link to an Access Hollywood interview where they mentioned KC and he said “its complicated” and then held up his hand, wiggled his fingers and said, he isn’t married. LOL, good PR move since a lot was made of his date with KC by his fans. I’m a huge Cook fan but I’m totally okay with him having a personal life. I do.

As for their brotherly relationship, I’m loving it. But David Archuleta is so loveable that I can’t imagine anybody not wanting to protect and take care of him, and just totally love him!!!

What I get from this is that Archie is VERY young. He seems a little lost and at a loss for words. I get the sense he kind of looks up to Cook like a big brother, and Cook is comfortable in that role. It seems like they have a good relationship with eachother.

I totally agree….I find Cook to be the nicest guy and he does have a very dry sense of humor which often flies over people’s heads. I don’t find him cockey at all but genuine and trying to make light of the situation he’s in and he clearly doesn’t take himself that seriously. These poor guys are asked the same questions all the time. I’ve seen Cook protect Archie–particularly when Archie was asked about his father’s interference and/or influence and he constantly praises Archie. I’ve seen Cook defend Jason when a stupid emailer on Larry King inferred Jason was spacey because he used to smoke weed. Cook is definitely the spokesman of the group because he clearly knows what he’s doing and how to speak in public. I wasn’t a fan of Archie’s but he seems like a nice kid also and they have such a good relationship (brotherly) that it has made me warm up to Archie as he clearly looks up to Cook. Well, who wouldn’t look up to Cook?

Kirsten, you said (jokingly i believe): “I hear that Archie dude went off-script and not only sang lyrics that werenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t approved, but also bought some mac nuts from the hotel mini-bar so Nigel has to economize where he can”

I just wanted to clarify for those who don’t just take it as a joke… he did not go off-script, against the producers wishes. He said in an interview this week that he had no clue he wasn’t supposed to sing that bit, and that nobody told him not to sing it, and that in fact it wasn’t even his or his dad’s idea to begin with! So, I’m a bit sensitive when I do read these things, even as jokes. I don’t appreciate it when I hear in random radio clips the djs joking about his dad beating him too… this is pure conjecture on their part, for all we know, it was cook’s dad beating on david cook, rather than archie’s dad. but, i would never ever joke about it b/c there is no truth behind it.

Sorry MJ about putting that info in this thread. I didn’t know where to go with it as the headline thread isn’t up yet.

This interview was a little different than the others without ALL the standard questions they have been getting. I loved, loved, loved that he had them actually sing the phone book. It was “molten hot”! LOL! I think they should do this in concert.

What I get from this is that Archie is VERY young. He seems a little lost and at a loss for words. I get the sense he kind of looks up to Cook like a big brother, and Cook is comfortable in that role. It seems like they have a good relationship with eachother.

Oh, and did you catch the guy in the green and white striped shirt at the beginning of part one jumping around like a nut? ha! ha!

Anyway they had a good time at this one. What did Cook bend down to pick up after the silly boxing piece? The poor girls got tickets in their mouths (ott much?) and Cook bends down in the foreground to pick something up which he shares with Archey… was it bet money?

i didnt find anything arrogant or anyting else about what david cook said… he just needed new stuff for the trip and i’m sure those people at the gap love him … hes COOKIE

if you wanna get on someone for the underwear thing chris brown NEVER wears the same underwear twice . *was in a fan question thing ..a quirk of his*

ty mj for these vids

This is the first time posting so not sure how.

I found an interesting article from Canada mentioning his dating could hurt his career right now.

This was a good brief article. The message boards all over have talked about more than his music. And many fans not happy

Yeah…I agree with this. But notice in the newest of interviews, even when pushed, DC doesn’t talk about KC anymore. He’s gone back to being very cryptic, which is probably what he should have done in the first place, but he’s learning. He just seems so media savvy at times that it’s easy to forget that 6 months ago he was just some kid tending bar in the midwest whom nobody knew about or even cared about. What he said to the media re: KC is actually what he probably would have done in his old life, but now that he’s DC-the American Idol…things have to change. His PR person definitely set him straight and they couldn’t have put the kabosh on the KC talk soon enough.

Personally, I don’t care who he dates, but apparently lots of other fan girls do so…whatevs.

I imagine by now, they’re both sick and tired of doing interviews. I know I would be.
