I’m hearing

That David Cook’s new single will be released at the end of this month–the beginning of October at the latest…

…and the unaired piece he did for the Stand Up To Cancer TV special will be posted on the Stand Up To Cancer website and made available on iTunes…

This is independent confirmation, peeps, apart from news reports and internet rumors….

Cook’s people are getting ready for the release. He’s got a new Facebook page (help David choose the name of his album…yeah right!), and you if you sign up for email and mobile alerts via his My Space page, you can be the first to find out the name of his new single! Heh!

Perfect timing, as “Time of My Life” the coronation single that wouldn’t quit, heads down the charts and off into the sunset to join that Magic Rainbow!

ETA: The Skechers ad has debuted. You’ll be able to find it in the latest issue of US Magazine with baby Dani Lynn on the cover… And on the Skechers website.

    “David Cook gave me his number….” Sounds good, huh? :lol_tb:

    The single info has me on pins and needles. It’s happening!! Gah!! :jittery_tb:

  • spritely

    itunes? I’m confused! Does that mean he sang a song that didn’t get on the show? David, come to mj’s and tell us what all this cool stuff means, k? Thx.

    Also–His album name should be, “WTF.” ‘Cause he’s WTFCook. :)

    And–I love it if his shoe ad has him holding an actual record, ’cause that’s what he calls his upcoming album–”my record.” Just an old-fashioned boy.

  • Jolene

    OK, between the news about the single, the Skechers campaign up and running, the new Facebook page, the SU2C bit, and the sweet messages fans left David here, I think I’ve had about as much good news as I can take in 24 hours span. Wow!!!
    So much good stuff! When it rains, it pours… Guess there won’t be a magic rainbow after this rain though… LOL

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    I saw his facebook thing last night. :) I am loving facebook so much more than myspace these days, so I was stoked that his peeps put up a fb page too. Yay!!

    And omgplease let your “independent info” about a single late September/early October be true. :) Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.

    I’m confident that it is. Hey, my little scoop about Cook not appearing in person on the SU2C special was on the money, wasn’t it? :).

    Shoot, chica, you had better info than I did, and I actually had spoken to the people organizing the show. =P

  • leome

    merci mme MJ!
    these are good news. Probably looking at Sept. 30th or Oct. 6th for single release, which just sounds fantastic. By then, The Magic Raibow has probably sold a bit more than 900,000, which is also shocking but good.

  • Jolene

    mj, do you think the late September/early October info you heard would match the September 23rd rumor spread on XM radio today? That seemed logical when I first heard it, but I don’t know if it qualifies as “late” September enough.

    You know what? Either way I’m stoked… To think that not a week ago people were still uncertain a pre-album single was even coming out at all…

  • http://myspace.com/pm68 Pam

    Love that Skechers ad! :biggrin_wp:

    You can also see the ad here on the Skechers website:

    http://www.skechers.com/info/as_seen_in_print

  • spanishfan

    Love that advert and all the wonderful news about David. TOML has sold 864,000 and I think we will see the Oprah effect next week taking it past 900,000 which together with his new single event will take TOML to platinum. I cannot wait to hear David ´s own tracks. I am so excited.

  • 123abc456

    I cannot figure out to SU2C link. They have a list of people and David is not on it am I missing something? Sketchers add is good the girl is perfect the way she is looking at him. I’m hoping that the news of the single is true, but I’m guessing that it is. Tour coming to an end and they don’t want him to cool down too much.

  • http://myspace.com/girlgeek mj

    I cannot figure out to SU2C link. They have a list of people and David is not on it am I missing something?

    It’s not posted on the website yet.

  • Jolene

    Ha, I love that Skechers ad! It’s cheese-tastic!

  • CathyMK

    I’m so excited about the single I’m nearly speechless (and that never happens)!

    Very nice photo for the Skechers ad. And, of course, he’s looking at actual vinyl records because that’s what all of the cool kids are into these days. Seriously, my son had me buy him vinyl copies of albums that he already has on CD for his birthday because the listening experience is supposed to be so superior. Ha Ha, wait til he’s listened to them a few times!

  • AInoob

    Sooooooo much Cookie news today, I’m all atwitter! It was clear in the last few days that something was in the works so I’m happy to hear that his single should be out within a month.

    I was hoping to see shots in the Sketchers ad from that Extra clip we had seen – maybe those will be for their next ad campaign. I love that he’s in a “record store” in this ad, lol.

  • john_socal

    you have the best damn sources mj! is the source’s name deep throat by any chance lol?

    Lets be honest though, I would be more shocked if the sources were NOT saying the single would be released shortly after the tour ends when he’s available to promote it on all the talk shows which just returned from summer vacation!

    Its going to be such a blast watching his “vibe” take the mostly unknowing world by storm. And the grammy goes to…DAVID COOK!

  • Trina

    OMG he’s gorgeous in that ad. Wow! Sure the ad itself is a little cheesy, but Skechers ads ARE cheesy. Did you ever see Carrie’s where she was sitting on a furry rug with puppies? LOL

    The XM rumor I put about as much stock in as I put the supposed Grandma board/release on the 15th rumor. All I saw was a post on Idolforums that ‘someone’ at XM said the 23rd. Too vague for my taste. I trust MJ.

  • Jolene

    OK, so here’s a question… “Recording Artist” and not “American Idol”. Was it the same for Carrie? I’m curious if this is something specific to DCook.
    And I bet we’ll hear a definitive release date and get a title for the single very soon. It seems like things moved from a slow crawl to a sprint… I don’t see them waiting too long to let more info slip.

  • jpfan

    Mmm. the shoe ad is extra cheesy with cheese on top. Fits the brand well though. He is a legit recording artist and if they added “american idol” to that ad the whole thing might just be “cheese overload”

  • Michelle

    Okay, I squeed extra loud when I saw the Skechers ad. Thanks for the scoops MJ!!

  • sarcasticgirl

    That ad is kinda hilarious. I think it’s the look on that girl’s face. Cookie looks great though. It does look like they flipped the shot, his hair’s usually parted the other way.

    So when are we getting a giant billboard of David in Time Square? (Or was it 33rd St?)

    All this single news has me so excited. With regard to the conflicting dates it might be that his song will be available to radio on the 23rd but not released to iTunes and/or have it’s add dates until late Sept/early Oct.

  • Trina

    Carrie’s didn’t say American Idol either. These are her ads

  • cheese

    OMG, I love the cheesiness of the Skechers ad. (I think the girl is wondering why he’s not wearing 5 pounds of shiny necklaces, his hair is parted on the “wrong” side, and he’s wearing weird shoes.) “Easy livin’” FTW!

    I’m still wiling to believe that radio stations might have the single on 9/23, even if its add date is 9/30 or 10/6, because, well, that’s what I want to believe.

  • spritely

    lol, cheese. And what you want to believe is what the world should deliver, by gum. I think the girl is looking at him like that because she’s thinking, “Damn, I went to all this trouble to look like Kim and he’s flirting with the camera!”

  • AInoob

    That girl reminded me slightly of Charlize Theron…but Cookie isn’t checking her out. Nuh uh, he’s playing it cool, lounging against the album racks, checking out the vinyls and cheesing it for the camera :wink_ee:

    I do think the picture is flipped, everything on him looks reversed. Aren’t those rubber bracelets he wears normally on his left wrist?

  • annoula

    So the facebook link goes to his actual profile, not a group (ok, now that I’ve reread above, that makes sense). I added him as a friend, will he (or his people :() confirm my request?

    While I have no problem with Sketchers-cheesiness, I’m really not feeling the ill-fitting jeans (watching project runway while I write this)…why are the back pockets so low? Don’t these Sketchers people know that there are certain parts that need to be emphasized?

    I think that his new album should be named that weird space-related name that he came up with during those Idol behind-the-scenes clips.

  • Mia

    Eta Carinae.

  • spritely

    I have a question for the shoe mavens in the crowd. Are Skechers good shoes? ‘Cause I actually do need sneakers and I feel strangely attracted to that brand. . .

  • Michelle

    I had a pair of their bikers (the ones Carrie was selling, lol) and *loved* them. They were comfy but I could still get away w/wearing them to work :)

  • spritely

    Thanks, Michelle. :)

  • RV65

    IN THIS RADIO INTERVIEW….THE EVER SO HUMBLE ARCHIE TALKS ABOUT COOK AND AI….HIS MODESTY IS SO ADMIRABLE!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn2TfOnHla0

  • Trina

    I just noticed on that Mozes page on the front under the Top Mobs he’s there and already at #4 under What’s Hot Now. That was quick!

    I’m looking at the Skechers ad and remembering his audition. Goodness did anyone anticipate this guy would end up looking like that guy up there? The power of the AI makeover machine is amusing!

  • NickDaddyo

    Skechers are great, comfortable shoes. I’ve worn out my last two pairs.

    And a David Cook single… FINALLY!

  • GEEK4VOCAB

    OH this is just so exciting and I love the ad.

    I just love the fact that He’s IN AN AD.

    Tried out for AI on a whim.

    And now he’s DAVID COOK: Recording Artist!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I will be a wreck until the single is out!!!

  • Jolene

    So the facebook link goes to his actual profile, not a group (ok, now that Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve reread above, that makes sense). I added him as a friend, will he (or his people :() confirm my request?

    Um, I think the link above is wrong… This is the new Facebook page. It’s not a personal profile, it’s a musician’s page where you sign on as fans, upload pics and such.
    So far, it’s alot more interesting than the MySpace page, that’s for sure!

  • s3rious

    Awesome! Can’t wait to hear his new single. :)

  • Layla

    All i can say about the single is yahfuckin’hoo!!!!!!!!

    A single from my boy. The only prob is I want to get it legally and here in Copenhagan you cannot download rom the Amerocan itunes store. We have our “own” itunes store but it sucks!

    Does anyone know if I will be able to legally download it from his facebook page? I think my daughter downloads that way?

  • s3rious

    ^That’s a great idea Layla, all fans of DC really should make an effort to download and purchase (emphasis on purchase) his new single legally. *okay* Here’s to DC’s success. *cheers*

  • Jolene

    I’m not sure about downloading through his facebook page, but I have every intention of getting the song legally. I’m sure there will be a gifting effort to help those of us who live abroad and can’t get the single on our own.
    I got TOML through someone kind who gifted it to me, and I’m sure David’s new signle will put people in a giving mood.

    I still don’t understand why Amazon.com’s mp3 downloads are restricted to the US. If they were to open that up for international purchase (which they have with non-downloadable music), they’d be making tons off people who can’t use iTunes and still want to purchase music legally.

  • Layla

    I agree Jolene,

    itunes would make a bundle. I would purchase his single for all of my friends and colleagues if I could through itunes…’cause Im sure it will be that good. I didn’t know that amazon.com was like that too. Wonder if it’s possible for me to purchase it for my sister and she send it to me. I buy Xmas presents for familly and friends through Amazon which is no prob. Hmmmmm

    maybe amazonuk will have the single.

    Jolene…how does this gifting thing work?

  • justic

    I’m.Freaking.out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    so much happening at once i’m so ecstatic!
    the last time i felt this excited about a single/record was 15 years ago.
    i’m also an international fan and i want to purchase DC’s Creations LEGALLY.
    I think DC’s team must find a solution for us fans abroad. we don’t have access to the U.S iTunes.
    like Jolene said, if only Amazon’s mp3 downloads was availble for us as well…

  • Jolene

    Joleneà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦how does this gifting thing work?

    I’m not savvy enough to know how it’s done with iTunes (although that’s how most people gift, so I’m sure it’s not that complicated), but through Amazon.com you get a regular mp3 file, and the girl who gifted me TOML simply sent it to me via e-mail. Very easy to do.

    I believe foreign versions of iTunes will carry the single, but my country doesn’t have one at all, so that leaves the kindness of fellow Cookies to rely on.
    It’s just amazing to me that hard copy CDs are still easier to purchase legally than downloads (if you live outside the US). You’d expect it to be the other way around.

  • elisad

    Make up a US iTunes account and buy a gift card (eBay, I suppose, not where I buy them though) and there you go, buy whatever you want. Or, make up an account and get someone to gift it to you.

    I believe it will be available worldwide, maybe other countries will have it earlier than America. Not a big chance but that’s what happened with Pink’s So What, so, keep your hope up. LOL.

  • AInoob

    Jolene/Layla, I know there was a thread on the D-C.O site offering to legally gift TOML to any international fans unable to purchase it. I’m sure they will do something similar for his single so keep an eye on the site for that.

    Does Rhapsody have the same problem as Amazon and iTunes re: international downloading?

    Also, elisad’s suggestion above was one I heard mentioned before as well. I definitely remember reading that to get a song gifted through iTunes, you’d need a US iTunes account.

    Looks like he’s going bowling…or something. I still like it though. Not a hard thing to do.

    Well, he looks adorable in the ad, but that’s nothing new, is it? He just gets better and better. Strange, though…….I kinda miss the scary boots. Go figure. ;)

  • Layla

    aren’t those jeans the baggy in the ass style, with the waist band way below the waist? Just askin’ as it’s a style that’s becoming popular here with the girls.

  • justic

    anyone here from NYC?
    i have a friend visiting New York for a few days and i want to send him huntting for some cookie crumbs at a skechers store.
    the skechers website is dead since yesterday and i need to know where can i find a skechers store in Manhattan. Anyone know???

  • AInoob

    justic, I’m in NYC. There are two Sketchers stores, one at 140 W 34th Street and another at 3 Times Square. Hope that helps!

  • justic

    AInoob thank you so so much for this!!!

  • AInoob

    You’re welcome! I’ve never been to any of them, maybe one day I’ll have to head that way to hunt for Cookie crumbs myself, lol.

  • Layla

    Jolene/Layla, I know there was a thread on the D-C.O site offering to legally gift TOML to any international fans unable to purchase it. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m sure they will do something similar for his single so keep an eye on the site for that.

    Thanks for the heads up Anoob…I really want to do my part in supporting him legally.

  • kathrynTX

    Oh my goodness, so much Cookness going on today! I haven’t been able to comment on everything yet. What, he’s advertising SHOES? OK. Whatever. I’ll buy some. Sign me up. A single soon? YAHFUCKINHOO ITA! I’ve just been patiently waiting for the single and album…it will all come out when it comes out and I’m buying everything I can when it does. So I can practice delayed gratification a bit longer. I’ve been waiting…a LOOOONG time…for someone like Cook to come along. The waiting is the hardest part. There, that’s about how long I’ve been waiting HAH. Shall check out the SU2C single also. Already had to create a facebook thingydoodle. Sheesh. What else do you want me to do, David? Go to Tulsa? Doin’ it. See you there, you easy livin’ RAWK STAH. :clap_tb: You’re insane.

  • Trina

    Apparently he said by the buses today the single will probably come out mid-October. :wallbash_tb: To go from late September to mid-October seems kind of drastic. I’m annoyed, but that actually seems more like typical RCA.

  • 123abc456

    Yea I read where he said mid October for the single and that he was auditioning for his band tomorrow in Tulsa. Of course this is second hand from a fan so who knows. :sad_wp:

  • cheese

    I already whined about the mid-October thing in the other thread, but so far we’ve heard a second-hand report that the date is 9/16 (from David’s grandma, lol, via some mythical “Grandma’s for Cook” site), XM’s report that it’s coming out on 9/23 (apparently heard by some IDF poster on XM 20 on 20), mj’s late September/early October at the latest, and now a secondhand mid-October date from David himself.

    Well, if he gets the Archie treatment with a radio premier a month before his actual release and add date, I guess we could still hear it within the next 2 weeks. I think all the new promotional stuff going on over the last couple of days suggests that we’ll get some kind of news sooner rather than later.

  • Trina

    Well the thing to keep in mind is what exactly will happen mid-October. Is that when the song will first be heard or is it or the adds date? Huge difference. Two weeks ago I heard Christina Aguilera’s new single was coming out 9/19 and yet last week it leaked and has been gaining airplay, but the adds date is still set for 9/19. With Daughtry It’s Not Over leaked the last week in October but didn’t go for adds until the first week in December. He said at the Bridgeport afterparty we would have info about the single within 2 weeks. So unless something changed at the last minute he may have been referring to just basic information like the title or actual release date.
