David Cook – New Single – “Light On”

One one hand, YAY!!!!!

On the other hand…. oh boy, now the real fanbase craziness starts. LOL.

I my just take a little vacay from all other sites but this one until, say, mid January. :innocent1_tb:

OMG OMG OMG! That’s all.

Very hopeful that this is true. One guess that folks made on DCO was that the single will drop on radio next week, but not be for sale until October. So that both MJ’s report/the Ford M&G and the mid-October reports could turn out to be true.

OMG OMG!! SQUEEE!!!!!! OMG! The title made me just start picturing a really hot video omg!

LOL, Trina, you took the squee right outta my mouth.

Wheeeeeeeeeeee! And also? Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Haven’t been here in almost two weeks (silly me thought I could get away and actully get some work done) but this news calls for a celebratory post!

So very very happy to hear the single news. I’m guessing it’ll premiere on Ryan’s show on Tuesday (mixing and matching some rumors), but we’ll just have to wait and see…

Oh, and acoustic Hello on Ford Day sounded amazing even with the crappy cellcast audio. Hopefully someone captured that on video.

I shoe-horned in an ETA:

ETA: Remember this item? The Kansas City Fox reported that David Cook would be appearing in Kansas City to promote his album in November. According to a source, there was a screw-up on the official DC site that made it look like he was making live appearances to promote the album. It was a technical glitch à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’ the dates shown, which were plotted on a map, were actually the Idol tour datesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

There was a rumor going around that David will be on Ryan’s show on Tuesday, 9/23 – maybe it will premiere then?

Well, now that the air of mystery has been lifted, I guess something will show up on David’s site within the next 72 hours. (I’m hoping he canceled for the Emmy party because he’ll be busy shooting a video or something).

Just waiting on some more specific information from my source on the single.

*whistles*

Yeah, that map was removed from his site’s Events page. I figured that was a mixup.

MJ, you tease!!!!

From David’s official site:

“You guys are going to be the first to know the name of the first single AND what the album cover is going to look like. Make sure to sign up to get in on that if youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re interested in being the first to know.”

Ooops :blink_tb:

Ooops

LOL! Well, the fans are the first to know. I guess no matter how it got out, most of us would’ve heard it on the fanboards first.
What a day this must be for Desi, though, she truly is the first fan to hear the news…

So much for David Cookà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s declaration by the buses that the single would drop mid-October.

Well, the way I see it, it all depends… The sigle might still drop mid October, if “drop” means go on sale on iTunes, or for adds on radio. I’m just glad we’ll get to hear it way sooner.

I love the title- very much like the man himself. Part of his cohesive album plan. So excited to hear the next single.

First video of Crush Live… poor quality

Sorry if Iwasn ´t suppose to post this here

I just sqee’d so loud my daughter came running in as excited as me. She pretends not to care too much for him but she plays AH a LOT!

Oh Goody Goody Goody.

I am so excited!!!! I’m a-grinnin’ from ear to ear.

Thanks for the fabulous news! I am far too mature and worldly (ha) to be this excited!

Do we have any film of the Ford concert yet?

Do we have any film of the Ford concert yet?

If anybody finds video, please post it in the headlines thread… I’ll pull it into a separate thread.

I am reserving judgement on the title until I hear what he does with it. “Leave the light on” will always remind me of Tom Bodett.

Sorry wrong post…

Since it’s *Talk Like a Pirate Day* and DC loves to well, talk like a pirate, here is my response to the new single!

Ahoy, can’t wait for the sin’le, gar!

Anyone else wanting to leave a pirate message here is a translation link:

OH YAY!

As an Archie fan, I can’t wait to support Cook! I’m like cookie dough getting ready to be baked into a Cookie fan!

I’m so excited

MJ, thanks for posting all the goodies so fast!

Just a warning folks, the cellcast links that are currently up are . . . oooh bad quality. Seriously, I could only listen for a few notes and then my ears bled. Though we all appreciate the fans who were attempting to generously share.

So far this year, mp3s or video have eventually shown up for all of Cook’ s live performances, so if you can bear to wait . . . I would.

I want the single rumor to be true. Trying to wait patiently for confirmation.

Wanders over to lamp. Light off. Light on! Light off. Light on!

So, David Cook told a fan this news, right? Why would he blow his own marketing plan? He had to know that news would spread everywhere in like, a minute.

I’ll link to cellcasts but I refuse to listen to them…or host them. To me the crappy quality make it not worth the time or investment.

I did a few during Season 5 and the quality was so bad, it sounded like some sort of alien transmission, rather than a concert. LOL. Kirsten can attest to that…

OMG, I come home from work to this!? I’m way to old to squee, but SQUEEE. My heart just about skipped a beat when I saw the headline, and my husband was a little worried about my little shriek. But, is this actually official – or just a fan report? I’m still sooo excited. I like the name. A little mysterious…

Even though we knew it was coming, this has just completely made my day

YAY, SINGLE!!!! or I guess, YARRRR! SIN’LE!!!

also, lol, i had a feeling the “text to be the first to know!” plan would go the way of the VP candidate announcements. OOooops… but that DC was the one to leak the info, that was unexpected Oh well, thanks for the scoop, DC!

(I still want my text message!)

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll link to cellcasts but I refuse to listen to themà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦or host them.

Now, now, MJ. We know that wasn’t always true. Ah, how well I remember the MJ cellcert from a certain after-concert. The sound quality had never been worse. It sounded like aliens had invaded and were torturing people and animals and vacuum cleaners and fax machines. IT was awful and painful to listen to. But, back then, we combined posting with chatting and we had a fun time. We pretended we could really here thing and reported all sorts of psychotic things (from Bucky singing Whitney’s “Greatest Love of All” to Elliott playing the bagpipes. Xenu himself showed up and we wrote Scientologis Christmas Carols). I think we even managed to get some of our stuff reported on other sites.

Wait did you change your post? Ah well, I had to much reminiscing to delete what I wrote.

Technically, cellcerts are insane. Cell Phone CODEC is not designed to transmit music. It’s optimized for voice, so you start off behind the 8-ball (lots get lost in the compression).

So, David Cook told a fan this news, right? Why would he blow his own marketing plan? He had to know that news would spread everywhere in like, a minute.

Is he new? LOL. Yes, he should have known this would spread like wild fire. Possibly somebody asked him the name of his single and he heard something different and responded “Right On!”

:clap_tb: :jittery_tb: :thumbup_tb:

I don’t think so, not after you wrote your post anyway…

That particular cell cast was hilarious and fun, but I don’t think we heard one note of recognizable music. Those cellcerts were a lot of work for little return, at least musically. I pretty much made a decision after the S5 tour to leave the cellcasts to the fan boards… .

I think we even managed to get some of our stuff reported on other sites.

I remember some people getting pissed off because we were goofing around so much. lol.

EEEEEEEEEEEE! Hope so hope so hope so! I’ve been talking all week to people who are fans but not quite as obsessed as I am, updating them…so I’ve been watching watching reading reading. Guh I just cannot WAIT for more music, for new music, from Cook! It will all come out when it comes out, I know, but the sooner the better. I’m trying to be patient but I get SO EXCITED! Light On. Hmmmmmmmmmm. OK I have to calm down now. I swear, I’m not reading anything else except his website. Sheesh. I’m gonna have a heart attack here.

The sound quality had never been worse. It sounded like aliens had invaded and were torturing people and animals and vacuum cleaners and fax machines.

Now that made me LOL very loudly. Sounds like better fun than anything that might actually have been going on.

I wonder how rock the new single will be… If they’ll go for something softer to ease the AI fans into the new phase, or go the direct opposite to show David’s solo career will be quite different than AI and TOML.

Ooops

Well, if Obama couldn’t do it, I don’t guess we can expect DC’s luck to be much better.

ETA: I should’ve kept reading. Kirsten’s theory sounds eerily plausible.

In Rolling Stone’s Fall Music Guide it mentions he recorded a previously unreleased Chris Cornell song, so is it a coincidence CC recorded a song called Light On?

Brian Howe is the writer if this is the same song. Brian has worked with Daughtry so it makes sense.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Howes

I love lots of stuff he’s worked on so I’m very anxious to hear this.

How do you know Brian Howe is the writer? There is a connection there to Brian, but It doesn’t say he’s the writer.

I listened to a few cellcasts this season and it did sound like it was being transmitted from outerspace with the odd sound coming now and then and all scratchy sounding. They were for the most part pretty bad and not worth the time listening to them.
