According to Variety, ABC’s decision for the early extension was due in part to the success of Jimmy Kimmel Live Game Night, a series of six half-hour specials running in conjunction with the NBA Finals in which only the crà ¨me de la crà ¨me of guests are featuredà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’ most recently, Barack Obama and David Cook.

The specials averaged roughly 3 million viewers, almost double that of his late-night audience.

That’s one crà ¨me de la crà ¨me Cookie.

And to address the issue of “no personality” the article in Entertainment Hotline and a viewers comment hit the nail on the head……..I’ve come to the conclusion that British men (Cowell and Nigel) don’t know how to identify when another man is sexy unless of coarse the Brit is gay then he would see the unbelievable sex appeal David Cook has and the best part he doesn’t even know the effect he has on women all over the world. The men don’t know but the little girls understand -love it!

I also love in this article when it states we are waiting to crown him the next Rock legend. She goes on to state that from the birth of rock, women have always been responsible for anoiting rockers to the status of legends.

It was great to hear that RCA is “letting him make the record he wants”.
DC is talented, and smart, and if he can make HIS record, using all the help and opportunities RCA can provide… WOW :clap_tb:

In fact, having your head on straight may be equally important to having talent in this business! You gotta be able to see things as they are and put it all in perspective.

This is the one year I really think everyone will get along on that tour bus.

The two Davids and Jason Castro are the three whose albums I can’t wait to download.

This is a perk for being a winner versus runner-up–more exposure.
David Cook has to “promote” his single and when his album comes out–he’ll do that too and then we’ll hear the same stuff again.

A lot of people don’t watch AI and just because David Cook fans try to catch almost everything about him, and it may be stale news to us, it is news to other people. Men might walk through and roll their eyes when their wives, girlfriends are deep into watching on Tuesday night, but they don’t sit down and watch the whole thing (unless KLC was on…legs…). Men do however watch sports and get themselves comfortable in their easy chair with a beer in one hand, a snack in the other…they are tuned in watching the right channel and lo and behold–they catch the end of Kimmel–and David Cook is on and they think “oh, that the rocker dude my wife has a crush on….” Lots of sports talk, baseball, basketball, chicks (Mandy Moore)–males bonding…. :drunk_tb:

The point of this was to get this message across:
1. Gee–you weren’t there to audition for Idol (for those who think Idol is cheesy as they parade all the weirdos through….interspersed with people who show potential)
2. Gee–though you didn’t intentionally want to audition, you landed up getting 11 singles in the top 100 and the only other “person” who has even done that was the BEATLES.–a RECORD. (YOU MUST BE GOOD)
3. Oh, by the way–Cook is going on tour (husband might surprise her and buy tickets, but that’s okay–he’s a rocker, a joc, so that’s cool–I wont’ be embarassed).
4. Oh, by the he put out a single…go download it.

LOL

Here is the link to the interview.

I love the “kidsday interview. He really is so natural with kids.

I could be wrong, but I could have sworn I read somewhere that Skittles (à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ Taste the Magic Rainbowà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ) is being managed by à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Simon Fuller, the same manager as Posh Spiceà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  per the quote. Heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a big enough star that Simon would take this one on himselfà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

I read that too. I can’t remember where, but I do believe it was a reliable source, becuse I remember people accepted it as fact.
Hopefuly someone knows where that info came from.

PS – This interview with David was posted on TWoP. I love DC with kids, so cute!

David Cook and Mandy Moore. What could be better? I hope someone sets this up.

I would love to see his reaction to this. He seemed stoked enough about the autographed picture. I think just a friendly meeting could be a possibility. He does manage to throw her name out there when he has a chance. :laugh_tb:
