Glee Spoilers! David Cook’s “Come Back To Me” Rumored Song Choice

^ We’ll find out for sure when season 2 airs , but yay if it is true. :)

Well it fits very well into the storyline of Will and Emma. Also Ryan said the first few episodes are going to be as big as the Madonna one (which is geting a round 3), which mean there will probably at least 3-4 songs added to that list (if true)

I don’t think the original singers get that much of a bump from Glee, do they? I never really see anything that significant on Itunes, but the song sung by the cast will probably go top 10-20.

I noticed in the last few weeks also that they don’t hold their positions as long as they used to either. They used to be able to hold top 10 for almost a whole week, but they are already out of the top 20 this week.

I think people are starting to figure out that no matter how much you love how they sing it on the show, these songs just do NOT have what it takes to stay on regular rotation on an ipod. I figured it out after the first time I downloaded.

It would still be great exposure for Cook – and I say that as a CBTM loather and as someone who would never watch Glee :lol

So, hopefully it will prove to be true.

I hope for David it’s true, what great recognition for him. The only thing that would be better is for him to be on the show and sing “Come Back To Me” himself.

Sweet! I hope it happens.

The Glee spoilers are back up on this Youtube (don’t know how long it will stay there…)

I’m actually super exited about Tubthumping, that was our ultimate “Let’s go to a bar to get shitfaced”-song when I was young, like I gotta Feeling is/was “the leaving song” of a more current time.

Studio57, I agree with a number of your points, but Cook has a remarkable ability to turn any kind of exposure into at least a modest bump. It’s like “Oh David Cook, I forgot about him, I love him, better check out his album”. IDK. Maybe not. We’ll see.

That’s great if the rumor is true. Having your music played on a much watched TV show is both an honor and great promotion.

I’ve not bought any of the Glee cast songs, but I have checked out the originals. I actually don’t think the Glee renditions are that great.

LOL as usual on Twitter there have to be the select group of fans who are bitching because no one should ever, ever touch a David Cook song *rolls eyes* This is the LAST thing I think fans should be griping about if its true.

For those familiar with Glee does it seem feasible that the first 5 episodes are written already?

LOL as usual on Twitter there have to be the select group of fans who are bitching because no one should ever, ever touch a David Cook song *rolls eyes* This is the LAST thing I think fans should be griping about if its true.

The peeps bitching are TOTALLY missing the bigger picture here. At this point, artists are thrilled when Glee to covers their songs.

Coldplay turned them down early on, but has since said to the producers, basically, “Here’s our catalog, use anything you want.”

Wow

LOL as usual on Twitter there have to be the select group of fans who are bitching because no one should ever, ever touch a David Cook song *rolls eyes*

Now I know why I was never tempted to join the Twitter revolution: it seems to attract the most interesting edges of fandom!

I have never understood this weird notion, within a very small faction of the Cook fandom, that once a song has been sung by Cook (or Andy!) nobody else should ever sing it ever again!!!! (Not even Cook, in Andy’s case, even if he had a hand in writing the song :lol).

They are aware that Cook came to public notice on a TV show, where he sang versions of other people’s songs, that had been sung before, by other people?

It’s just bizarre a) that people get so invested that they think no-one could ever sing that song in any interesting way again or b) that they have no concept of covers and the fact that someone choosing to cover your song is actually kind of flattering??!!

Note: I know that this is not a phenomenon limited to Cook or even to AI fans (see Billie Jean fuss from both C Cornell and M Jackson fans), but it’s still peculiar, IMO.

I bet for every 100 songs I am familiar enough with to sing the words I probably know who originally sang them 1/3 of the time…and that 1/3 is probably because the artist had/has staying power. Most of the suff on the radio, unless I am interested in the artist, is just words and music. I have probably heard of all Bieber’s songs but couldn’t name any of them..Rihanna, same thing and I don’t think I really know any of JLos music and even Mariahs stuff is iffy to me. But if I heard the songs I could sing along with them…just wouldn’t know who the artist was. Am I just really unusual and unobservant?

Tess:

I think most pop music nowadays is just very similar and doesn’t stand out in the way that would attract attention.

I agree that the only time I actually pay attention to who is singing is when either: a) I love the song and want to know so that I can track it down; or b) already know the artist and so make the link.

I wouldn’t imagine that was unusual: for a lot of the time, radio music is just background.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Bieber song; the only Rihanna song I know is that damn Umbrella thing, which, whilst being incredibly annoying, does stand out from the crowd.

But if I heard the songs I could sing along with them…just wouldn’t know who the artist was. Am I just really unusual and unobservant?

Sorry but I think yes. If a song becomes popular enough you will at some point here who the artist is, and once I know I usually don’t forget. I remember who sang the popular songs from when I was a child and even can identify most popular songs and who sang them from the 80s even though I was only alive for three of those years lol. Also if you liked the song I would think you would be curious enough to find out who sang it..

Anyway, good for David Cook. Having a song song on Glee is a great thing, it can only help. I have to say though that set list sucks for the first episode.

True Tess, but Cook has the added benefit of not just being a nameless, faceless voice on the radio. He was a very popular contestant on a reality TV show with 20 million plus viewers. A lot of even casual AI viewers feel like they know David Cook – probably far more than they know his original post-AI music. If these people really like the song on Glee and make the connection to Cook, it could be a real boost for him.

I do think that original songs tend to get some bump from Glee, but kind of like with Idol, there is no uniformity in amount of bump. I do recall both Battlefield and My Life Would Suck Without You getting bumps from being on Glee.

I don’t think CBTM being on Glee will necessarily be a boost for DC in terms of selling more copies of the single: though he may sell some.

For a start, I just don’t think it’s a good enough song to do that!

But, having a song that he recorded associated with the show is good publicity and good exposure. If nothing else, it shows that he hasn’t fallen down into the never ending pit of oblivion, just because his name isn’t in the weekly gossip mags, as I frequently see insinuated!

It gives me hope that it is still possible to forge a career in the US, in music, without having to push continuous and irrelevant media gossip, by relying on your music finding its niche with the public, as music.

And I find that to be a good thing.

And encouraging whilst enduring the never-ending wait for DCTR2 :lol

Who cares about David Cook if Puck is singing that song (to Quinn?)!!!! :-p

In all seriousness, that’s awesome for David if the spoilers are true. And the song fits where Wemma left off (you can go but I’ll be here when he breaks your heart kinda thing.)

Do we have confirmed artists on this one? I only ask because the only thing that came up when I googled the song for the rachel/finn number was an old boy band song from the Lizzie McGuire movie.

That’s awesome! Can’t wait to see it.

I don’t think CBTM being on Glee will necessarily be a boost for DC in terms of selling more copies of the single: though he may sell some.

Timmy singing partial CBTM on AI9 episode and not well, gave it and Cook’s album a nice boost, so I would bet that a well sung Glee version will sell a few singles and albums for David.

YAY!!! When will the season 2-1 air?

Yeah that is an interesting rumor. I could see “Come Back to Me” working for a couple different story lines. Puck/Quinn, Rachel/Jesse & Mr. Schuster/Emma. Or maybe all of them.

Otherwise I have no real idea if this will give David Cook any buzz or bump. It is the hated last single by the fandom. David had no hand in writing the song so he will see no royalties from it’s performance by other artists. And it doesn’t really represent who David is as an artist going forward. Hopefully. But yeah! for Zac Maloy one of the other writers.

I don’t think CBTM being on Glee will necessarily be a boost for DC in terms of selling more copies of the single: though he may sell some. For a start, I just don’t think it’s a good enough song to do that!

Hahaha. As a diehard Cook fan CBTM is definitely not my favorite song either, because of Cook not writing it, it’s being so non-representative of him, and frankly, it’s a little dull & generic for me. But to be fair, it is a romantic, sweeping, beautifully sung :) song, and is at least as good as many of the songs one hears on the radio today.

It is funny to hear non-fans come on here and admit that they like the song, and then us fans chime in repeatedly to shout how terrible it is. It did sell almost gold with little promotion, and still gets plenty of radio play. I’d say it’s not a BAD song, it’s just not to MY taste.

Yup. CBTM is pretty close to selling gold and still selling, say, a couple of thousand copies a week, and concerts at the Declaration Tour definitely seemed to show that a lot of people really liked the song—not necessarily the core fans, but a lot of people outside of that group who were still open enough to DC to come to a show.

Let’s just say that if Tim Urban’s audition with CBTM can give it a boost, I suspect that Matthew Morrison singing it (and, you know, hitting all of the notes) could also give it a boost. Just a guess.

I know it’s really weird. The fandom hates the song. Well pretty much. It was a hit just on HAC. Which yes, I know is nothing to sneeze at. But dudes like that song. No idea why. My brother likes that song. I mean, I don’t have data or anything just personal experience and stories from other fans. Shrug. Weird.

ETA: Were are these cray, cray fans I hear so much about? I am glad I have never encountered them. Sucks for the people that have. Are they just on twitter? Can’t you block those suckers? That’s what I do. If I even get a wiff of skeery off of anybody I block em.

The fandom hates this song? Aren’t I a member of said fandom? I’ve always been vocal about how much I like the song. I always say that just because there’s some more visible on-line vocal fans making the most noise, doesn’t make what they say is fact. LOL.

And besides, the underlying bias against the song, is the fact that many fans wanted a Cook penned song release instead. But I don’t care, I love it anyway. And I’m NOT turning in my fan card. :)

Garnetstar- I also can’t believe the guy love for CBTM. My 18 year-old brother and his high school friends really like the song, and at the one concert I went to, a middle-aged man next to me knew every single word. It was shocking.

I have never understood why the Cook fandom hates this song. It isn’t the best song in the world, but it isn’t bad. I wonder if it had not been released as a single if they would hate it as much. Or if he had a writitng credit on it.

I’m not a fan of the song for all the reasons mentioned above, but apparently a lot of people are. I live in a top 20 market and that damn song is still in the top 10 of my HAC’s playlist. If I have the radio on in my car I will hear it at some point in the day every.damn.time. I must admit, even though I don’t care for it, I still sing it at the top of my lungs when it comes on the radio. So yeah, if it turns out to be true, I think the original flavor will see a bump.

As a Glee fan who likes Cookie, I think this is awesome news! This show is like gold right now – everyone wants to be a part of it – so for his single to be chosen is pretty amazing. Especially if Will Shuester sings it to Emma.

I imagine the original artists are compensated with a portion of the sales, right? What could possibly be bad about this????

A handful of DC fans feel the need to tweet their hate of the song on a regular basis. Because of their steady drumbeat, it makes it seem like it is a legion It’s not, it’s just a handful.

At the Nokia last year, I watched the crowd and in particular the young guys with dates in front of me. They really got into CBTM and I Did It For You – so yeah, anecdotal evidence – but I noticed that guys in the audience really like the song.

I think people are starting to figure out that no matter how much you love how they sing it on the show, these songs just do NOT have what it takes to stay on regular rotation on an ipod.

Actually, if you ask me, it’s more of a matter of the songs being used in the back 9 haven’t been as good as the songs used in the first 13. I can listen to the glee songs for hours on end and do so on a daily basis. lol

Who cares about David Cook if Puck is singing that song (to Quinn?)!!!! :-p

That’s what I’m saying! It has me a little worried, to be honest. I hope these “spoilers” are not true!

The person who had those on their youtube account (as I saw these yesterday) only had the original versions, NOT glee versions.

At the Nokia last year, I watched the crowd and in particular the young guys with dates in front of me. They really got into CBTM and I Did It For You – so yeah, anecdotal evidence – but I noticed that guys in the audience really like the song.

I can vouch for this. I was surprised to see so many guys singing along to it. Though of the 5 shows I’ve been to the song that always really got the entire crowd singing was Light On. I wish he ended alls shows with that.

Glee is very popular and a lot of people don’t realize Cook sings Come Back to Me. It’s not one of my favorite Cook songs, but a lot of people seem to like it. (I’m just hoping it’s not going to end up being one of the many other songs with the name “Come Back to Me”! Here’s another site with a preview that will probably be taken down soon…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBbtVr7UuKM

I really want this list to be true only because I am dying for “Tubthumping” to have another resurgence! That song is so fun :) Even if these “spoilers” are wrong, I think whoever listed them did a good job picking songs (minus the duet) because many of us are able to construct plot points based around them.

A handful of DC fans feel the need to tweet their hate of the song on a regular basis.

Seriously, I don’t love the song, but I don’t hate it. I’ll never forget the time some young metal guy tweeted the lyrics to the song and a Cook fan basically asked him why he liked such a lame song – he wound up defending the song and Cook on twitter to Cook’s own fan!

I guess people have a hard time accepting that songs don’t have to be brilliant or huge successes for other people to like them :)

A handful of DC fans feel the need to tweet their hate of the song on a regular basis. Because of their steady drumbeat, it makes it seem like it is a legion It’s not, it’s just a handful.

Quite true, Jan – and also that usual Idol hyperbole thing – if one doesn’t just OMG Flove it – well then, they must hate it – no middle ground or room for preferences.

I’ll add to the apocryphal anecdotes – five concerts worth – plenty of guys in the audience – and they were singing along.

It’s amusing to watch the bumps that happen for every little thing, and even when there is nothing at all, as in the Finale – David gets a bump. The last time there was an update for CBTM was April 28, 2010 – and the total then was 442,000 – and that was a month and a half ago – so I’m thinking if this is used, there will be a bump – heck, if people talk about it being used enough, there will be a bump – for the song or for DCTR – happens every time – and it will push CBTM closer to Gold.

Although, with the benefit of hindsight, the song has done extremely well as a second single in this climate, Gold will still be cool. And I still would have preferred a song that rocked – but ‘hate’ is a very extreme word.

Yeah that was a bit of a subjective comment about “every” Cook fan hating the song. I know the prejudice against “Come Back to Me” is twofold. One he didn’t write it and two he didn’t write it. Haha. And well I think some fans were hoping for an uptempo song. 3 ballad type songs as singles for Cook the rocker was a bit much to swallow for people who were familiar with his previous work. But I guess that the record business for you.

I don’t like it and my dislike was instantaneous.

Not because he didn’t write it (I initially thought he might have) and not because it’s not representative of him as an artist (although it really isn’t when you look at it next to all his other songs). It’s not even so much that it plods, rhythmically, although that certainly doesn’t help.

I don’t like it because nobody is ever going to convince me that the appropriate response to “I’m leaving you because I have to go find myself” is anything other than “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.” As the song stands, it’s bullshit answering bullshit, and Cook singing to random California girl or Glee folks singing to each other doesn’t change that.

Of course, I don’t watch Glee, so I don’t have to be annoyed by its use in a storyline.

As for lots of people liking it: A lot of people think a lot of popular romantic memes are great. I don’t have to agree with the people who like this one any more than I have to agree with the people who think Edward and Bella’s relationship is somehow aspirational.

:lol

My ‘prejudice’ against CBTM is that it’s crap.

It’s very simple really.

That’s good for him if they use his song, because his cd sales do usually go up whenever a song is played on tv.

I do wish that they would have chosen something else for the second single off the cd, or have released another song afterwards. It isn’t my favorite, but I can’t argue that the song didn’t do well.

I think most of the problem is that it doesn’t really represent the rest of his songs or his style of writing. I kind of wonder if it was chosen because it did make a good video, and I’m not sure what they could have done for some of the other songs for a video.

I think that the biggest hit on the cd would have come from Kiss on the Neck, but it couldn’t be released because it was a hidden single. The reason I think it would have been a big hit is that last year, so many songs like that were hits, mainly by women, like Kelly Clarkson, and Katy Perry. Sort of rocked out sort of love hate songs. I think Kiss on the Neck would have fit in as sort of a male version of these songs. Maybe Come Back to me fits into this as well.

The funny part is, if I’m listening to the cd, I usually skip Come Back to Me, but if I hear it on the radio I’m happy to hear it.

A couple of things made a difference for me with this song. First, hearing it live.

But second: in the video for CBTM, DC wears a wedding ring. It is not unusual for someone in a marriage to feel like they need a breather, that they’ve changed in some way, and I could see a spouse who wanted to make the marriage work say, go do what you need to do (go to college, spend time with your parents, etc.), but I’m keeping the faith that you’ll come back.

It is the hated last single by the fandom.

For one thing, this is a different fandom, so the hate may not translate. I dislike this song ultimately because it barred Lie from ever becoming a single. Anyway, I’m just glad it may end up as added exposure for Cookie — and timing-wise, it could be very good since Cookie’s 2nd album may be out buy then (or his first single from the new album).

the appropriate response to “I’m leaving you because I have to go find myself” is anything other than “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.”

You nailed it, Standtotheright – I could have gotten past every other issue -maybe it was the Knight in Shining Armor meme that appealed to so many younger guys – but it was a turn off to me and many people I knew. And for a change – it wasn’t the ‘live in concert’ performance that let me see it in a palatable light – it was the video – that flipped that meme as backwards as the singing – and left the ironic vision of the “things right where you left them” – disappearing into the garbage truck. That, I could live with.

Been better if Zac Maloy had worked out his old GF issues ‘before’ he helped write that – but as long as I flip the whole thing like the video – it still works for me….and I also will not be watching Glee to see someone do it straight up sincere. No annoyance factor there either. *wink*

FolkFan, that’s a nice idea, but the way the partner/spouse is written in that song does not sound like someone who has any intention of including the other in any way through whatever the life change is. So if she’s letting him pine anyway, it’s just not a relationship dynamic I have any respect for.

I understand that it happens. One time out of a thousand, it might even end up happily after all. But that’s 999 times that I’m not going to like a song about it.

I like CBTM but don’t love it yet I get excited when I hear it on the radio. Actually, on a survey by our local HAC station it stated that CBTM was one of the biggest hits last summer. lol They play a ton of idols and Kris & Adam are played all the time now.

Folkfan, I think that’s the snake ring he’s wearing, not a wedding ring. Off to re-watch the video just for the heck of it.

ETA: Totally agree with Hypertwink regarding releasing Lie as a single. If only…

Now, the video CBTM was very nice to look at…very nice…but it had weird hair.

I actually preferred the bouncy Dave segments of LO: to such an extent that I would rather download the LO video for snatched visions of bouncy Dave, interspersed with crappy diner/banal bycycle story, than CBTM solely focusing on backwards Dave.

ETA: I have had far too much wine tonight, following a 6 week wine embargo, for a diet in which I have lost about a stone, so I may not be making much sense, in which case, please ignore me…:Lol

OK had to re-watch LO video as well and I too prefer Bouncy Dave but the CBTM video is pretty good too.

ETA: I agree about the CBTM hair but his lips sure look pretty in both videos!! Tierbee, where are you?? lol

fadetowhite, I’m with you on preferring LO’s bouncy Dave. More of that, please. Which means–Dave performing with the band. Which means Dave in live concert with them. Which means Dave and the band really bringing the songs alive. Which means they’ll never listen to me, lol.

I agree, that I wish they had released Lie as a single also. I think it’s a much better song and better represents his writing. I also think it would have done better because it would have gotten the audience that liked TOML, also.

I would have released Light On, Declaration (because it’s more uptempo and really represents him), Lie, and then KOTN. Light On, because it did so well. I also think Souvenier would have done well too if it had been on the cd. And I would release Heroes now as a single because of how NBC sports is using it.

From interviews I’ve seen, it does seem that they didn’t release more because the single and cds continued to do well. I just wonder if it would have done even better. And they did release Permanent also, and BBS, but they didn’t really take off.

Curlin:

But his lips always look pretty, so that’s hardly an argument either way…

ETA: told you I’d had too much wine!

Fadetowhite, LOL step away from the wine or at least share! ;)

And they did release Permanent also, and BBS, but they didn’t really take off.

karen, it’s true that BBS didn’t take off, but Permanent was never released to radio. The charity release was a special limited time offer. The album track was released to music services that create in-store playlists for retail and such, but so were other album tracks like Heroes.

Oh, and people really aren’t downloading the song even after weeks and weeks of hearing it on the TV, so I’d say that proves Heroes wasn’t a good single choice. Not every song is. Doesn’t mean it’s not great for its current purpose.

karenC: Bar-ba-sol never received any kind of push or support and Permenant was released for a limited time, without radio or performance support, post AI, as a charity single.

I don’t think either of them tell us anything.

That said, IMO it was a joint decision to move on without releasing more singles, which would have prolonged the publicity and delayed the move onto DCTR2.

For no reason whatsoever, other than gut instinct, I just suspect that Cook and the gang were itching to move on: to get off the road and write and record.

If any other song had been released, I think Heroes stood the best chance as a single: the chorus is really catchy and would stand out on radio.

My favourite songs on DCTR1 would probably not be radio friendly…but that’s not unusual.

Fadetowhite, LOL step away from the wine or at least share!

Alas – there’s not much left!

I can tell! ;)

My prejudice against the song is as others have already stated, he didn’t write it, it’s very bland/unrepresentative of his own writing, it’s a third ballad as a single, and when they didn’t release a fourth single, it became the obstacle/scapegoat to any of Dave’s own songs being released to radio.

Late last Spring though, on a beautiful Saturday morning, I was awoken by the sound of my next door neighbor blaring their radio out over a pool party their kids were having, and gradually I became aware that the voice in the song was familiar, and in trying to identify it, it pulled me completely out of dreamland, lol, and I had to get up, go to my window and open it. Hearing CBTM saturate the entire block was so beautiful, I refused to angst about it from that point forward, lol.

I am happy if this rumor is true. This is good publicity even if it doesn’t result in much of a bump sales-wise, and should be right in the middle of David’s new single (which better be one he’s written!) and/or new album promo cycle. Every little bit helps.

But dudes like that song. No idea why

This is funny, as I had a conversation the other day with the driver who delivers supplies to the commissary where I work. CBTM
began to play on the radio, so I turned the volume louder.(even though I don’t like the song.) He stopped for a moment and mentioned that he really liked the song. That kind of surprised me. He went on to say that it doesn’t sound all sappy like other love songs. I asked him if he had heard anything else of David’s, and he gave me one of those “are you kidding me” faces. I sarcastically
accused him of not giving David a chance, and he replied that dudes want to like Cook but get annoyed by the way females get so defensive over everything pertaining to him. Perhaps like this:

LOL as usual on Twitter there have to be the select group of fans who are bitching because no one should ever, ever touch a David Cook song *rolls eyes*

*Note- that’s in reference to the situation, not the poster( just wanted to make that clear)
This frustrates me because, of course, not all his female fans do act this way, and I think a male fan base will be very important for him.

karenC: Bar-ba-sol never received any kind of push or support and Permenant was released for a limited time, without radio or performance support, post AI, as a charity single.

I don’t think either of them tell us anything.

Right, but especially for Barbasol, it may be seen as a single release that didn’t work by the record company. Even thought they didn’t push it either. And I know that Permanent was a charity single, but was just thinking maybe they had to agree to release it instead of a regular single, or something like that.

That said, IMO it was a joint decision to move on without releasing more singles, which would have prolonged the publicity and delayed the move onto DCTR2.

For no reason whatsoever, other than gut instinct, I just suspect that Cook and the gang were itching to move on: to get off the road and write and record.

I think so too. I think the tour showed that he could do harder edged music than the cd and that it would be well recieved by fans. And he works so well with his band, too. And I think the intention behind having the cowriters he is working with is to have some big hits.

I asked him if he had heard anything else of David’s, and he gave me one of those “are you kidding me” faces. I sarcastically
accused him of not giving David a chance, and he replied that dudes want to like Cook but get annoyed by the way females get so defensive over everything pertaining to him.

I can very readily believe this in general, but I’m still curious as to what examples he gave. Just because it seems odd to me that someone wouldn’t know any of his music but would know enough about his fans to accuse them of being “defensive.”

I didn’t want him to go away thinking I was in that group of “defensive females” standtotheright, so I didn’t continue the conversation.He did mention that his wife was a big fan; maybe he was referring to her?

He did mention that his wife was a big fan; maybe he was referring to her?

LOL maybe he is hoping that his wife will come back to him (from DC fandom)?

I have one other anecdotal story. I gifted the DC album to a friend who usually likes hard rock. The gift came with the condition that she tell me what she honestly thought. She liked two songs – Barbasol and CBTM. I pushed what about Lie? What about Kiss On The Neck? Nope for her it was Barbasol and CBTM. Why CBTM? It meant something to her – she was in a relationship hiatus – and was really hoping that the guy would someday open his eyes and come back. It made her wistful. When it became a single on the radio – and she heard it for the first time – she let me know that she still loved that song. If it is on Glee – I can’t wait – I know she will be thrilled.

That’s a funny story, jan. I could think of a few guys who make their way back into my memory whenever I hear Feed Your Ego!

It will be way cool if this turns out to be true. The only thing that would make it better is if DC has a cameo. He’s got the chops. C’mon, Ryan!! You know you want to.

I’m not a fan of harder rock, but I loved KOTN. Didn’t like BBS, and I thought I would because that’s, like, the awesomest song title EVER. But it just laid there (for me, etc.). I think CBTM is very pretty, and I like it.

I love how everything is cyclical in Cookistan. First the WHHWWS discussion comes round again, and now The Great Windy Debate has come back to me. My stance, which I’m always happy to discuss, except to David, on Twitter (because seriously, people do that why???) : don’t like the song, and it’s not a bias because Cook didn’t write it (although I was secretly stoked to find out he didn’t because it struck me as so, well, unCookian.) It’s because I don’t like the song. LOL It’s boring and I can’t relate to it. I usually like my Cookie served with a side of brooding angst and a dollop of a little hopeful fortitude. Might be why I liked it a touch better when Cook started to do a snarkier sounding live version. I had a new thought that maybe he’s just saying all of this really ridiculous crap because he realizes she’s given him free pass to go buck wild while she’s on her, erm, journey. Yeah, buh bye, go find yourself, I’m cool with that. See you when you come back. *door slams* Whoopee, freedom! Or something. Come to think of it, this might be why so many guys like the song. Well, it’s better than moping about looking at her things while the bizatch is running around with the wind in her hair.

That said, if Glee wants to use it, I think it’s fantastic for Cook. Anything that adds to his pop culture cache is a good thing IMO. Since these spoilers aren’t confirmed, fingers crossed.

I would be thrilled if this turns out to be true. Hopefully it is! :)

FolkFan: “I do recall both Battlefield and My Life Would Suck Without You getting bumps from being on Glee.”

Did you mean “No Air”? “Battlefield” has not been sung on Glee.

Count me as another Cook fan who likes “Come Back To Me”. But then again, my tastes don’t generally line up with most other fans as my favourite song from the album is “Heroes”.

I am happy if this rumor is true. This is good publicity even if it doesn’t result in much of a bump sales-wise, and should be right in the middle of David’s new single (which better be one he’s written!) and/or new album promo cycle. Every little bit helps.

Hell yeah! Not a Glee fan, not a big CBTM fan either, but Dave getting prime time television exposure on the hottest music-related show in the country right as his new music is coming out? That would be EPIC (Neal!). Really hoping this rumor pans out.
