    DCO rumour has it that DavidC and Carre will be singing together at Disney this week. Would love to see that.

    I squeeed out loud reading that rumor. Here’s hoping it’s true. I’ve been hoping for either a Cook/Clarkson duet or a Cook/Underwood duet for awhile…

    If it’s true, I wonder what they’ll sing. And if we’ll ever get to see it.

    ETA:

    With all these appearances by Cook, doesnt that mean they (he or RCA) will finally be releasing that 2nd single we have all been waiting for?
    Doesnt it? Huh?à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ Huh?à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

    I sure hope so. It’s time. Actually, it’s already overdue.
    If there isn’t a 2nd single announced and performed during GMA or sometime during this week, the only thing I can think of is that his next single will be the boot song and they’ll be waiting for Top 12 to announce it. Otherwise – there’s no reason not to have a new song out ASAP.

    I hope so, although the fact that LO is still climbing on HAC may affect RCA’s strategy.

    YAY! That will be awesome. I hope Carrie gets to rock out. Didn’t she say she was a closet rocker?

    YES, she has done great performances of her rock-ish song “Last Name” and Heart’s “Alone”. Plus she loves loves loves DCTR, hope this is true!!!

    I don’t know where the rumor originated, but I just saw on DCO that possibly both DC and Carrie are performing at WDW, but not necessarily together.

    Do we know of anyone else performing? Seems like with so many Idols present, they could do some really cool things together, if someone was inclined to make it interesting.

    I’d love to see a David/Carrie duet. It probably won’t happen though. Usually when I get my hopes up about things AI, they don’t happen.

    Even though LO is climbing on HAC, I still think they should put out a new single. I’ve seen artists have more than one single on the charts. Like Jason Mraz with I’m Yours and Lucky, or Taylor Swift has had 2 or more on the charts, so has Daughtry, and Kelly, I’m pretty sure. Since David’s cd has a lot of great songs on it, why not get moving on the single? So there can be more to follow.
