Comments on: Idol Headlines for 10/18/08 http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-101808-2.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: ShariG http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-101808-2.htm/comment-page-2/#comment-165251 ShariG Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:48:58 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-101808-2.htm#comment-165251 The LA Times review of David Cook's new CD is one of the most articulate and right on that I have read. She obviously gets David Cook. Very good read and I am really glad that she gave props to his A Daily Anthem written entirely by David himself. The CD is incredible. Interesting that Come Back to Me is doing so well on Amazon downloads. My favorite continues to be Lie, but ever song is terrific in its own right. There isn't a single bad one. Mr. Sensitive is addictive. Barbasol is fun. Permanent is a tear jerker. He dedicated Declaration to the fans. Amazing reception for a debut album. I'm so happy for him.

I emailed that to mj this afternoon. I LOLd at that too! PSHAW! on that review from NPR. "Histrionic singing?" I thought that was what attracted so many people to Cook. I saw it as expressive and real, not histrionic, as in: 1. of or pertaining to actors or acting. 2. deliberately affected or self-consciously emotional; overly dramatic, in behavior or speech. Yeah, Cook has been acting all these years. Gosh, he WAS in those high school plays, ya know. And what could he possibly have to be overly dramatic about? Let's see...could it be...LIFE, maybe? Oh, maybe men aren't supposed to be so "emotional." Much ado about nothing eh? And the songs are meaningless? I dunno, maybe he didn't hear the words. Ah well, YMMV! ETA: Oh and once again, being compared to Nickelback is a BAD thing. Is it fashionable among "music" people or "critics" to hate Nickelback for some reason? If you like them, are you not a music snob or something? I honestly don't get it. I don't own any Nickelback but maybe I'll buy some to see what this is all about!

The DJ said that someone wanted to ask Cook a question about the album, but he wouldn't say who the person was. I suspected it was our David and it was! He said, "Heyyyy David, it's David!" and Cook and everyone in the studio started laughing. Then David asks, "which song on your album was the hardest to record?" something like that. Cook might have said something about David, but I can't remember. Anyway, it was nice to hear his voice on the radio again.</blockquote> oh hey anyone got the wplj interview?

I can't find it on wplj site. I have a picture in my head of David doing that Men's Fitness interview with tongue firmly in cheek and his eyes just rounding up in innocence.....And the other funny thing? The interviewer dug up Mavidance! All in the name of research. Where can we hear that Acoustic Cafe? I can’t find it on wplj site.

I can't believe the interviewer didn't at least call him on the Chariots of Fire thing. At least it was a totally positive article!
