Carrie said she asked David to sing ‘Lie’  because it’s her favorite track on DCTR.

Aha, I knew it! And the guests too! That’s just right. Her show, her choice. She chose the duet song with Brad Paisley too… he complained it was too wordy, haha!

God bless that girl. And she knows her shit.

A little more about the guests

Carrie hand selected her guests, all of whom are friends (Kristen Chenoweth, Christina Applegate, Sons of Sylvia (formerly called The Clarke Brothers), Dolly Parton & Brad Paisley (the latter two will be taping tomorrow, alas David will not – he’s on a red-eye to Indiana right now).

Excerpts from a recap posted on DCO by Scott:

“Lie” knocked me over the first time, but the second pass it happened. The hairs on my neck shot up, as did the hairs on my arm. A capella was included, but at the mic. Powerful. Audience was perfect. Quiet where they needed to be quiet, cheering where they needed to be cheering…(snip)..The duet. Man that rocked. Van Halen’s “Why Can’t This Be Love.” The chemistry between Carrie & David is fantastic. Love, love, love the together, and they clearly enjoy working with one another….(snip)…David looked and sounded his best, and it is NOT a schmaltzy holiday special. Very few Christmas references (just a few numbers), very secular, very rock and country. Surprised how much it rocked. Happy about that….

Oh, almost forgot. David did a wicked guitar solo during the Van Halen duet.! He moved to front, stage right and the steady cam zoomed in on his guitar and he was great. He was also doing some of the Van Halen riffs while they were waiting to roll tape. He was really into that song. That boy has picked up some skilz this past year! After 130+ shows, I would think so!

@TMZShow @HarveyLevinTMZ David Cook is going to LAX! He's going to film for Extreme Makeover Home Edition! You guys there?!

Ugh!

@thedavidcook Cook absolutely SLAYED it tonight!! The best I’ve EVER heard him! Way 2 knock another 1 outta the park! The Chiefs could use u

OMG I need video or pics damn it! I’m pretty sure David follows Cory. WTF am still doing up when I have to get up for work at like 6am?!

eta:

@mellowdeeLEE: Oh!! And @thedavidcook and Carrie did a “skit” and it was awkward and dorky before their duet. He said thanks for letting him come to pimp..

mellowdeeLEE: …his album and she said her producers made her invite him. Lolz. Their duet was cute. @thedavidcook used his white guitar for it.

Is it December yet?

@glengirl4dc David looked so good. Hot boots black jacket n pantz. Haircut no lock2pus. Less scruff. 2 hot.

@shellberry77
cookwood rocked the house
lie was flawless both times
they did all songs twice
boys were in the back david out frnt

@LiterateGal Carrie was stunningly beautiful, but David stole the show and the audience. Amazing performance of Van Halen and Lie

@wehoscott Well, when Mr. Cook brings it, he takes no prisoners. Tonight he killed it. Killed, killed killed. Audience = dead.

@ wehoscott Pass number 2 for “Lie” literally made the hair on my neck and arms stand up. He never looked more handsome. Band rocked.

@wehoscott To clear up the shaing issue, @LiterateGal already explained. He cleaned it up and trimmed… more of a goatee, not a complete shave…

@wehoscott beautiful side bangs. He had full wardrobe, stylist, hair, makeup, the works.

@john_socal @wehoscott mincing words. There was a lot less facial hair and it makes him look 10 yrs younger.

@thedavidcook Cook absolutely SLAYED it tonight!! The best I’ve EVER heard him! Way 2 knock another 1 outta the park! The Chiefs could use u

tweet: glengirl4dc David n carrie duet why cant this be love by van halen. Hot as hell. David did lie twice. Ded.

john_socal Dfc stole the show

john_socal Lie lie lie

More tweets. I really need to go to bed, but this is so fun!

He sang Lie!!

I hope the reports about Lie are true, but, then again, that gets me dreaming that they’re just waiting for the last leg of the tour to start up in a couple of weeks to announce that it’s the next single. Always something to angst about when you’re a Cook fan, LOL.

A warning to Lambert fans: This is your future.

Uh-oh…ha-ha!

@john_socal Bit of comedy with carrie b4 van halen. Little lame but the show is going to be a hit. Carrie skits hilarious on tape

thedavidcook I did not shave. Odd I have to tweet that. Absurdity is afoot’ ¦

Heh. There were 2081 people on DCO as of 30 minutes ago because one of the people attending said he may have recaps/pics by 10:30pm PST or so. Lots of peeps from the later time zones were staying up just for the tiniest of crumbs (such as whether he shaved or not). Absurd is right.
