Cookin’ along, fueled by ‘Idol’

David Cook, victor of the seventh season of “American Idol,” is in good spirits on the phone from the Albany, N.Y. tour stop of the “American Idols Live” tour. “The response has been great to everyone,” says the 25-year-old from Blue Springs, Mo.

Cook is currently whirling through the now-familiar frantic schedule of his predessors – playing a nationwide tour with his fellow finalists while jetting off to various studios between gigs to record his debut album with respected producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance) for 19 Recordings/RCA. Cook says the album is slated for release mid-November.

David Cook Goes Out to the Ballgame

“American Idol” winner David Cook is continuing to enjoy the perks his big win brings — he threw out the first pitch today at a New York Mets game.

“I’m a huge sports fan, a big baseball fan and so to be able to do anything like this is always really cool,” Cook, who was sporting a beard, said of the experience.

David Cook was invited to Shea Stadium by Mets third baseman David Wright, who founded the David Wright Foundation. Cook said, “David [Wright] actually reached out to me towards the end of the ["American Idol"] season, really wanted to try to help out to get my older brother out to the finale and stuff, really reached out and he was cool, and then reached out very recently to invite me out today.”

Last week “American Idol” runner-up David Archuleta premiered his new single, “Crush,” on “The Elvis Duran Morning Show” radio broadcast in New York.

Since then, the show as well as the single have had a load of hits on various Web sites.

While “Crush” isn’t groundbreaking in ushering in a new music fad, the song is unobtrusive and pleasant.

Nigel Lythgoe: ‘American Idol’ exit is sad, but it was time to move on

Nigel Lythgoe said his decision to step down as American Idol’s executive producer was a necessary one, but that apparently didn’t make the break-up any easier.

“I’m really sad even talking about it,” said Lythgoe during a Thursday’s broadcast of Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show.

“It is one of those things that’s a love of your life that you need to give up, purely and simply because I have to move on and the program has to move on as well. I hope they don’t tweak it too much because it’s a very simple format and that’s the beauty of it.”

‘So You Think You Can Dance’: And the Winner Is…

Joshua Allen, the 19-year-old hip-hopper from Fort Worth, Texas, won the title of ”America’s Favorite Dancer” for season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance.

The season finale kicked off with the season’s top 20 dancers reunited on stage for a hip-hop routine that ended with the final four contestants à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  Allen, Stephen ”Twitch” Boss, Courtney Galiano, and Katee Shean à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  standing above the rest. Courtney, pegged as the underdog early on, was the first to be dismissed. Katee was next, finishing in third place overall, but receiving a $50,000 prize as the top female finisher. That left Joshua and Twitch, the two hip-hop performers who joked during Wednesday night’s show about their rivalry, as the finalists for the title, $250,000, and a role in Step Up 3D.

The guy is built like a football player, dances like a thug, talks like a gentleman and cries like a baby. More importantly, at 19 he can perform any style of dance and make it look like heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s been doing it for years, all without any extensive training.

    Q: As a big Green Day fan, what did you think when you heard Rob Cavallo was interested?

    A: Rob’s top tier. He came to us, and I took that as a massive compliment. We talked about what we wanted to do, and everything just clicked.

    This from the Boston Globe interview is made of win :clap_tb:

  • tinawina

    Damn, Cavallo approached HIM. Holy freakin cow. I would love to know what made him reach out. That is fantastic!

    Nigel I thought you turned the corner but proved agian that you can be a big jerk by the slight put- down of contestants (mark,Will )and infamous “Americia got it right/wrong” saying to slightly diss other fans. Way to show that class.

    Speaking of Class congradulations Joshua !!!This is from someone who liked Twitch.

    More than anything else, I’d really like someone serious, like Billboard or Rolling Stone or EW, to interview Cavallo about his involvement in David’s album. What made him reach out, how the process has been going, between tour stops and all, and what he thinks about the upcoming album in general.
    I would really enjoy reading his take on the whole thing.

    And it is really freaking amazing that he’s the one who approached David about the album, and not the other way around.

    DITTO!!! That would be simply awesome! From the little I’ve seen of him, I really like this Cavallo guy! It’s exciting that he’s such a critically acclaimed producer. I love it! This truly seems to be a huge compliment to DC!

    In other news, Andrew Cook is such a ham! I love how he’s getting to be a part of this yrs. idol auditions. He must be having a great time!:)

    The Boston Globe article was all sorts of awesome. Somebody could actually think and ask new questions :) The answers were even better. I figured Cavello came to him after watching his video of how he works.

  • waffle

    I agree on the Boston Globe article being awesome. Come to think of it, every time new questions are asked of David, he always manages to come up with very interesting, well thought out and eloquent answers. IMO, he’s truly an interviewer’s (and reader’s) dream come true. What an engaging man he is! :)

  • spritely

    And a wonderful birthday present to me, too, gingerly!

  • tinawina

    Congrats Clay!

    And on the Cook Globe inteview thing, did I mention how intrigued I am by Muse being one of his inspirations for this album? That’s one of the most creative, daring bands around. They always incorporate left-of-field sounds into their songs. I damn near fell out of my chair when I heard that. My expectations for this album just went up a tiny notch. :)

    “Parker was born at a hospital in North Carolina just this morning at 8:08 AM. Wow… 8:08 ..08/08/08

    Weighed in at 6 lbs 2 oz and measured 19 inches

    The little man is healthy, happy, and as loud as his daddy. Mama Jaymes is doing quite well also.

    The Aiken family, the Foster family, and the Parker family are all thrilled.”

  • spritely

    tinawina, the Muse News had the same effect on me. I read somewhere, months ago, that DC likes Muse, and I got all excited even about that little bit. But to see him put them in this new list is all full of YES!! for me. Funny, because just yesterday I heard “Black Holes & Revelations” on the radio and I thought, David Cook could sooo do stuff like that–in his own way, of course, ’cause Muse is Muse and Cook is Cook.

    I saw Muse in concert a year or so ago in Kansas City. Wow. It just now occurs to me as I type this that DC could well have been there, too.

    ::Wishes I could go back and scan the crowd!!::

    Congrats Kristy and Archie!

    The article doesn’t mention it, but Archie debuted at #93 on the Pop 100, and #57 on the Pop 100 Airplay charts (highest debut of the week on the airplay chart). Great for only 1 day of play!

    And congrats to Kristy for doing so well on the Country chart! She may just have a hit on her hands.

  • IGetCranked

    soundscene, Do you know how long Kristy’s song has been out and played?

    That is just nuts for Archie’s song to chart with one day of play and not being officially released or added. I wasn’t expecting that.

  • Jolene

    That is just nuts for Archieà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s song to chart with one day of play and not being officially released or added. I wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t expecting that.

    Oh, I was. All signs are showing it’s going to be a big hit. Congrats Archie and fans!

    What I’m curious about is – is it true that the iTunes release is still only on September 2nd? If so – why wait so long? It would make a whole lot more sense to release it now, wouldn’t it?

  • IGetCranked

    I just checked around and it is actually August 12 now. That’s way better because now they can catch this little frenzy right now and hopefully get more sales than illegal downloads.

    I don’t know exactly how long Kristy’s song has been playing, but I heard from one of her fans that country stations had been playing it on and off for a couple of weeks now. Not sure how many or what her spin count is, though. I believe “15 Minutes” was officially released to radio on Tuesday (meaning the radio impact date was Tuesday).

    As for Archie, “Crush” was debuted on Z100, which has the largest audience impression in the country (and Billboard counts audience impression numbers). They played him a few times that day, as did WBLI, the station out of Long Island, and 3 Salt Lake City stations. All in all, he reached a rather large radio market for his first day (and thankfully, those stations have kept playing the song).

    “Crush” has been #1 on Z100′s 9@9 countdown twice (Tuesday and Thursday), dethroning the Jonas Brothers’ “Burnin’ Up,” which was entrenched at #1 since July 3rd, and it has remained a fixture on both the 9@9 countdown and Z100′s high noon Top 4 countdown since the day it debuted. Z100 hasn’t put it on heavy rotation yet (it still doesn’t get morning play), but I’m hoping it’s just a matter of time. Also, KIIS FM in LA (Ryan’s station, with the second largest audience impression) hasn’t jumped on the bandwagon yet, although some stations are supposed to start playing it on August 12th. The radio impact date is still set at September 2nd for Top 40 and September 1st for Hot AC, though, which means many stations may not consider playing it until that time.

  • IGetCranked

    Thank you for all the information. This is amazing and I’m so happy for him!

    Wonder why Rami calls DC Darren

    I noticed that too. This years crop of idols are odd ducks! LOL

  • soundscene

    Edit to my above post. The article says Archie had 1 day of radio play, and I got confused, but the article isn’t right. It should be 5 days of radio play (mostly in NY), since Billboard tracks airplay from Wednesdays to Tuesdays.

    Oh, All Access reported that in the past 7 days, “Crush” ranked #1 on its “Taking Off” Top 40/mainstream chart, meaning it had the most added spins (199) and most added radio stations (13) for songs showing detections for the first time.

    August 12 is the official radio release date. Are you sure it’s being released to iTunes at the same time?

    It’s not unusual for a song to be released to radio ahead of being released to iTunes.

  • Lu

    Has Archie gotten spins on Radio Disney yet? I’d be curious to see how he does in their countdowns – battling Miley, Jonas Bros, Demi Livato, etc. Don’t laugh too much at Radio Disney – they also spin Daughtry, Carrie, Elliott, and Jordin quite a bit!
