David Cook takes on a role in his next music video, sharing an onscreen kiss with actress Sara Roemer (Disturbia), filmed at the LAX airport in Los Angeles.

Directed by Gavin Bowden (Red Hot Chile Peppers, Jason Mraz, Lifehouse), the video promotes David’s next single, “Come Back To Me” which hits Top 40 radio on Tuesday (March 17) and Hot AC, March 30.

    poor girl. i hope she was well compensated.

  • Dr. Tracey

    *sigh* only in my dreams

    lucky girl, I can’t wait to see the video.

  • Layla

    Am I being a little too freaky if I say I cannot WAIT to see how he kisses?

    Am so looking forward to seeing this video…and the boy looks damn delicious!

  • http://myspace.com/pm68 Pam

    Just beautiful.

  • hypertwink

    I’m excited because 1) a story that connects to the lyrics hopefully, 2) the backwards thing, and 3) DC acting. Yay!

    p.s. MJ, it’s Sarah Roemer.

  • oceana

    I’m very excited for David’s first screen kiss, and that he’ll be highlighted in the story this time. I heard a rumor that the band will also be featured quite a bit. Hope it’s true. I think this video might be put out next Tuesday? I can’t wait.

  • Trina

    Lucky beeyotch.

    Layla, it’s ok. I think it’s quite important for us to examine, um, his technique.

  • Ashley19

    I love Sara Romer! She’s very pretty IMO. And David is looking hotter than ever..
    Lucky girl! :smile1_tb:

    poor girl. i hope she was well compensated.

    LOL. See the compensation is… she gets to kiss David. See how that works. Simple.

  • Jolene

    Take it with a grain of salt, but the rumor floating around is that the video will premiere March 30th. I tend to believe this since it works well with David’s Idol performance on April 1st. I bet they’ll show at least a snippet of the video on the show as part of the promotion.

    Oh, and as much as the kiss excites me, I’m much more excited about David doing some acting, and about the backward thing. Really curious to see how it all comes together.

  • Ashley19

    Another great picture:

    Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m much more excited about David doing some acting, and about the backward thing.

    The backward thing?

  • rockvixen

    aghhh! David’s sex appeal is diminishing pretty soon he’ll be bald. yuk

  • oceana

    I thought the video would come out before March 30, since the single is impacting before then, but what do I know. Not much. LOL. Thanks Jolene.

  • Jolene

    The backward thing?

    Yeah, appearantly David had to learn how to sing CBTM backwards, which means at least some of the video will be in reverse motion (IE the film will be played backwards so David’s lips will match the words of the song while everything else will be reversed).

    I could imagine them starting the video with David and Sarah together (again) and then going “back in time” to show how they parted. Or, you know, something else entirely. LOL

    I thought the video would come out before March 30, since the single is impacting before then, but what do I know. Not much. LOL. Thanks Jolene.

    Oh, it’s all rumors, I’m just reporting what I heard, but again, I don’t know what’s the original source or how reliable it was. Salt shaker at hand.
    Also, I’m still unclear what’s the correct add date for CHR, since there are two sites with two versions. Eh, the important thing is that it’s coming soon.

  • kimberann

    It will be a number 1 video fo sho!!

  • ilovetohateai

    It will be a number 1 video fo sho!!

    yep, just like Light On!!!

  • Trina

    David himself told some fans that the editing would take longer due to the way the video was shot, I’m assuming the whole backwards thing makes for some tricky editing. I have a feeling 4/14 IS the new impact date mostly because spins are way, way too low right now. At least I hope it was pushed back.

    aghhh! Davidà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s sex appeal is diminishing pretty soon heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll be bald. yuk

    Eh. Kenny Chesney is bald under his cowboy hat. I’d still hit that :lol_tb:

    yep, just like Light On!!!

    Yep indeed! I’d love to see this one debut at #1 on the VH1 countdown like Light On did!

  • erennick

    aghhh! Davidà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s sex appeal is diminishing pretty soon heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll be bald. yuk

    Really? I think he has as much hair (or little, depending on your perception) as he has ever had.

    I thought this actress was really pretty in Disturbia and am psyched to see the video.

  • Jolene

    yep, just like Light On!!!

    Hopefully. LO was a #1 video on VH1 and did very well there.
    The VH1 countdown is influenced by the HAC chart, but I think CBTM will do well on that format, so I definitely see this video as having a strong potential on VH1. BTW – LO is still on the chart at #16, which is nice because it had a long run.

    Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d love to see this one debut at #1 on the VH1 countdown like Light On did!

    Me too Trina, that was a wonderful surprise and very rewarding considering my sore fingers! LOL

  • littlepark

    Will there be a video for Bar-ba-sol?

    (Out of loop)

  • Jolene

    David just did a new song (unreleased? Entirely new?) on his show that’s on right now. I have no idea what it was. Dammit.

    Will there be a video for Bar-ba-sol?

    Right now there’s nothing indicating there will be, but I guess until we hear there won’t be, it’s all open.

  • daenarys

    “It will be a number 1 video fo sho!!”

    “yep, just like Light On!!!”

    Oh yeah, Light On was only one of a handful of videos to debut at NO. 1 on vh1!!!

  • leome

    That picture seems to come from a chick flick!

    Sounds like this video will be more interesting than LO, bring it!
    And he’s looking pretty.

    David just did a new song (unreleased? Entirely new?) on his show thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s on right now. I have no idea what it was. Dammit.

    Good thing we live in the youtube Era!
    I’m loving the banter video from last night.

  • cookmerized

    sorry – this prob isn’t the right place for this, but am i the only one unable to get on to davidcookofficial today?

  • leome

    It’s working fine for me, Cookmerized.

  • Jolene

    Good thing we live in the youtube Era!

    Here’s hoping someone got it on video and it indeed makes its way to YouTube.

    The song’s name is appearantly “Souvenir”, an unreleased song from the DCTR recording sessions. All of this is highly unconfirmed though, since the source is twitter.

  • chrissy0464

    I don’t know guys..at last night’s concert he announced that Barbasol was going to be his next single..not come Back To Me!

  • movin2thabeet

    It’s a dual release – CBTM and BBS. We’ve heard David say so himself. CBTM is just starting to get some radio spins so it is on board for an imminent release, whenever that might be.

  • templeton

    Damn, I think he looks smoking hot. Like the stylists got ahold of him, lol. Thanks for the pictures & link MJ. Interested to hear this new song. Wonder if it is from his unreleased album or maybe it is just a cover.

  • Michelle

    Oh yay, he’ll get to work his acting chops in this vid, it looks like :)

    And those pics, delish…

  • Jolene

    The new song isn’t a cover. Whatever era it’s originally from, it’s a DC song. The song title didn’t appear on the unreleased album’s tracklist, that’s why I tend to believe it might be newer.

    Sorry for post-hoing, I’m excited about new music from DC… LOL

  • sma11ie

    Aw man, I remember being really annoyed with this chick’s posture in Disturbia… and I can’t help it, but that’s the first thing I’m noticing in this pic! She just had this really pronounced scrunched shoulders thing going on in the movie, and the fact that I can see it even under her jacket makes me worried that it’ll be distract me from the pretty in the video… [flips through the picture set again], okay who am I kidding, nothing will distract me from the pretty– and I won’t be looking at her =P.

  • Trina

    The song he did tonight was called “Souvenir” and it’s a song that was recorded for the current album but didn’t make the cut.

    LOL sma11ie I watched Disturbia the other day when we learned she was the love interest. I agree her posture was weird, but damn she’s smokin! I have a hunch he wasn’t thinking about her posture during the filming :laugh_tb: I wonder how many takes they had to do? Have I mentioned she’s a lucky bitch?

  • sunchick

    I think ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s quite important for us to examine, um, his technique.

    :lol_tb: Screem kissing is an art form all it’s own, tis true. There are some really good actors who are horrible screen kissers. I am especially adverse to the detach jaw and swallow whole approach. Dave…don’t detach jaw and attempt to swallow actress whole. But I’m sure you knew that.

    I am so loving the stylist for this video. I seriously don’t think he’s ever looked hotter. The all black thing is so workin for me.

  • http://myspace.com/pm68 Pam

    Heck, nothing will distract me from the pretty. Nope. :P

    Daveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t detach jaw and attempt to swallow actress whole.

    sunchick, there are absolutely no words to describe that….Priceless

    :lol_tb:

  • hardkandy

    I wish he had a better leading lady. I really don’t like this girl. Hated her in Disturbia – such a butterface and a horrible actress.

  • justic

    he looks absolutely great.
    she’s got the Gwyneth Paltrow look which I actully hate.
    if only the song wasn’t so hideous :sick_ee:
    his singles are a total train wreck :wallbash_tb:

  • sassypants

    He is delicious….

  • Lisa

    Eh. Kenny Chesney is bald under his cowboy hat. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d still hit that

    OMG choked on my tea! LMAO!!!! Winner!

  • jumpstart

    Thanks for the pictures MJ. I can’t wait for this video!

    CBTM is absolutely gorgeous on the radio. Having the video to go along with it makes me positively giddy.

  • oceana

    I love that DC is changing up his set list every night and adding more songs to his repertoire. I swear he has enough material to release two more cds right this minute. If only he could, more for us. :)

  • mac

    I swear he has enough material to release two more cds right this minute. If only he could, more for us.

    I agree. Some of the songs should be released on iTunes. Us fans have already bought the current album, and I think that we would buy additional songs if they were placed on iTunes. I wonder why labels don’t do that? It seems like it would keep the momentum going with fans, plus draw new fans into his material and then perhaps buy his album. I know Archie fans were also wanting additional songs released. What would be the harm? It would be more money for the labels. It probably wouldn’t cost much to put a song digitally only out on iTunes. Unless they are afraid it would distract from any current singles?

    Personally, I would like to see them put out a studio version of a “new” past idol song along with the studio versions of the current AI contestants. Maybe feature one each week. Maybe the week that Cook is visiting AI, then put out an un-released song out on iTunes that week (for example Anodyne)….when Archie visits, put out one of the songs that didn’t make his album (for example zero gravity). I love seeing things from past idols. I think featuring one each week on the results show has really been a big improvement of the show this season. Featuring one each week on iTunes would also be cool in my opinion.

  • Laurie

    Those photos of David are gorgeous. The video should be great! I don’t know very much about her, but she is one lucky girl. I personally think David has very sexy, cool looking hair. But in response to the “bald” comment – His face is so handsome it wouldn’t matter if he were bald. Anyway, for me it’s all about the VOICE, at least that’s what I keep telling myself!

  • oceana

    Maybe he’ll put out an EP or a deluxe cd before too long. Some of the bonus songs on the cd could be included.

    He could re-record and re-release the Analog Heart 1&2 materials.

    I think they have a lot coming down the pike eventually. And I look forward to it.

  • yeahyeahsure

    Am I the only one who noticed this?! Cook is playing the piano in the video. Archie is playing the guitar in his videos. What’s with the switch LOL?! :lol_tb:

  • sunchick

    Actualllly, I’m pretty sure you *are* the only one, yeahyeahsuresure. :smile1_ee: This is the first pic of Cook behind a piano. ANd I am not familiar with any of Archuleta’s vids, but somehow I doubt he’s rocking a Les Paul on his hip like Cookie in LO. Not getting a switcheroo vibe there.

  • shell29

    :mellow_tb:

  • yeahyeahsure

    LOL I thought it was just cool and kinda funny since both are known at playing the other instruments on AI. It wasn’t meant as a dig or anything. It was just a fun observation. :smiley2_tb:

  • ShariG

    There is a great picture of David Cook behind a piano in a gray kind of suit from American Idol, too. He is kind of looking over his shoulder in that one. I don’t know if he plays piano or not, but considering his incredible musical ability I wouldn’t be surprised. Same with Archie and the guitar. Lots of musicians play multiple instruments. (Brooke White, Andy Skib, etc., etc.) Really nice pictures. I love the one almost full length in the woodsy background. Can’t wait for the video.

  • weareallinnocent

    ^^I remember that pic ShariG. It was a good one, pre-haircut and all. :-) Anywho, on the switcharoo, if we’re talking it’s unusual to see Cook behind a piano, just as Archie looked odd strumming the guitar in his Crush video. Yeah, yeah, sure, I get that. LOL I’m not sure if either plays the other instrument, to be honest. But, I do know Cook looks hot to me either way. :-)
