Like Kelly Clarkson before him, the world premiere of David Cook’s video for his next single, “Come Back to Me” will happen at a commercial break during the Top 9 Idol results show on April 1.

If that isn’t enough Cookie goodness for you, the performance of “Come Back To Me” David taped at last Wednesday’s Idol will also air during the results show.

A 30-second clip of the video will be previewed during a commercial break, immediately after it airs, Idol sponsor AT&T will offer exclusive 24-hour access to the entire video directly from customer’s mobile phones, online, or from their home television.

Here’s how you can watch

  • AT&T wireless customers can get a link to watch the full-length video on their mobile phones via AT&T CV by texting “COOK” to “8008.”
  • AT&T U-verse(SM) TV customers can access the video through their Video On Demand (VOD) menu in the Featured category or in the Music section of the Free On Demand category.
  • All fans can watch the video online at www.music.att.net .

Not that you’ll need the deets.   Kelly fans found the link to the “My Life Would Suck Without You” video ahead of it’s premiere–copies were instantly uploaded all over the internet well ahead of its American Idol debut. So good chance David’s video will leak too.

Send me links, people! Heh.

Performing alongside David on Wednesday (metaphorically speaking, of course) will be Lady Gaga, singing her hit “Poker Face.”

“Come Back to Me” will be released to radio April 6.

    Thanks so much for the information, MJ. I was just searching the web to see what was happening with the release. Looking forward to the video and the performance next week.

  • kimberann

    I bet this next single rules the charts. :happy_tb:

  • Trina

    I hope we don’t crash AT&T site. We broke DCO the day LO premiered :laugh_tb:

    eta: This is on All Access’ site

    David Cook
    Come Back To Me
    RCA/RMG

    With two hit records already under his belt, David Cook is back with another new single that is guaranteed to get a huge response from his legion of fans! Be sure to watch his appearance on American Idol on Tuesday (4/1). Impacting now!!

  • NYCSlain

    Y’know, I think Come Back to Me is a MUCH better song than Light On. It should’ve been the first single.

  • cheese

    I’m happy to see single #2 getting decent promotion. I still can’t believe LO even got to #20 on CHR. Hopefully this song can at least do that well or slightly better.

  • CathyMK

    Can’t wait for the performance and the video. We need a leak now!!

  • cookcricket

    Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • kimberann

    Hopefully this song continues to get the promo it deserves.

  • http://archulove.wordpress.com vickyvicks0

    OMG LADY GAGA?…. :clap_tb:
    yay!! at least half of the result show will be good!

  • http://myspace.com/pm68 Pam

    I don’t know if I’m going to be able to handle seeing the AI performance next week, the preview of the vid and then seeing him in concert here the next day. I’m thinking this is just too much for me to handle that after the concert I may just plode. :laugh_tb:

  • BootStar

    I just heard “Come Back To Me” while I was at dinner at an Applebee’s in suburban Philly. I heard “Light On” at the same restaurant shortly after it was released last fall, well before it was getting a lot of radio play. I don’t know if it was Sirius or what, but it had a nice mix of stuff.

    Is Lady Gaga performing live?

  • elisad

    Will it leak like Kelly’s video did, please?

  • Jolene

    Thanks for compiling all the info, MJ. I’ll be sure to check it out online through the site (if it won’t leak ahead of time, of course).
    Does anyone know if that site is restricted to US users only, though? I remember all hell breaking loose when LO premiered on a site that was only open for US viewing (DCO only had the link).

    Anyway, I like this rollout better. Hey, if it’s good enough for Kelly…

  • http://everyopinion.blogspot.com Terrie

    Yep. Adam Lambert is definitely TCO.

    1. The judges are de-pimping Danny Gokey.

    2. Simon scolded him after RoF to remind him of the rules o’ the game and Adam responded smartly this week as Simon intended.

    3. Glam rocker Lady GaGa is performing on AI next week.

    TCO has never been my top favorite since Kelly became TCO after Tamyra Gray was eliminated during top 4 week of season one — unless you count the audition weeks before the AI6 contest started when Chris Sligh was the early TCO.

    I hope TIIC don’t ruin it for me, but I know they can’t seem to help themselves.

  • elisad

    Does anyone know if that site is restricted to US users only, though?

    Uh…yeah…does anyone know?

    Yeah Adam is TCO. I changed my pool to him the week Randy gave him the “if you put out a record right now it will shoot to no1″ praise.

  • Jolene

    Just heard CBTM on the radio for the 1st time. It sounded really good.
    I don’t know what it is, but this is the best the song has ever sounded to me.

    I wonder if they did a radio edit or it’s just the happiness of hearing it somewhere that isn’t my iPod.

    :thumbup_tb:

  • Michelle

    Just heard CBTM on the radio for the 1st time. It sounded really good.

    Me too, and yes it did!! Hope it becomes a hit and plays all the time.

  • cookcricket

    Awww, I wanna hear it!!! I’m so excited about this next single. Go DC!!!!

    Jolene – I heard it tonight too on the San Diego station (Sophie’s Challenge) and I think the station pitched the tempo up a percent or two. I didn’t time it, but it sounded just slightly faster and I agree that it worked really well for the song. I’m going to try to catch it and time it the next time they do the challenge (Monday night I think?) to see for sure. But Sophie is an HAC station, so I’m sure if they are speeding it up then a lot of CHR stations will as well.

  • Michelle

    cookcricket, the station streams online so assuming it wins tonight’s challenge you can catch it when they play it again Monday betw 9-10pm pacific time.

  • Trina

    He sang Livin’ On a Prayer tonight!!

    Damn I think I have something in my eye. Ah memories :wub_tb:

  • sunchick

    I have never been so happy to be an iPhone customer. AT&T Cookie crumb exclusives FTMFW!

    Dammit, Cook. This song is growing on me now, even after I bitched up and down when it was chosen as the new single. I imagine I’ll be a complete sucker by the time I get to the end of the screen kiss, err, video.

    I just heard à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Come Back To Meà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  while I was at dinner at an Applebeeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s in suburban Philly.

    I hear LO all the time at Ruby Tuesdays. CBTM can’t be far behind….

  • Jolene

    He sang Livinà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ On a Prayer tonight!!
    Damn I think I have something in my eye.

    Oh wow. I didn’t even know how much I missed this.
    That was truly lovely.

    Cannot state enough how happy I am that he keeps changing up the setlist. Never a dull moment, never the same show twice.

  • AnoopFan

    OMG!!! Is it Wednesday yet?! Im going to need alot of tissues for that night! *happy tears*

    DFC also mentions that he is in talks to come back for the finale. HE BETTER

  • cookcricket

    Wow, I can go to bed happy tonight!!!

    1) I was able to hear a partial of CBTM (um, I agree with the initial/current reaction sunchick had above ^^^.), thanks Michelle, I’ll try again Monday night too!!!! I voted! LOL!

    2) I heard/watched LOAP!!!! Thanks Trina!!! He looked good tonight!

    3) I was even able to giggle a little at Norman Gentle from a new thread here on mj’s. Thanks mj! I lurve that DC thought NG was funny too!

  • AnoopFan

    He sang Livinà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ On a Prayer tonight!!

    Yum, he is so beautiful!

  • CRB

    David’s hair is getting perilously close to the something-took-a-dump-on-my-head comb over that made him look so ridiculous prior to his Idol metamorphosis.

  • Michelle

    Wow Pam, that’s an awesome week you have shaping up there :D

  • AnoopFan

    Davidà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hair is getting perilously close to the something-took-a-dump-on-my-head comb over that made him look so ridiculous prior to his Idol metamorphosis.

    I think it looks perfect. The man can do no wrong.

  • Ashley19

    YAY!!! I can’t wait for this performance.. :surprise_ee:

  • Layla

    David *sigh*
    I flove Adam, but DC is just so effin ¨’ special to me. Him and his music…can ¨’t get enough. Can ¨’t wait to see the vids MJ puts up, but better yet, 3 weeks later and that episode will air here and I can see him on my big ass TV screen.

  • sunchick

    For the record, if we’re talking the ever evolving do o’ Cook, I like the longish hair he’s sportin now. I was one of the few people who thought the Little Sparrow makeover went a bit too far in the other direction. This one is a happy medium between grunge David and button downed GQ David.

    And for all those who were a bit concerned after seeing that Permanent vid, here’s David soaking up the love last night during We’re Only Honest When We’re Sleeping. It makes my heart happy. (Don’t tell people I’m such a ridiculous sap, okay? I have a rep to protect…)

  • Jolene

    hereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s David soaking up the love last night during Weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re Only Honest When Weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re Sleeping.

    Oh, that was just joyful. The look on his face in the end there was just so fun to see. Thank you for bringing this over sunchick!

    PS – Loving the look. I have to admit I was starting to get sick of the plaid. LOL

  • Dr. Tracey

    Oh God, i’m gonna melt right off the sofa, I know it.
    Can’t freakin’ wait!

  • Layla

    Wednesday can’t come fast enough.

  • gingerly

    Honestly, this man sings to my soul like nobody else before. I feel and flove his every nuance. That.is.all.

  • leome

    Yeah, I trust our US fans to find a way to make it available for everyone.
    How did it work with Kelly’s video? I don’t remember well how long till it was on Itunes.
    Anyway, I’ve listened to the song on our national radio, it was awesome.

    LOAP was great,btw and so was We’re Only Honest…

  • EmmaJK

    Is it Wednesday yet? I talked my husband into buying a DVR (we still have a VCR, oh yes we do). Just have to get it hooked up by 4/1.

    Thanks for LOAP. Woah. And Honest. Those last 10 seconds are beeyootiful.

    Here’s Straight Ahead from last night. Apart from just looking really good, he seems (the whole band does really) incredibly intense during this one. And it sounded like people were singing along – to a pre-Idol song. He must be loving that.

    Um, is it Wednesday YET??

  • tinawina

    Davidà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hair is getting perilously close to the something-took-a-dump-on-my-head comb over that made him look so ridiculous prior to his Idol metamorphosis.

    Ha! I’m actually agreeing with this. It’s not all the way there yet, but he’s getting closer every day. As someone who was not a fan of the greasy comb-over, some hair-inclined member of the entourage needs to get on that stat. okthnxbyebye.

    Man, those concert videos are awesome. Dude can still sssaaaanng his ass off!

  • Victoria

    I’m pretty sure this results is going to redeem all the cheese-filled others ones this season. We get Cook AND GaGa in the same night? (Well, a pre-taped Cook but still.) This may be the best idea Ken Warwick has had this season. Or ever. He doesn’t have a great track record.

  • EmmaJK

    Can I just say that I don’t care what his hair looks like? Maybe that’s why he wears the hat so much. He gets gripes when he does wear it, and when he takes it off, there are more gripes about what his hair looks like. Eh. I’ll take you just the way you are.

    Those vids from last night make me smile because wow… it seems like he’s back from whatever dark place he was in. Smiling, energetic, intense… smiling. And the vest and tie? Oh, yum.

  • lavender1960

    Whoever said it was right, the result show is becoming more interesting than the performance show.

    I thought they were going to cut back to half an hour but they are getting some good talent, bring back an old Idol with something to promote and then a big name with a hit to promote, good formula. The hour now seems to whiz by as fast as the old half hour shows. Just no Jonas Brothers please.

    Good on ya Simons.

  • leome

    Oh, this is interesting (it’s not video related but David related).
    A couple of days ago he was wearing this shirt.
    It has a latin text that says Adeodatus exclamavit in planctu atque ab omnibus nobis coercitus tacuit. hoc modo etiam meum quiddam puerile.
    That’s from Augustinus and it means But, as soon as she breathed her last the boy Adeodatus burst out into wailing, but, being checked by us all, he became quiet. In like manner also my own childish feeling, which was, through the youthful voice of my heart, finding escape in tears, was restrained and silenced.

    I don’t think it’s a coincidence. An emotional boy beeing silenced by others…
    I think David’s passing a message.

    Btw, I didn’t find the quote and translations, gotta give credit to others in the fandom.

  • dcisluv

    I can’t wait to see his first onscreen kiss.

    I flove his mouth. Can’t help it.

  • sunchick

    But, as soon as she breathed her last the boy Adeodatus burst out into wailing, but, being checked by us all, he became quiet. In like manner also my own childish feeling, which was, through the youthful voice of my heart, finding escape in tears, was restrained and silenced.

    Oh dear. That particular passage talks about mourning. There was the shirt with the unicorn recently too. And this might make me the tardiest tard that ever tarded, but that Straight Ahead performance was rather intense, like he was soaking it all in and savoring it because…I dunno, like committing it all to memory or something. It seemed cathartic. Yeah, now I’m concerned. :down_tb:

  • hypertwink

    He cancelled some of his dates just now. Something’s up. :mellow_tb:

  • sunchick

    Oh damn. He’s got such an infamously insane work ethic that this has got to be an outta his hands kind of situation. (((David))) :sad_tb:

  • Michelle

    ahhh david…my thoughts are with him. but yeah I’m thinking something’s up too :(

  • Cakenbake

    I hope everything is ok with David, what ever it is our prayers are with him.

  • Thea

    Anyone have an idea what’s going on with him? I hope it’s not the worst.

    I have two questions for you lucky ones who got to go to his concerts:
    1) how sold out have they been so far? and
    2) what’s the women/men ratio in there?

    Just asking because I really hope the tour’s going well but it’s hard to get objective info. Also, I hope the public is not made up only of us crazy girl fans, because to be up there for the long term he needs to break into the general rock public.

    Thanks!

  • EmmaJK

    Thea,

    David’s shows have all been sell-outs so far, and have usually been selling out within hours (even minutes) of tickets going on sale.

    Not sure of exact ratio of men to women, but certainly have been mostly of the female type :) Although, from pictures and videos, it does look like there are plenty of men; even at the student only venues, you can see plenty of young men in the audience.
