Sound Check: Former “Idol” champ David Cook feels different since then – “I’m just enjoying the (recording) process and trying different sounds, different instrumentation and working without parameters,” he says. “I want to experiment and go down roads I wouldn’t have been as comfortable with in the past. I’m definitely toying around with some (electronic) programming and using loops and playing keyboards live now. “If you’d told me I was going to do that two years ago I would’ve said you were nuts, but I’m loving it. And you don’t want to stay in the same place if you’re really an artist.” – Read more at The Morning Sun

Amber Riley’s Dancing With the Stars Blog: ‘Don’t Forget Your Dreams’ – We are doing the samba next week and so far, it’s really hard! It’s a lot of bouncing and it’s really quick and very energy driven, which I’m excited about because my cardio and my stamina have been getting a lot better. It’s going to be fun to push myself in this dance and see what I can do. I can’t believe we’re past the halfway mark! Week 6 is coming up and I can’t even imagine going home. But whether I get voted off or even if I win, both are going to be sad because I won’t be doing this every day anymore! I’m really enjoying the company of all the other dancers. This is the experience of a lifetime! – Read more at Parade
