Image Credit: Brian To/FilmMagic.comGood news for tennis fans who like a little side of beautiful music to go with their high-stakes matches: American Idol season 7 champ David Cook has been booked to perform “America the Beautiful” at the 2010 U.S. Open men’s finals on Sept. 12, EW has learned exclusively. Cook’s performance will be included during CBS’ coverage of the event*. Now hopefully, Novak Djokovic can take home this year’s U.S. Open crown, and complete my fantasy day of music and sporting awesomeness. Who else is completely stoked about this news? And can anyone tell me if it’s possible to program my DVR this far in advance? Sound off in the comments!
*Because, c’mon, failure to do so would have to result in an FCC fine or something, right?
I can’t wait to hear David sing this song. I don’t think he has ever sung it before. I know his SSB is beautiful.
YAAAAAYYY!!!! David Cook singing what I believe should be the National Anthem and ….oh yeah ..tennis.
Yaaaayyyy!!! David Cook singing what I believe should be the National Anthem and oh yeah tennis.
Sorry about the double post.
Weeee! I LOVE HIM. <3
Lost all respect for you since your a Djokovic fan! Federer all the way! Also hoping for an Andy Roddick comeback!
Eh, I don’t know about Roddick, but ANYONE but Djokovic.
THANK YOU! I was like what!?!?!?! Why would you want Novak “Give Up If I Sneeze” Djokovic to win? Roddick all the way.
Agree! Go Andy!
So, you’re Roddick’s last fan…
Nope, I’m a A-Rod fan too. Go, RODDICK!
Nope, I’m an A-Rod fan too. Go RODDICK!
That makes three of us. Go A-Rod! (And D-Cook!)
Don’t hold your breath guys… Rafa will take this one
sweet! will tune in.
ps: david cook looks sooo goood in that photo…
Yes he DOES doesn’t he?? yum
Me, I’m completely stoked!
I don’t watch tennis, but I will watch it for DC!!!
I am so excited for this cannot wait. You are always so nice to David Cook & his fans. Shows that you area true gentleman. I too wish I could program my DVR this far in advance.
This is an odd but happy collision of my fannish pursuits. And wouldn’t have guessed you’d be rooting for Djokovic (though I like the guy too.)
Can’t wait! Great picture choice.
Yeah… it brightened my morning.
Yes it will be great. He will nail it and make it even more beautiful!
Yes!! This is perfect, what a great idea.
Gotta agree with meleegi. I am sure David will nail ATB. Maybe Randy’s “you can sing the phonebook” was his best comment ever to David.
Hooray, another Djokovic fan! Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one in this country who wants to see him win. I’m also rooting for Roddick.
Oh yeah, David Cook will be awesome too!
Yay! What a great choice, USOpen and CBS, or whomever is responsible!
And never have picked you for a Nole fan, Mike. Specially since a sartorial-centric man as yourself, shirtwise, can’t possibly love that new neon yellow shirt he’s been sporting on court for the past few weeks. Sorry, have to go with Federer at the final! (Pink/khaki combo wins).
Would love to see david cook rock the Tennis finals.
And I’m gonna be there. Can’t wait who will take the crown.
Crossing my fingers for Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal.
Novac is okay fo me too.
