I think David Cook is the best idol ever and he will be around for a long time to come. He deserved to win and everyone will see that as time goes on. Not only is he talented but so humble, kind, considerate and passionate about people and what he does.
There is no need to bash anyone, this is America and we are all different with different tastes, so as David says in one of his songs, be who you want to be, however, don't expect everyone to be you or think the way you do.
I love you David Cook

"TURNED OFF Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 08:32 PM EST

I don't think he will make it big in the music industry. He is just SMUG, COCKY AND ARROGANT that kind personality alone will not last in this business. During AI Tour one of the fans was asking him where is this Idol individual and he gave him an attitude and there was an article also in National Inquirer that he went shopping for jeans and he won't let the sales lady close the door of fitting room for he want to show off his bods - customer say something they were just so gross out."

I still LOL when I read this kind of CRAP! You really have no idea of what kind of person he is. Modesty is a big deal for him, and you are getting your info from a tabloid. Nice. Try actually talking to him. Listening to the music or lyrics. It says a lot.

I find it sad that people base their oppinions off of hearsay, and what they don't know. PItty.

Re: Rabid Archie Fans Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 05:12 PM EST

Every time I get on a "David Cook" site or see a "David Cook" video or read an article about "David Cook" whom I adore.Follows a beating from Archeletta rabid fans, they are mean and nasty and are STILL upset because their guy didn't win.
I wish they would just move on and leave Cook for us to enjoy.
I dont care for Archies music I didnt vote for him and I could care less about him. Why can't his fans leave us alone!

CookVoter Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 05:56 PM EST

Yes, us Cook Fans do not bash Archie because the two Davids are very good friends and respect one another. Archie would be mortified to read some of this childish nonsense being written about his "big brother" David Cook. That is how Archie refers to DC. Shame on all of you for taking out your frustrations on someone you don't even know! The two Davids are from completely different genres of music. David Cook is also a songwriter as well as a performer of musical theater. The additional talents that David Cook has over the other contestants garnered him many more votes. Sore losers need to get a life...the competition ended in May!

TURNED OFF Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 08:32 PM EST

The same writer Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 08:22 PM EST

I remember this is the same writer who dished David Archuleta during American Idol Days but Archie still gave him the opportunity to interviewed him. Archie remain professional and unaffected through out the entire interview despite of everything and the interview went so great as a matter a fact and this writer got completely off guard when he found out that Archie was very nice and very gentelman. I believe to recompensed for what he did he gave David Archuleta a good review on his single: CRUSH. He is one of E.W. machine who always OVER-SELL DAVID COOK. I hope Archie won't give him another opportunity to be interviewed for I don't like this person. There is something in Mr. Slezak that questionable you can just see through his aura. I will leave it all up to you.

we all should save our rude comments aleast the Davids (DA DC) are getting to do what they love and having fun...how many of us get to do that enjoy life and enjoy them enjoying their life...it's a waste of time leaving rude comments about two people who we be sucessful any direction their lives take. SIT DOWN RELAX AND ENJOY THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE

ssw Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 10:37 AM EST

come on people live as one.no need to disrespect the davids you are the only one who are making a fuss.both going to do well. i am a fan of cook but i dont have to say nothing bad about archie.one love people.

sdff Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 01:12 AM EST

guys, dont listen to Denim and other cook bashers, Both Cook and Archie are awesome. We will be seeing them a lot in the future, BOTH of them are talented and they both deserve success. Good luck to both davids

Denim Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 10:30 PM EST

Wow, lots of Cook bashers here, First of all, Cook will do a fantastic job in his Album, it wont be a lame Backstreet Boy type of album, seriously archie fans, all archie can do is sings in one/single key all the time, and laughs for minor reasons, he is an overrated moron. Seriously, find a worthy idol/role model, a good role model needs to have a mind of his own, like David Cook here, Archie is retarded, only the producers and his father control him, he is a robot. Archie will end up as a disney channel singer, or a cruise ship singer, he is a no talent loser anyway, and I DONT REGRET ANY WHAT I'VE JUST SAID.

Cook will be successful

Archie is useless.

cougarslovecook Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 01:37 AM EST

I LOVE Idolatry & Michael is a genius! How cute is David Cook??? Cute enough to make me feel like I am a kid again and in LOVE for the first time. Crazy enough to start a fansite at 50+ years old! Come share the COUGAR obsession at www.cougarslovecook.com for all the latest David Cook news, videos, photos, forum & store

Brenda Robertson Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 10:56 AM EST

Listen up everyone, I have noticed by reading all the comments that most of David Cook's fans are considerate and kind toward DA and his fans. For the MOST PART, they don't leave rude and unkind remarks about DA and his fans. On the other hand, David Archuleta's fans FOR THE MOST PART, are condescending. They leave horrible, atrocious, upsetting, horrendous, rude, uncouth, offensive, boorish, disrespectful, obnoxious and
inconsiderate remarks not only about DC, but his fans as well. This tells me something about the kind of fans each David attracts. I think everyone needs to keep their opinions to themselves unless they are kind. If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all. This country needs to have love for each other. We have enough people in the world that hate us as a whole, and it is no wonder why.

Sandy Moran Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 10:44 AM EST

Frank, Frank, so sad and bitter. your jealousy. Was someone you love bitten by the DC bug?

Cujo Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 09:25 AM EST

I don't know David personally, but I feel like I know him because he really puts a lot of himself out there for us fans. For those people that don't like DC that's your opinion. My opinion is that I love DC's music and I will buy any CD that David Cook puts out. If you like Archie buy his CD. He also has a lot of talent, but probably not a genre I would listen to. Strictly my opinion! The whole idea of American Idol is to find people who have talent and give them a push in the right direction. The whole David vs. David thing is just stupid. They both have great respect for one another and we don't see them bashing each other. They are both extremely talented and it just come down to the majority of the voting chose David Cook. DC shows us he is a real human being and we share the same dream of having washboard abs. I bought slim in six, but guess they meant six weeks. (been in the package six years!) Anywho, Rock on DC!!!

Too Frickin Old DARN IT! Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 01:15 AM EST

Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 10:25 AM EST

Deborah Woodin I can so identify with you. Although my favorites were "Always Be My Baby" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". The first because he seemed truly vulnerable and so family oriented.The latter because he seemed to be singing to his mom and all Cougars could identify. This is my favorite interview so far. Still checking daily for sight or sound of David. Read he will be on Leno Thurs. and The View Tues. I'll be watching for sure!

Mandie Callahan Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 04:54 PM EST

David Cook is sooooooooo cool. He is the 2nd best american idolist. Kely Clarkson is the first though. But anyway,, he is so awesome B-}

supermart Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 04:52 PM EST

"Little D has just signed on with the same label as this year's AI winner, David Cook (aka Big D), 19 Recordings/Jive Records. “Signing a record contract with 19 Recordings/Jive Records is truly a dream come true,” Little D said in a statement. “I’m really excited to start working on everything.”........ So guys both David's signed a record contract. Would you please, stop fighting?

Sheila Sat, Jun 7, 2008 at 01:18 PM EST

David is a doll. He is so articulate and tactful. I think he will be around for a long time.

Say whatever, but I believe David Cook will be around long after the year is over. I am a fan of Cook's, just as well as Daughtry and although neither one is hard to look at, its in my car where I will enjoy them the most.

Thu, Jun 5, 2008 at 10:23 AM EST

Pete Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 08:30 PM EST

Garth, 44 years is a really long time to be in the closet, it's great that you decided to come out but you might not want to confess your love to Cook so openly, he doesn't really like the idea of the cougars so I'm not sure he's going to be cool with some guy crushing on him either. It's pretty clear that he thinks his fans are freaks and he wants to steer clear of them at all times.

Brokencookie Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 08:17 PM EST

Wow, David Cook has got to be the most over rated contestant since Taylor Hicks. Another mediocre and slightly dumpy guy that everyone insisted was wildly talented and hot. So hot they even compared him to George Clooney. LMAO! It's amazing that reality TV can warp some people's minds in such a short period of time. Luckily these delusional thoughts will gradually fade away now that the show has ended and everyone must return to reality. Hopefully David Cook still has that bartender degree, cause he may have to put it to use again after this years over. Mediocrity is easily replaceable in the real world, and unfortunately the reality tv season has already ended. Maybe Taylor Hicks could give him some advice on how to handle the inevitable fall out.

cookie Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 10:41 PM EST

You know what? You guys are really starting to freak me out. He's just a guy that you people don't really know. so calm down! OMG Squirrelly is starting to freak me out. But don't get me wrong, I love David Cook! I'm just not stalking him and I don't have a huge crazy obsession with him. At least, not that much. Heh.

GARTH Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 06:54 PM EST

This guy is the REAL deal! I'm a 44 Year old guy that's not afraid to say, 'LOVE YOU, MAN!!"

PicChick Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 05:00 PM EST

David Cook is my middle child's age. My favorite video is when he was singing First time Ever I Saw Your Face .. the shot of his beautiful and very proud mother watching him...just made me tear up with joy. What a proud moment..I a sure there were many but that one just got to me.
I also love the way David articulates. A lot of rockers yell a lot and you can't understand what the lyrics are at all. David Cook will go a long way if he doesn't let all this sudden fame get to him. I can't wait to hear what he writes.

A1Squirrelly_girl Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 11:03 AM EST

A1Squirrelly_girl Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 11:00 AM EST

BTW, David Cook, I like you clean shaven best. I'll still take you with the beard, though. Squirrelly LOVES DC!

A1Squirrelly_girl Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 10:57 AM EST

Sorry, David, I just had to say it again! I love DC! Gosh, I'm a melting Cookie, every time I look at his picture, hear his voice, or think of him (I think of him way too much). Cookiefie ME, David! If I can't have you, at least I can have your music (sigh). Please put out more cookiefied covers of rock songs...BTW--I LOVED "Dare You To Move," AND when are you going to release "All I Really Need Is You"? You should get with Neil Diamond on writing music, David. "I'm Alive" is hot, too! Growl for just me on "Hungry Like The Wolf," David! I want to smell you, too!

A1Squirrelly_girl Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 10:53 AM EST

I knew when I first heard David Cook that he would sell a lot of albums. I knew DC was going to win AI, too. I stayed up for 4 hours and voted for him even though I had to get up early next day for work. He is worth it. I hope DC stays a nice guy since he won AI. I enjoy his cheesy acts on "The Best Week Ever," and he was halarious. I have a huge crush on DC, wish he wasn't dating Kimberly C. Don't like her. Don't think she is very smart, and I hate her voice (sounds like Joan Rivers). She sounds like she's yelling at me when I try to watch her on tv. Gosh, David, if you were smart you would date a cougar. We have life experience and are not afraid to enjoy every little part of you...(smile)

Sharry Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 10:07 AM EST

I can't stand these people insulting David Cook! He is the best Idol Winner since Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood! He is has the talent and the intelligence to go very far!

As for Ms. Caldwell, he will soon tire of her. Men unfortunately have to travel this road of going for the wrong ones before they realize what is right in a woman. He is only 25 and men are taught to be so shallow no matter what. David can overcome this because he has a brain. Unfortunately, so many other men do not.

cookiecrumbles Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 10:23 PM EST

Braziliancookie, hate to break this to you but since you obviously don't pay attention Kelly Clarkson from season 1 has already achieved that honor along time ago and she's not the only one that's known world wide. You're giving him credit for something previous Idols have already attained in their careers, it's no wonder people think Cook's over rated.

Michelle Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM EST

David Cook asking Kim Caldwell out shows his stupidity when it comes to relationships. As for his musicianship, I think he is brilliant. He can do so much better than Caldwell. She is nothing more than a D list former idol, with a former DUI arrest. She is loud and obnoxious and loves the spotlight. Total image incompatibility who fans consider highly intelligent. She doesn't represent him well. His association with her makes him look bad.

cookie Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 07:11 PM EST

DC was great and so was DA so I think that people should stop arguing and go outside and live their lives.

braziliancookie Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 02:41 PM EST

Loved the interview, finally new questions. About the haters, please don't waste your time on what you really don't like. David Cook is great and, for the first time ever, an american idol became a worldwide idol.That speaks for itself.

JB Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 01:53 PM EST

Mary-I heard, but didn't see, that he asked Kimberly Caldwell out on air. If thats true, I would call that calculating and attention-grabbing not shy and sincere.

ptnyc34 Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 11:29 AM EST

dcook#1, I did watch the show and am not the least bit naive, but it seems maybe you are or perhaps you just can't handle hearing someone's point of view that is different from yours. Regardless I stand by my comment. The only one who should be rethinking their comment is you. After all you used your rebuttal to insult little David Archuleta. I didn't mention the kid in my comment yet you took the opportunity to insult him. That's rather hypocritical of you to openly make such comments about little David after you just chastised me for my comment. It seems Cook's fans find it acceptable to insult the other contestants for no reason, now that's truly pathetic.

Frank Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 10:34 AM EST

David Cook temporarily filling the void in some lonely housewives lives until something better comes along. On the bright side, they have set the standards very low so he won't last very long. Let's face it, even Taylor Hicks pulled off a #1 debut single on bill boards hot 100. Cook couldn't even manage pulling that much off. That's pretty pathetic. With out a doubt he's the most over rated contestant this show has ever had.

Shereeda Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 07:47 AM EST

btw ..Highland David is a COLLEGE GRADUATE with degree in Graphics Design.. he IS smart and remarkably articulate... so bug off

Shereeda Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 07:46 AM EST

But i love the show.And i also think a person should be allowed 1 vote per.person each night.I like the honest comments from Simon,he is also very sexy.Both Davids are good / imagine how good David A. will be when he is as old as David Cook.( lol )Carla was great,keep it going girl.I'm just a 60yr.old hillbilly here in the mountains of Virginia.But i still like good talent.love all who makes the show go so well.

I am a fan of the other David. However, I think Cook has great personality that he capitalized on. I can understand the "big brother" label contestants gave him which I think is natural of him. You just have to observe him on stage with the other Idol aspirants to validate this. His appeal to middle aged women I guess was developed during his bartendering days. Great bar tenders have take charge personality and disarming charm. Traits that ensure success! On the issue of his singing however, that's a completely different story!

Well said, Sunflower, and anyone really paying attention would've picked up on everything you stated. I could tell he was shy by his Idol interviews and especially when he asked Kimberly out. Even callous Simon made it a point to "state publicly" that David was one of the nicest and most sincere contestants they've ever had. I just hope that he knows that America loves him and that he'll let the negativity roll off. Like he said, "Whether you're pleasing or pissing everyone off, you're doing something wrong." Keep doing what you're doing, David, because your true fans know who and what you are. God bless you and your family.

Charisma, pure and simple. He's saturated with it.
