I’m excited for David Cook. He has put out some great songs this season on AI, and I hope that they are released to the public for purchase. All of America has not had a chance to hear all of these songs. Now we all know the “cheesy” coronation song made it to #1, but David Cook has many more great rock-n-roll songs to share with all of us. “Billie Jean” and “The World I Know” should go up the charts to the top 5 in no time at all. I’m hoping they will release “Hello” and “All I Really Need Is You” so that the buying public can have an opportunity to also enjoy these greats! I said it before, and I’ll say it again, “David Cook will be greater than the Beatles.” All DC needs to do is record and perform. We all need our daily DC to get through the day. I was so addicted to his new songs every week on idol. By new songs, I mean the old rock ballads and love songs that DC Cookiefied into new songs with new meaning and sound. Keep it up David Cook, and your fans will support you. BTW, I’m just another Cougar for Cook (and I voted for all 4 hours that Tuesday for you, David)!! Nothing like a sweet talking, good looking, slick singing, intelligent, and “bossy” (I mean man “take control”) guy to turn on some older women. Way to go, Cook. If you want a true treat, try a lady with some life experiences for a change…Squirrelly is melting again!
