According to E!, American Idol winner, David Cook, has said that he would like to get into acting while he was doing a CD signing a the Hard Rock Cafe at Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles.
"It’s another kind of way to be creative, so I’m very on board for that."  I think that it could actually work, to be honest.  I think that David is an intense person and he’s had a lot of life experience which totally comes out in his music.  I’m sure he could translate into something great on the big screen or television.  I hope he …read more

American Idol winners, David Cook and Kris Allen, along with last season’s runner-up, Adam Lambert, were on Good Morning America yesterday morning for the Summer Concert Series.  They sang together ( a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Little Lies”) and they sang individually.

Here’s their group performance of “Little Lies” but make sure you check out the clips of Kris, Adam, David and the their shared interview after the jump!

The seventh American Idol winner, David Cook, had a little time on his hands so he chose to go play golf with some of his friends.  He took up the sport since it was one of the things that his brother Adam loved.  Among his golf mates was Raine Maida, who is the frontman of Canadian band, Our Lady Peace (my husband’s favorite!).  He and Maida worked together on some songs and David credits him as one of his biggest influences.  I can see that!
This video is pretty entertaining – I always love to see celebrities just acting normal and …read more

Last year’s American Idol winner, David Cook, performed “Heroes” at the Home Run Derby (an event played prior to the MLB All-Star Game) earlier this week.  I was able to track down this video of him performing “Heroes” (sorry for the quality). 
/p>
Here’s the audio of an interview David gave before the performance.  He explained that he really loves baseball so he’s like a “kid in a candy store” with excitement over being able to be at the event.  He’s always so charming!  Check it out:

David Cook appeared on The Fuse’s No. 1 Countdown where he talked about his eclectic taste in music.  I also love music from all genres so I think that’s pretty cool.  He also mentioned how weird it was to see his own face all over iTunes after he won American Idol – I can’t even imagine how crazy that must have been.  He credits his father for encouraging him to play the guitar and for shaping David’s musical style. 
He also talks about a lot of different topics including what it was like when he moved out on his own …read more

Last year’s American Idol winner, David Cook, sang a version of “Billie Jean” while he was competing on the show and it was a huge hit.  I loved what he did with the classic song and I’m sure the fans on his tour were hoping he would perform it as a tribute to the late Michael Jackson. 
I saw this video on MJs Big Blog and it brought tears to my eyes.  David mentioned “Billie Jean” and the crowd went nuts with excitement but it was short lived – David said that he didn’t want to “half-ass it” since he …read more

American Idol season 7 winner, David Cook, sat down with CNN’s Larry King last night and he touched on a variety of topics.  Of course, Larry asked about the death of David’s brother, Adam, who recently died after a lengthy battle with brain cancer. 
Watch the video (can I just take a moment to complain about how CNN introduced the show’s guests?  Right after they mention Adam Cook, they bring up Heidi and Spencer Pratt which just felt cheap but I digress…)

David also talked about what it’s been like to suddenly become famous.  It’s got to be crazy to audition …read more

American Idol winner, David Cook, was on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night and I think he looked and sounded great.  He performed “Come Back To Me” from his debut album, David Cook, and the more I hear this song, the more I like it.  It’s kind of haunting, isn’t it?  He did seem a little bit tired to me (but still great).  Did you notice that?  Watch the performance:

Jimmy also spoke quickly to David after the performance.  Here’s the brief interview:

There were so many stars on the red carpet last night for the American Idol season 8 finale that I wouldn’t even dream of trying to list them here. 

Of course, there were the finalists, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, along with the rest of the Top 13 and judges but the celebrities (and former contestants) came out in droves to see who would win the singing competition. 

It looks like season four winner, Carrie Underwood, hurt her knee somehow since she’s got her “owie” all covered up with four Hello Kitty bandaids. She still managed to look absolutely …read more

Can you believe the eighth season of American Idol will be over tonight?  It started with a great recap of the best judges moments from this year which, of course, included some clips of Kara DioGuardi.  I never realized how much she said “sweetie!”  Too funny!
After they checked in with the hometowns of finalists, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, the Top 13 performed Pink’s hit song “So What?”  I am not sure why they picked this since I don’t think it works well as a group number.  It sounds kind of cheesy to be honest.  Kudos to Scott MacIntyre …read more
