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 for the first time, what kind of instruments he’s been learning to play and which groups influenced him when he put together his own band. It’s a fun interview, check it out!

David Cook Talks to Larry King About Brother, Fame

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 for a show as an relatively unknown person and then compete on a program only to emerge as a bona fide rock star when it’s all over. Can you imagine what that’s like? He’s got a lot of touring ahead of him in the months to come.

David Cook Weighs In On Allen vs. Lambert

In a very short video, American Idol season 7 winner, David Cook, talked a bit about this year’s finalists, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. I get the impression that David realizes that Adam likely has the upper-hand in this battle and he said that, in order to be in the running, Kris needs to really focus on putting his own signature on the songs he performs. I think that, going into the finale last year, many felt that David Archuleta was a shoo-in but Cook really was a dark horse for most of the competition and then he just came surging towards the finish line. I am trying to remain objective. It’s possible that Kris stands a real chance.

He also said that he and Kimberly Caldwell remain good friends but then the interviewer said that she heard he was asking for Bikini Girl’s phone number and he told her that it’s dangerous to spread rumors like that. No kidding! Bikini Girl might take that seriously and show up on his doorstep!
