I have david cook on my L.A binder for school, i have david cook pics..on my door and all over my room, i have one in my locker, i talk about him to my friends at school ALL the time, i talk about him to my family, I listen to his music 24/ 7 , i get on here like 5 times a day, i read everything he says on twitter, and i have the BIGGEST crush ever on him... ( #1 crush) So don't make me jealous! Lol!!!
Wishing you the best in the coming years . May you have continued success. Whether you know it or not you are bringing joy to thousandsssssss of people. Saw you perform in NJ and I truly enjoyed watching you perform and interact with the audience. May you never let success go to your head . Wishing health, happiness, success and love.
David was very down to earth and easy to talk to when we met him at the Delaware State Fair. He sang Happy Birthday to my niece. She and her sisters said it was literally the best two hours of their entire lives. David Cook, you are awesome!! You are engaging. A terrific entertainer. You connect with the audience. You lead your band. You have so much going for you in every way and we wish you best success. Always.
I just wanted to say thanks, I went to your concert in West Bend WI and it was awesome i had a blast. I loved how you interacted with the crowd and your sense of humor. It seemed like you were really enjoying yourself. Your cover of Hot For Teacher was amazing i hope you do more music like that in the future you seemed in your zone. So thank you, you made the road trip well worth it!
Hi David....love your music and I was a fan of yours the whole way through
Idol 7th season. I have
tickets to see your show on Monday 8/3/09 at Musikfest in Bethlehem. Is
there any way to get to meet
you and get an autograph on Monday? My daughter asked me to e-mail and
said usually when you
are a fan member they have opportunities like this. Thanks so much for
your great music and personality!
Also my condolences on the passing of your brother. I cry everytime I
hear Permanent. Being a breast
cancer survivor I can relate to this illness. I lost a grandfather and
Uncle to cancer and it's very hard to
see someone you love hurting so much. I was one of the lucky ones that it
was caught very very early
and I am 5 years in remission this year. My sisters and I walked in the
Susan G Komen 3 day walk in
Philly and it was an awesome experience. We raised $12,800 for this
organization I am so happy to have
done that. I wish this disease could be cured once and for all. I hate
seeing little children having to suffer
and it's just torture for the whole family. You feel so helpless:((
Thanks again for your special talent and
amazing voice! Love you and take care!! Rita
Hey, I am one of the two fans that tried to get an 84 page scrapbook we made to David at the San Diego show last month. We never heard from him or his people. Still wondering if our efforts paid off and he got to see it. Any ideas how we might find out, anyone?
When are why are you not coming to salt lake city, utah on this tour. You come to citys all around us. I think you and adam or allsion should sing together that would be really cool,
And by the way not everybody in salt lake city is an archuleta fan, I think you would do good in salt lake. Please come>
David went to your concert in Indianapolis, IN. You were great... You connect so great with your fans.
You sang great, you looked great. Loved the band, they seem to connect with you great. I loved the whole thing, drove 2 hours to get there, stood in the rain for over an hour to keep my place in line.. Very much worth it.
Keep it up David you are going all the way with your music... Don't ever change the way you come across to us.. It is real and we all love that about you..
Hi David, just wanted to let you know I will finally get to see you Aug 20 at the fair, so looking forward to it. Also to tell you I know what it feels like to lose someone very close to you, I lost my husband to Luekemia. I so enjoy your music and video's. God bless you David and I will contine to pray you find lots of fame and fun. Your "old" friend. Ann
I seen you last night in Indianapolis. You were wonderful. I'm the one who yelled "YOUR SEXY!!" haha. I seen that lil grin you do and it was all just so great. You are a great performer, the band was on point. My friend was diggin the drummer. We were to the left of the stage in the front by the speakers. You did such a great job, I am going to see you in Ohio on August 8th too. I'll be there in my "Is it me your looking for?" T'shirt. Last night was the best night EVER!!!!!!!!!! I love you and the guys GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

David and the guys,
You are amazing live! Hope you got the Central Michigan T-shirt ! It must be tough- so many people wanting your attention...
Tell Joey we said Hello! We met him after the show and got a cute pix of him. Looking forward to Allegan County. Will Need to Breathe still be opening for you?
Wish I could put this in a personal message to you.
Had to share with you that a patient of mine so kindly shared me a tip on where your home is so we found it last night. We don't want to share that info with too many people. Nice Place!!
Funny thing...you are just a few blocks from the dentist I work for so maybe there could be an inkling of hope we could be your happy dental home,too. Excellent Dentistry and I could be your hygienist. To protect everyone's privacy I am not giving out any names...just clues! You have got me Dreaming Big now!!
Then we will get you hooked up with a whole bunch of good people who will take good care of you...right here at home!!
There really is no place like home right here in KC!!

I just wanted to say that I may be a new member to this site, but I am certainly not a new fan!
I thoroughly enjoy, just like the millions of others, your songs and your cd's. I'm sure you've heard the same thing over and over again, but you are really talented to me.
I just saw you at Common Ground in Michigan and I was in awe at the quality of your performance. Sadly, this might be the only time (hopefully not!) that I can ever see you in concert!
Keep up with your work, and I know that God will bless you in even more ways than you can ever imagine!
Best wishes and thanks for being such an inspiration to me!
So, this comment has nothing to do with your most recent video, but I have a strong inclination to let you know, David, in some way what I want to say.
I just listened and watched your performance on the finale of this seasons American Idol...I wasn't able to watch it live due to no cable.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you a million times for bringing more awareness to brain cancer and to those and their families.
My mom passed away three years ago on her birthday from multiforme glioblastoma...I dont know what kind your brother had, but its brain cancer none the less.
I don't know your pain, but I know how it is to lose someone you love and even before seeing them suffer...fighting with all guns blazing.
You have a beautiful voice, you are an amazing person, and I feel that you have been the voice of the many of us out there that have been effected by such a horrible disease.
May God bless you! You are a one of a kind...not just saying that....you have an amazing gift and you understand how to utilize it.. you use your heart and it shows - its encouraging to see!
Just watched a video of the Allman Brothers doing their song 'Whipping Post' and would LOVE to see David and the band do it. The Dr would kill on the guitar and I would love to hear David do his version of the vocals. GREAT GREAT song....
David...............WOW! I finally got to see your show in Lansing, Michigan, I've followed your rise to fame all the way through Idol and I knew at the moment I first saw you on Idol that you were it! As I stood in the mosh pit and watched the concert last night, I was in awe of your true talent and humbleness. You are truly the type of performer that deserves to be right where he is and more. I'm sure you've heard this several hundred times but I have to tell you. I wish in the deepest part of my heart that I could meet you and follow your dreams with you. But reality smacks you in the face. So, I'll follow along with the rest of the fans from the pits of the shows and admire your awesome talent.
I commend you for having the courage to follow your dream and reap the rewards of success. Many people get stuck where they are in life, Dreaming and wondering what would have happened. Some would give anything to reverse time and do things all over agian. For your courage, humbleness, gratitute to the fans, and undenyable talent....I thank you!
I will continue to see as many of your shows that I can. Trying to get to Corunna tonight! Commend the band as well, they were awesome.

Hi David!!! I'm just starting to get to know you, your music and everything else conneted to you!!! So far I'm delighted with everything that I'm descovering!!!!! Well I'm didn't yet come to a show of yours but hopefully I will go someday and I'm very, very exicetd that this day come soon!!! It must be for you a very interesting and new for you to be on the other side, the side of the singer, the side of the star!!! It must bee nice, fun and very, very good too!!! :) By now it's all I have to say. Good luck to you in all of your shows and have a lot of fun, enjoy and be happy!!!!
Kisses and hugss Miii.
David- I attended your concert in Chattanooga, TN last night. You and the band were really fantastic. I could tell that you really love performing, and you made us feel like you were so happy to be there (even though I know you must be exhausted from all the touring). I realize Chattanooga might not be on your top list of places to perform, but having you in our city meant so much to those of us that were there. I just wanted to say thanks for an amazing and unforgettable performance. You are so talented, and I'm thrilled that I could see that in person. I wish you the best of luck in your career, and I'll continue to support you and your gift in anyway I can.
Hi David I love your music, most importantly my thirteen year old daughter loves your music and has the biggest crush on you, which is pretty amazing considering when boys at school try to talk to her she tells them to check back with her when she is done with her education. I have tried to get tickets for her to see you and they are always sold out. We live in the Bayou State, so its not like you are going to visit here very often. Even when you were on idol tour in Shreveport I couldn't get her there to see you. She said she has to see you before you get old, married, and have a thousand children. So if you have any intentions of coming back to the Bayou State will you send a email or blog please. Skylar knows every song on your cd by heart. She goes around the house singing it with out the music. When they took the end of year field trip at school she came home smiling saying mom the school bus driver turned the music up David came on and everyone on the bus was singing his song including the bus driver how cool was that she said. I truly believe that she is probably your biggest fan. Her older brother is your age and is married he tells her to get a grip and that she needs to seek professional help. Skylar responded by saying, I have a 4.0 GPA and have had it since 1st grade I do believe I can have one distraction and it will always be David Cook. I don't mind her going crazy over you, you seem to have a good heart, no drug issues to my knowledge, and hey I can understaand the words you sing. So please keep the Bayou State in mind, We live in West Monroe and Shreveport is only two hours away. Continue to sing beautifully, continue to have a good heart, and most important of all stay grounded. Don't let the music shape who you are, you shape the music.
Hi! David Cook, thanks for sharing your life and your music to me and to all your fans. I first saw you on AI, that's where you hooked me. So just like a typical crazy fan, i waited, and waited and waited for your album, until i finally got it. Now it's the only music that i listen to, including of course your other songs from AI, and axium and AH. Now i try to follow your tour through the internet, everyday i check you on youtube, ha! ha! ha!, i know you said it's "like a bastard" but to me it plays an important role as it brings you closer to me. I have never been this crazy over an artists but then you happen, and just like coke, you "add"life, really, you make me enjoy life more. One more thing, i hope you don't mind to have old fans like me, it's just that i have never before known or heard an artists worthy of all my admiration and love, but now i have you. So thanks for your family too for bringing into this world a David Cook who makes a difference. I love you!
I just saw you in Galveston when you performed with Needtobreath and I almost didn't even stay for the show since it was delayed an hour and a half. I had never heard your music before except once or twice on the radio so I really didn't know what I would have missed out on.......
I have to say that I am so glad I stayed. Not even because of your talent but because of how many times during the show you said "thank you". You seem like such a genuinely humble person that it makes it so easy for the audience to connect with you. Your songs are so great and I love how much you seem to love what you do. Thanks for such a great show!
David,
I hope you truly know how much we appreciate your Vlogs! Your biggest fans love to know that you are doing well, and where you and the band will be next. Glad you took a vacation. Love your sense of humor. You are so inspiring. I absolutely love the 1st album you made before Idol ever came along. C'mon, you had to know you would be a big star someday!
Have a blast with the tour!
I will see you in Chicago July 12th!
P.S. Would like to see you on Twitter more often! (((wink)))
Assalamualaikum/peace be upon you!!!!!!!!!
whoah..
this is my 1st ever comment here.
Just joined today.
I sent you an email too. Actually 2 emails I think.
I'm a fan. obviously lol.
And as you can tell from visiting my page, I love 'permanent'.
Anways LOL, your such a joka man...haha..-all our smiling faces and all the bands ugly ones-lol your soo funny. it's great to have a smile on our face whenever watching your videos!
But sadly I can't see you as I'm in the UK. Please come over for a tour. I know it's hard, but I think you'll love to see all of OUR smiling faces lol. It would be amazing if or when you did a world tour. But I just gotta support you for now. I watch your videos and everything. I love how your so connected with us. You actually care about people lol. Down to earth. Not much others would take their time out to let us know how you are. Really means a lot.
and it's superb how diverse your fans are.
i'm from england. I'm a Muslim. a girl. Family from Kashmir/Pakistan. So I'm an EnglishAsianMuslimGirlSupporterOfDavidCook!!!!
I know, I know, late post. but whatever Hi, Im 17 and I go to Blue Springs High School. I just wanted to say that you and your band were amazing at Red White and Boom. I felt so priveledged to be there and see you perform in your home town I was standing close to the front row and could tell that you were having a blast. I especially loved A Daily Anthem... i was on such a high when you had the entire crowd raise up their hands and sing with you. And Im pretty sure that that moment must have felt special for you too Well, I hope that your merchandise now includes some nice bootie shorts:) and that no one has tp'd your house yet ;P Good luck with everything that's yet to come and make sure to come back and visit Blue Springs!!
Hey David:
You look great and really refreshed! I already saw you at Pearl St. Ballroom in No. Hampton, MA. earlier on, and loved the show. Wish I could see you again and again!! Listen, have a terrfic time the rest of the way. Thanks for the VLOG!!!!
Love,
Mary
It's so awesome that you extended the tour looking forward to possibly seeing you in central park . I got to see you perform in Atlntic City , was hoping you would sign my CD but I never seen you do a meet and greet that day . Hope to meet you someday ,I think you are a awesome song writer , performer , singer, guitar player (I love guitar players I married one) and your also extremely handsome, would love to take a pic with you by my side. Well I'm glad the tour is doing well you deserve it see America and I got it right.
If you read this email check out my husbands music (even though it's not your style maybe but I enjoy it. www.myspace.com/mikearnold )
Well type at you later
One of your cougar fans Joanne Arnold
Welcome back from your brief vacation. I was lucky to see you at the last concert in Chapel Hill, North Carolina - Cat's Cradle...You were terrific, you rock the house. I wish I could just follow you all over the US. You look so cute with the hat ...Enjoy your tour and I'll catch you in Columbia, SC in October....it seems so far away, but I'll just have to wait...you are worth waiting for...Keep up the Vlogs - so that we can see your pretty face...Love you....Claudia
I wanted to go to this so bad.....but I didn't make it, I can't believe I missed something of yours in Kansas City. I think I've been to just about everything you've done here......I am still a HUGE fan and I am so happy I finally got my picture with you and Andrew and so happy I got to meet Joey and get my picture with him too!!!! You know who I am, I have been teased by everyone because my hand is on your chest in our picture..... For the record, you are adorable but only a few years older than my son, so I am your fan because I love your voice, your style, your charm, your MUSIC AND YOUR BAND!!! Okay, there that's it everyone!!!! Congrats on being on stage, I can relate to what you must have thought about being up there and now you made it...Good for you, I couldn't be happier for you. Best of luck in all you do and I hope to see you around the Holidays around KC!!
What a wonderful thing to see you again. Thanks for the Vlog. David looks perky again, eh? Glad to see you got a break, David, and also to see that you look well. I was excited to see YOU so excited to be HOME, and performing YOUR DREAM PERFORMANCE on that stage. I feel it....I feel it. Congrats on all the success, but on a selfish note, I am glad to see you succed so that I can continue to have access to you and your music. I have never before been on myspace and had no desire to be, until you came along, and I wanted all the latest news and info on you and your great music....It's a previledge to see what's been going on and to say I am a fan, and tell people about you, and your music. I talk to everybody about you... Spreading the love... BTW, I will be at the concert at the California State fair, August 21 (butterflies enter tummy..). How do you find out if there is a meet and greet?
David- I went to Red White and boom 14 and you pretty much made the entire night AMAZING. I was right in the front row and couldn't believe how amazing you performed. I honestly almost started to cry when you played A daily antheM, not only because it was your last song that you were going to perform, but because of the way you got the entire crowd involved and really made the night special for everyone that attended.
The heat and the rain made the concert a little less than the ideal weather, but you made it all worth it! Blue October, The Veronicas, Kevin Rudolf and all the others that also performed were awesome as well!
Thank you so much for coming out and playing for your home town fans! We love you so much!!
I'm sorry I'm only seeing this vlog now. I was at the San Diego show and didn't get back home until the 22nd and then I've been working like mad and haven't had the time to get on DCO. And now I see another lovely message to all of us fans with your adoring smile and kind words. I love the way you mix up what you wear--it's always a surprise, and no matter what it is, it always looks so darn good! Gosh, you're so gorgeous. But thanks, again and again, for remembering us, directing all your attention to us in the few minutes you deliver a message in a vlog. We remain your humble, loyal, forever fans, always intoxicated and mesmerized by your unchanging, overwhelming kindness and gratitude. I just love ya, David, always have, always will.

As I stood in the mosh pit and watched the concert last night, I was in awe of your true talent and humbleness. You are truly the type of performer that deserves to be right where he is and more. I'm sure you've heard this several hundred times but I have to tell you. I wish in the deepest part of my heart that I could meet you and follow your dreams with you. But reality smacks you in the face. So, I'll follow along with the rest of the fans from the pits of the shows and admire your awesome talent.
I commend you for having the courage to follow your dream and reap the rewards of success. Many people get stuck where they are in life, Dreaming and wondering what would have happened. Some would give anything to reverse time and do things all over agian. For your courage, humbleness, gratitute to the fans, and undenyable talent....I thank you!
I will continue to see as many of your shows that I can. Trying to get to Corunna tonight! Commend the band as well, they were awesome.
Take care and please come back to Michigan.

Concert in Chattanooga, TN
David- I attended your concert in Chattanooga, TN last night. You and the band were really fantastic. I could tell that you really love performing, and you made us feel like you were so happy to be there (even though I know you must be exhausted from all the touring). I realize Chattanooga might not be on your top list of places to perform, but having you in our city meant so much to those of us that were there. I just wanted to say thanks for an amazing and unforgettable performance. You are so talented, and I'm thrilled that I could see that in person. I wish you the best of luck in your career, and I'll continue to support you and your gift in anyway I can.
My daughter
Hi David I love your music, most importantly my thirteen year old daughter loves your music and has the biggest crush on you, which is pretty amazing considering when boys at school try to talk to her she tells them to check back with her when she is done with her education. I have tried to get tickets for her to see you and they are always sold out. We live in the Bayou State, so its not like you are going to visit here very often. Even when you were on idol tour in Shreveport I couldn't get her there to see you. She said she has to see you before you get old, married, and have a thousand children. So if you have any intentions of coming back to the Bayou State will you send a email or blog please. Skylar knows every song on your cd by heart. She goes around the house singing it with out the music. When they took the end of year field trip at school she came home smiling saying mom the school bus driver turned the music up David came on and everyone on the bus was singing his song including the bus driver how cool was that she said. I truly believe that she is probably your biggest fan. Her older brother is your age and is married he tells her to get a grip and that she needs to seek professional help. Skylar responded by saying, I have a 4.0 GPA and have had it since 1st grade I do believe I can have one distraction and it will always be David Cook. I don't mind her going crazy over you, you seem to have a good heart, no drug issues to my knowledge, and hey I can understaand the words you sing. So please keep the Bayou State in mind, We live in West Monroe and Shreveport is only two hours away. Continue to sing beautifully, continue to have a good heart, and most important of all stay grounded. Don't let the music shape who you are, you shape the music.
just another Die hard fan!
Hi! David Cook, thanks for sharing your life and your music to me and to all your fans. I first saw you on AI, that's where you hooked me. So just like a typical crazy fan, i waited, and waited and waited for your album, until i finally got it. Now it's the only music that i listen to, including of course your other songs from AI, and axium and AH. Now i try to follow your tour through the internet, everyday i check you on youtube, ha! ha! ha!, i know you said it's "like a bastard" but to me it plays an important role as it brings you closer to me. I have never been this crazy over an artists but then you happen, and just like coke, you "add"life, really, you make me enjoy life more. One more thing, i hope you don't mind to have old fans like me, it's just that i have never before known or heard an artists worthy of all my admiration and love, but now i have you. So thanks for your family too for bringing into this world a David Cook who makes a difference. I love you!
Pleasantly Surprised
I just saw you in Galveston when you performed with Needtobreath and I almost didn't even stay for the show since it was delayed an hour and a half. I had never heard your music before except once or twice on the radio so I really didn't know what I would have missed out on.......
I have to say that I am so glad I stayed. Not even because of your talent but because of how many times during the show you said "thank you". You seem like such a genuinely humble person that it makes it so easy for the audience to connect with you. Your songs are so great and I love how much you seem to love what you do. Thanks for such a great show!
God Bless!!

Red White and Boom!
I know, I know, late post. but whatever
Hi, Im 17 and I go to Blue Springs High School. I just wanted to say that you and your band were amazing at Red White and Boom. I felt so priveledged to be there and see you perform in your home town
I was standing close to the front row and could tell that you were having a blast. I especially loved A Daily Anthem... i was on such a high when you had the entire crowd raise up their hands and sing with you. And Im pretty sure that that moment must have felt special for you too
Well, I hope that your merchandise now includes some nice bootie shorts:) and that no one has tp'd your house yet ;P Good luck with everything that's yet to come and make sure to come back and visit Blue Springs!!

It's so awesome that you extended the tour looking forward to possibly seeing you in central park . I got to see you perform in Atlntic City , was hoping you would sign my CD but I never seen you do a meet and greet that day . Hope to meet you someday ,I think you are a awesome song writer , performer , singer, guitar player (I love guitar players I married one) and your also extremely handsome, would love to take a pic with you by my side. Well I'm glad the tour is doing well you deserve it see America and I got it right.

DAVID ROCKS..
Welcome back from your brief vacation. I was lucky to see you at the last concert in Chapel Hill, North Carolina - Cat's Cradle...You were terrific, you rock the house. I wish I could just follow you all over the US. You look so cute with the hat ...Enjoy your tour and I'll catch you in Columbia, SC in October....it seems so far away, but I'll just have to wait...you are worth waiting for...Keep up the Vlogs - so that we can see your pretty face...Love you....Claudia
Red, White and BOOM
I wanted to go to this so bad.....but I didn't make it, I can't believe I missed something of yours in Kansas City. I think I've been to just about everything you've done here......I am still a HUGE fan and I am so happy I finally got my picture with you and Andrew and so happy I got to meet Joey and get my picture with him too!!!! You know who I am, I have been teased by everyone because my hand is on your chest in our picture..... For the record, you are adorable but only a few years older than my son, so I am your fan because I love your voice, your style, your charm, your MUSIC AND YOUR BAND!!! Okay, there that's it everyone!!!! Congrats on being on stage, I can relate to what you must have thought about being up there and now you made it...Good for you, I couldn't be happier for you. Best of luck in all you do and I hope to see you around the Holidays around KC!!

IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN!!
What a wonderful thing to see you again. Thanks for the Vlog. David looks perky again, eh? Glad to see you got a break, David, and also to see that you look well. I was excited to see YOU so excited to be HOME, and performing YOUR DREAM PERFORMANCE on that stage. I feel it....I feel it. Congrats on all the success, but on a selfish note, I am glad to see you succed so that I can continue to have access to you and your music. I have never before been on myspace and had no desire to be, until you came along, and I wanted all the latest news and info on you and your great music....It's a previledge to see what's been going on and to say I am a fan, and tell people about you, and your music. I talk to everybody about you... Spreading the love... BTW, I will be at the concert at the California State fair, August 21 (butterflies enter tummy..). How do you find out if there is a meet and greet?

Red, White and Boom 14
David- I went to Red White and boom 14 and you pretty much made the entire night AMAZING. I was right in the front row and couldn't believe how amazing you performed. I honestly almost started to cry when you played A daily antheM, not only because it was your last song that you were going to perform, but because of the way you got the entire crowd involved and really made the night special for everyone that attended.
The heat and the rain made the concert a little less than the ideal weather, but you made it all worth it! Blue October, The Veronicas, Kevin Rudolf and all the others that also performed were awesome as well!
Thank you so much for coming out and playing for your home town fans! We love you so much!!
