How much longer til it hits the #1 spot somewhere? If I was a drinker, I would have a bottle of champagne in one hand and a corkscrew in the other...but I don't drink so I type a lot.

I also need to give back to Mr. David Cook for all he's given me with his amazing voice and his humbleness. Love you!!!!!!! Looking forward to following your rise to stardom!!!!!!!
I know you will chatter records this week!
I bought my copy and gifted 4 more. I want to spread the love and let everybody see why I'm a devoted fan.
David, we will support you always and the chart numbers will confirm you just that. Ignore the haters and naysayers, and snob critics, don't they know music is supposed to be fun and not over analyzed?
I've never invested so much time and effort on a rock artist before. Now you are here, restoring once again my faith in rock music and humanity.
I've said this a gazillion times: "YOU ARE A MUSIC ANGEL DESTINED TO DO GREAT THINGS WITH YOUR AMAZING TALENT! GOD HAVE GREAT PLANS WITH YOU!"

MY LETTER TO DAVID
Dear David
I have listened to your new single and I think that it is absolutely amazing. I know that there are a lot of naysayers out there and I hope that you do not take all of their negative comments to heart. They know not of what they speak!
There are some really mean spirited people out there who I think are jealous of your success. I on the other hand could not be happier that your amazing and remarkable talent has been bestowed upon you. It could not have happened to a nicer person. I believe that you have the ability to lift a person’s spirit when they are down and give them the courage to follow their own dreams. Your voice has captivated me and you leave me wanting for more and more ………..
In your own words, you were playing in bars to as MANY as 5 five people and you now have millions of fans, not only in America but all around the world. You deserve your success and we are the privileged ones who get to share your journey with you.
When you receive all your Grammy awards for Best Newcomer, Best Album and Best Single, I will be the first one to say to all the naysayers “ Ha Ha, I told you so”!!!!!!!!!!!
We, your fans will never let you fall.
Much Love and Admiration
Trevlyn

PS: How about during your acceptance speech you give a shout out to all your fans in South Africa. I will definitely be watching and have no doubt whatsoever that you will be there!!!!!!!!!!!!
congratulations
David
Congratulations on the song being released on itunes. I know it will do great.

I don't know if you know but there are right now over 200,000 votes that love "LIGHT ON" on popeaters poll. I am so happy for you. I know your family and friends are very proud of you. You are all in my prays.

Got my "Light On!"
Proud to be one of the first to buy the single on iTunes! Gave a few copies to friends in the process.
Great job, Mr. Cook...can't wait to see the numbers. You're on your way, man!
Let the Buying Begin!
Congratulations PicChick! I am from Chicago and I am staying up until I can buy it!
Let's Show David Just How Much We Care!
I hope this doesn't sound corny. I know I am sort of preaching to the choir here, because the people here are true fans, but let's do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO SHOW DAVID THAT WE LOVE HIS NEW SINGLE AND WE LOVE AND SUPPORT HIM AND HIS AMAZING TALENT! Remind guy friends and girlfriends and brothers and sisters etc. that David 's new single is available. Tell them to tell their friend's and so on and so on. Remember how we felt when he first grabbed out attention, and how he moved us week after week with his mind-blowing versions of songs we thought we knew? Remember when we researched him and could not believe that this talent was undiscovered? Remember how we grabbed at anything we could get our hands on from Axium and Analog Heart? This is our chance to say thank you to David for everything he has given us! Let's not only make David and his family proud, let's make ourselves proud for being such great loyal fans! Buy the song, gift the song, and make requests for the song on your local stations. David deserves to be #1! Let's give him a glimpse of things to come in terms of album sales. Thanks everyone.
its up on itunes now...
I just bought it on itunes

Re: Faith
I like your comment imatek (although I don't consider the people who don't like his song to be his fans but just posers pretending, I saw enough of that myself during the competition so know how they operate plus can't fathom any fan not loving such a beautiful song as it doesn't make sense) but you have it absolutely right.

Can't get enough
I've been a fan since you sang Living on a Prayer for your AI auditions. Love your smokey voice and phrasing. LIGHT ON is fantastic--can't wait to download it from itunes tomorrow. NOW at least the world knows what your fans have known all along....you have a terrific sound and vibe that transcend all age groups. We've also been witness to your generosity and humble, but confident character. Thanks for being you!
Wishing you the best,
Sidnac
Faith
OK Here goes. I have been reading many, many opinions and critiques of Light ON. Kudos to the positive, faithful fans who really enjoy hearing David "sing his face off" as Randy Jackson put it when critiquing David's AI rendition of Dream Big. That song speaks about having faith in one's dreams. David Cook has always had faith in his dream of making his music, using his amazing voice and beloved guitar. He was in the slow but steady process of making that dream come true when winning AI 2007 speeded things up a tad. Now he is living his dream and well on his way to fulfilling it. Whether in Blue Springs or Kansas City or Tulsa he always knew who he was and where he wanted to be. I don't think that anyone is going to manipulate him nor overpower his sense of 'self'. He is true to himself!! Develop faith in that one aspect.
If you are a fan of David and went throught that whole AI experience with him, you just have to come out of it, having that same faith and confidence that he exuded during all those micro performances. I think Dream Big was a self portrait. I feel confident and I have faith in David Cook. I just love Light On. That is a subjective view and others have the negative subjective view. However, I would like to think that my positive view is based on not only hearing the song, but also on having faith in a guy who had the guts to make AI a "progression" for himself, as he stated to Simon Cowell about singing "The World I Know" instead of Billie Jean.
So I say to all those who seemed disappointed in David's first release - develop not only a physical ear for the song but also a spiritual faith in the artist who delivers it.
Faith precedes the miracle and the miracle will happen November 18th/08
I can't get the song out of my head!
I tried to avoid the song for a whole day, but my neurons won't let me forget it! lol
This song is magic. I don't know what will happen when I listen to the complete CD.
Whatever happens to my brain I don't want any help.
LIGHT ON!!!

WHAT TIME Eastern zone will Light On be released to itunes and Amazon??
I sure hope I can get it on Amazon.com cause itunes won't let me convert it without first burning a CD and then ripping it. P I T A, I say.I read through the touching post from Kathy...wow...I picked up on MomBeth at the same moment you did. I cry when I see that video too! I have a daughter and two sons all in their 20s so I know kinda where you are at. I can only imagine what it feels like to lose one in an accident...David-love has affected so many thousands of people during different times of strife...he is just plain filling voids all over the world. Who knew?

At Last.....
Since the song was released here, I've been waiting anxiously to hear it on stations in the Cinci, OH area. Either it wasn't being played or I kept missing it. One of the stations' websites had a promo for it, but I couldn't find it on their playlist. Every time I turn the radio on, I'd hear Daughtry and I'd yell, "What about COOK?!!" I mean, I was getting pretty pissed (ask my family...my DH and 2 DDs can tell you exactly how much).
So, I'm just on my way home from work alternating between listening to my iPod and the radio, trying to catch LO on any of our local stations. Nothing. I'm bummed. Joan Jett finishes up and the afternoon DJ says,"Here's the new one from David Cook..."
I'm literally screaming in the car, ya'll.
A grown woman. Screaming with tears in my eyes, bangin' on the steering wheel. Singing along the whole time.
Pathetic. But, I'm a happy camper now.
Now, to get my girls to hear it. They heard on my iPod and are addicted.
LIGHT ON
I heard his first single "Light On" and I love it..It's a great song and I downloaded into my ipod..so I can listen to it every day and I'll never get tired of it..Well done David Cook

Awesome Singer & Great Guy
David,
This is the 1st time I'm writing on here. I picked you to be the idol winner right from the start.
First because your voice and the arrangements were totally awesome.
Second, because I lost my son David 25 years old to an auto accident in April of 2006.
So I just felt a connection to you because your name is David and you are 25.
Also this was my first year watching idol.
I felt the love you had for your mother & her love for you.
I cried when you sang "First time ever I saw your face" and your mom was standing up.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How awesome.
Just wanted to tell you how great you are and what a mother/son relationship you have.
Also I have a younger son named Adam (you have a brother Adam)
Kathy
Hi David
Wishing you all the best. Looking forward to the CD. Take care and be well.
