I was not a regular viewer of AI until this past year. I started watching the auditions when they were going to all the different cities. I don't remember Davids audition,even tho I like Bon Jovie and it seems like it should have stood out to me. I do know that as soon as the voting started I did vote for him every time.My kids used to laugh at me because I would keep a list every week with each contesants name that I liked and the phone number to call. David was on each one, along with Michael Johns, David A and Carly. I wish now that I would have saved them lol. I used to check Davids myspace once in a while and found out about the meet and greet before the shows. I didn't start going on any of the fan sites until after I went to the AI tour show in Charlotte and we got to meet some of the idols. I missed David by about 10 minutes, I was so disappointed, but the show was great of coarse. After that I started looking on you tube for Mavid dances after every show to see the newest. Once I joined DCO though I became totally obsessed. It just keeps getting better every day !!!
