oh my gosh ! thats awesome ! Im soo excited ! im going to go out and buy like a million copies : )
its amazing that out of all the stuff that could be on the cover he got to be ! I'm not surprised though, i mean like who or what else would you want to put on there for people to first see : )

That is so sick. From all the greastest things that happen in 2008, David Cook gets to be on a very popular book that everyone looks in and he is one of the special ones that gets to be on a book cover with the Barack Obama and John McCain. Not to mention the 2008 Olymipic Games - China. Good job David Cook for being on "The World Almanac 2009"!

sooooo cool!

Wow! 2009 World Almanac, Dude! How cool is that? I might have to pick one of those up this year. Seriously, when was the last time anyone has read the World Almanac? Their circulation is going to go up and stimulate the economy to an upward trend.

What a tribute to you David. This speaks volume of your character. How fantastic that other people outside of your inner circle find ways to use your inner beauty for the greater good. This is really a tribute to you as a person, how you have conducted yourself over the past year, and how people connect with you. What a year has been for you - you are very deserving of all that comes. Some people in this world take everything for granted, you are one of the few that stop and acknowledge the beauty in everything - ok maybe not the beauty but you do stop to soak in each moment that you are living and cheers to you for doing so!!
This is just so fantastic for you!! I am proud to have been and continue to be a die hard DC fan. I am proud to stand behind you and support you in all of your future endeavors and wish you well. Rest assured you were launched into stardom by a little show called American Idol but you will remain a star in all of our eyes. Remain true to yourself, stay real, enjoy every moment, live life to its fullest, surround yourself with good trusting people and you will be more successful than you ever thought!

Here"s what...... DAVID ROLAND COOK is a champion among champions! Now let the whole wide world see it and know it. President Obama, Senator John McClain, The world Olympic Flag..... and yes, David Cook! WHY? Because David Cook is the most talented American Idol ever, he won by 56 million votes and a landslide lead of 12,000,000 votes, never before in the history of American Idol! He had, in one week, ELEVEN songs on Billboard Top 100.....being the only other recording artiist in history to come as close to the world legend BEATLES"s having fourteen!! Within six months of winning the Idol Crown he so deserves to own, his first single The Time Of My Life sold well over 1,000,000 copeies making Platinum, his second release LIGHT ON quickly turned Gold, and his self titled album just released in November 2008 was Gold by Christmas...... both of which are surely on their way to Platinum. David Cook is reckoned with the highest respect for his talent, for taking risks, for capturing the hearts and souls of millions.....for spreading love and happiness through the gift of his music! He is a gift from heaven.......one AMAZING man at age 26!! WHAT CAN I SAY.....??? Congrats David Cook, for being chosen among the most memorable....... 2008 was, is and always will be for me..... the year yOU ROCKED MY WORLD!! You just keep on impressing me!! I am so proud of ALL that you are babeee!!!

VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE Mr. Cook!!!

how cool is that??? i must say, i actually knew this a long time ago, and i think i put it on my profile... i think... i just thought it was funny how they made a whole video saying why he was on the cover... still, i will admit that i have bought the book, and that it is totally awesome that he is featured on it...
-Wiza Smiling

That is so cool!!! It totally appeals to your inner nerd...and mine!!! Rock on!

That is great! I love how they see the world beyond just politics. Pop culture is so important and David was a big part of that by winning American Idol. He has defined a generation. Congrats David!!! You deserve it.

The life that I knew, it’s through

It’s like life on the moon

This is so cool!! Congrats David!

Oh wow! that's pretty cool! Nice photo of him too!
Way to go David!!!!

Someone looks like a FANBOY

Most amazing human being in the world = David Cook

I remember hearing that David was on the cover, but it's great to see a video clip of them saying why they put David on the cover. Smiling That's AWESOME.

David, there's no doubt that you deserve it! I'm so proud to be your fan!! You may not realize how just being a part of the whole experience and watching you grow and voting for you on AI and then seeing you in concert and you sharing your life with us on DCO and through your music makes us feel so connected to and invested in you!! You never cease to amaze me! You are a very special person with a big heart and an amazing talent! 2008 was a great year, but 2009 will be even better! This is just the beginning!! And congratulations on this huge honor!
--E.

Putting David on the cover was a good choice, because, though I may have bought it anyway because of the whole historical presidential race, I will DEFINITELY buy one now JUST because it has David on it!!!! I wonder how much they cost...? I will check...oh wow, it's only like, ten bucks on Amazon! TOTALLY buying it now!!!! Ha, last year I probably wouldn't have glanced at The World Almanac, but this past year...with David winning...and his album coming out...and Obama winning....but mostly just David winning and his album coming out! LOL! ^_^

Love ya to pieces David!
~Sarah

p.s. I am SO glad that they used such a good picture of him! He looks SO incredibly cute in that picture!!!

"Carry me down, rolling in your arms, because I can't remember ever falling this hard...."

Excellent choice! David really deserved to be in that cover. He's the most memorable person for me in the year 2008. The best year ever.
David, I'm so proud of you!

I can't wait to get a copy of that book.

I think this went to somebody completely deserving- David Cook, you are the most memorable person I dont actually know probably of the last decade for me. You've just made 2008 completely worth remembering, and I'm sure you'll do the same for many years to come- this totally went to the right person!

Awesome Siggy by Alyycook! Thanks Again!

Pretty smart cookies, those almanac folks. Alan Joyce is a winner in my book, and I know my winners. David, of course is the ultimate winner. What a year! It just gets better and better. And David, you deserve every bit of it. You are still that nice, humble guy that thrilled us all on American Idol 7. I'm having some trouble getting excited about the auditions this year. No one will ever compare to you. You are going to be so famous. Please, don't ever forget your fans. We love you for all that you are.

David is an exemplary role model and I couldn't imagine a better person to grace that cover! Plus...he makes that look good!
