Enjoyed Light On. Missed second song. Drummer was quite distracting but overall great performance. Need some volume adjustment as some parts were hard to hear over band. Love you David. Keep up the good work!
You did a great job on SNL. I was so excited to hear that you were going to be on. You did not let me down one bit, either. You were awesome!! I cannot wait for the CD to come out. I'm counting down the days!! Congrats on everything! It's well deserved!
I loved the performance of Light On and was that second song Declaration? I loved it too! Both performances were outstanding!
Neal was looking especially fine and playing well. Andy's voice in harmony was superb. The bandmates were totally rockin the house and everyone seems to mesh well together. The trouble is, when the camera focused on David alone, you could see the drummer over his shoulder bopping around with his hair flying all over. Animal! I thought. It was a bit distracting even if he did seem to be enjoying himself quite a bit.
I've recorded the show and watched it twice already this morning. I really need to get something more productive done!

I thought the performances were fantastic! He sounded amazing and looked delectable! And I thought the band sounded great! The drummer reminds me of the drummer puppet "Animal" on "The Muppets"! LOL I hope someone posts the songs on YouTube as I'd like to put them on my own home pages, but can't find them so far. Anyway, way to rock it out, Cookie!! Waiting with great anticipation for the album release!

Okay - time for some honesty - David, I love you - you are what the music industry desperately needs! But I am not impressed at all with the new band (sorry) SNL was difficult to watch - you looked like you were screaming to overcome the perfmances behind you!

Fantastic SNL performance David Cook! The boyz in the band were the icing. Y'all did everything to the T. Loved it!

So don't say a word~that I wouldnt say~just crumble it up~and throw it away #3859. Floggable
Dear David,
I am stoked about seeing your performances ( I hope you sing at least 2 songs and partecipate in one of the parodies) on SNL. tonight.
A big shout out to the other members of your band. It looks like you got an awesome ensemble.
IN BOCCA AL LUPO ( in the mouth of the wolf, the italian version of good luck when a challenge is coming up)
HEY DAVID 11-1 is my birthday!!! Can you make this fan REAL HAPPY ???? It would be sooooo awesome if you would give me a shout out before you perform "LIGHT ON" I will be taping it!!! I really don't think you will have time to read this but its a nice fantasy anyway! Love ya! ROCK ON!!!!
Michelle
Would not miss it for the world. I can not wait to see and hear him with his new band. I am sure he is sooo stoked!!! Your fans love you David and we all want you to be happy! Go get 'em Tiger and know that we are all watching and cheering you on!!!! Hope to see ya soon!!!!!

I think there should be a skit with Obama about who the real American Idol is - that it'll be determined November 4, not by a TV show. Of course, then the joke would be that at least our votes counted on AI, not like the real election...
Can't wait to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear David,
I am so looking forward to Saturday night to see you and your band performing live. I bet the show's ratings will soar. Not because of Obama, not because of Affleck, but because of you. This is so exciting! Your fans will be glued to their TV sets. We know you'll do a heartfelt, spectacular job. See you then.
WOW!!!! this is big David!!! a lot of artists have to wait a lot to be considered to perform in SNL , But we all know you´re special and you deserve it more than anybody else BEST WISHES!!!!!!!! LOVE YA!!!!!
omg I'm so excited!!! in less than a week we'll be seeing David performing live for the first time since the tour ended, and for the first time with the band!!!!!!!
well well well!! I know i will be watching your perfomance! wow did you ever see imagine being able to perform on SNL?! that's awesome! i'm looking forward to this and wish you the best of luck, rock out on that stage!
Guys, David was making a joke about lip synching. Remember Ashlee Simpson?! David has nothing to worry about. David just being himself, singing his face off and having fun will steal the show! His voice is gorgeous and 2 of the band members are very used to performing with him. This is going to be fun for David. We saw on AI that this man is a pro!
I wanted to let you know that I had made an effort to push you to be on SNL. I remember a few times after you won that I had emailed SNL. How ironic? I hope that it will go well for you and the band. You know that it will be the start of a wonderful career. I can't wait to see "Light On" live for the first time that is huge!
David should be in an SNL Cougar's Den Skit ... if not now, then
sometime in the future. Http://www.cougarslovecook.com (the
official David Cook Fan Club For Cougars) should prove that
an SNL Cougar's Den Skit with David Cook is a natural.
I enjoy seeing David on talk shows and other interviews about
as much as I enjoy hearing him sing ... and that's saying
something !!!
I dont know if someone already asked or answered this question. Does David get to sing two songs on SNL ? I thought that the musical guest sings two songs.
Geez, David, You know that a lot of people don't watch American Idol cause they think it is a lame show or something...they DO watch SNL however and might just be surprised at the talent that has just been discovered. This must make you more nervous than singing the National Anthem but just remember you are with your closest friends and you have a huge fanbase with us NERDS behind you to begin with.
Get into it and have fun...(you guys better be tight, the world is watching) is just a scare tactic. HA

Take care and see you on SNL! Warmest wishes, Gail
