Lip-synching on live TV? Ha! Ha!

Please David, tape more videos of you singing, in a park on a stage. I am so happy when I listen to David talk or sing or stand there. I am loving all the photos people are posting from their concert experience. I love to play "Light On" and let it play on the loop over and over. Thank you David for letting me see you frequently.
The emotional bond I developed for you during American Idol, makes missing you an easy thing to feel. I was loving getting to see your personality appear and that to find that you are an experienced and matured man of age 25 yr. You are happy to live openly and solid in who you are. The qualities in a woman that you spoke of are her being "Confident and Compassionate". I would imagine that all of the people around you are strong in those two qualities! I will be too!

-happiness isn't something you experienced...it is something you remembered. -

you could never screw it up :].
and i REALLY wish i lived in new york so i could watch you on snl.
and for many more reasons...heh.
best of luck, and i'll be watching from my very far away home.

While I could not get any sound here, I was able to follow the link to the MTV newsroom and everything came through fine there. It may be a block from MTV since they seem to be the source of the video.

I wish I could hear what David was saying. Is it because of the high volume of views or something?

David Cook is scheduled to perform this Friday, 10/31/08, on Good Morning America's fall concert series....wonder why this is not listed in the EVENTS part of his website? I for one already have my DVR set!

Hi David,

Good luck to your upcoming album; May the good Lord bless you more with good health, peace of mind, happiness.

You're the best American Idol ever.

I am really confused. I don't see how this song has anything to do with a guy pursuing a girl. What I gathered from it is loved ones being separated for long periods of time. I guess I can wait to see how it is actually portrayed in the video; it might not be exactly what David was saying. I guess it doesn't matter because it's okay if songs have different meanings for different people.

THE LONGEST MONTH IN HISTORY
Can this month pass any slower?????
I am saving my money for your tour...hard to do in these times but I just LOVE your music and your personality. I can't wait to get to know the band better. I have just been introduced to a lot of music
we have never heard before and I have found some that I just LOVE to listen to nonstop.
Thank you David Cook for bringing your friends into the most awesome band to ever hit the airwaves.

Dear david, i can´t wait to watch your video you look so excited in the interview!!! So am I !!!!! and all the fans that truly love you.
I hope we can see your cute face in colors byeeeeee Smiling

david i can't even come close to saying how much you have changed my life. you are amazing and i am so happy you are in my life as much as you are.

david i can't even come close to saying how much you have changed my life. you are amazing and i am so happy you are in my life as much as you are.

KUDL in Kansas City has been saying for days now that "Light On" is their most requested song, and they do play it a couple of times each day. They are also good about mentioning his SNL appearance, his video being made, etc. Keep calling or emailing your radio stations to request it! I think after David's SNL appearance it will be heard more and more.....and we can do our part by continuing to request it.

I think the best comment I saw on this site was a few days ago, and I can't remember who said it but it was something like "When David Cook sings the world stops to listen, and he sings with such emotion that it is like you can see into his soul." I can't stop thinking about that, and how accurately it describes exactly what I have been thinking and feeling. Thanks for helping put it into words!

BTW, for anyone out there, are the radio stations playing LO yet? Mine are not yet!! I've called and requested LO many times, but then they play TOML instead. (which don't get me wrong, I still love too...I just want to hear LO) I'm hoping that once the album is released, it will be all over the place!! But for now, I have to stick with my I-Pod.

ANyone else haveing problems with the sound? I cant hear it the video... : /
Stupid computer *shakes fist at it*

Lookin good David!

David, it's so cool of you to share this clip with us. Even if it is a bit of a tease! You look tremendous,
even glowing on it, so we all know you are happy living in the crazy entertainment world. Of course, you didn't blow the video, how could you, you have all that live experience on tv cameras and your talent is so mutlfaceted. I will be voting for it so it is played constantly. Also, thanks for the mobile message, it's really exciting when my cell phone starts singing Time of My Life and you are on the other end. TOO COOL!!!

Cannot wait to see you on SNL!!! You must be expoloding with joy to have all this happening to you now. Hopefully, you get to do a skit or two with the cast of Ben Affleck.

Nov. 18th is just around the corner now, too. I, for one, have pre-ordered your album on itunes and Amazon. I actually bought a new i-Pod nano so I can hear it over and over and over. I intend to share it with my whle world, too. Actually, my whole world will be glad to hear new songs from you because I play Light On so much. So many wonderful vibes coming from your world to ours. Thanks!!

Keep us informed, we all love you.

My roommate says I'm unhealthy obsessed
I say that she is just jealous

We are all on pins and needles........great to see your smiling face again with some new cookie crumbs. Truly, thank you for sharing all of this with us. Got my RS issue earlier this week and of course I was looking for any mention of you. "I just want the songs to kick you in the teeth or make you want to cry - or do something drastic." Seriously David, there is no doubt that your new work will be all (and then some) that we have been waiting for. I'm sure that your SNL visit will be one of the many experiences that you will cherish. It's only the beginning dude, more is on the horizon!

Hi David.. just wanted to say that in support of your friend and new band member, Andy Skib, I just downloaded his solo album "to have heroes" at i-tunes. Very nice stuff. Looking forward to hearing amazing harmonies with your two voices in the future. Thanks again for all your hard work to bring us amazing music and for introducing us to performers that we (outside of of the Tulsa music scene) may never have known about. On that same note, I have researched and listened to every group that you ever made mention of in interviews as being your favorites or your inspiration. So I thank you again for revitalizing my interest in music and allowing my (dormant too long) inner 19 year old to resurface. Oh yeah,.. and thanks for raising my blood pressure about 30 points and my body temp about 50 degrees. Ha! Love you ~L

This is going to be the longest week waiting for your historic SNL gig with your new band. Your video close-ups look hot. For fans outside of U.S., can you watch videos on YouTube? I found the mtv interview there and here is the link. I hope it works for you.
