Thankx for sharing with us David. We love you lots.Your music is fantastic and addictive to me, I just want MORE. hope its not getting old to hear. WE LOVE YOU DAVID COOK! Stay healthy & GBU Susan from Cocoa Flordia

I just saw his right hand on the music stand. He's 100% a "lefty" Smiling

This may or may not have been addressed already, sorry if it has...

Are my eyes deceiving me? When David is standing in the studio at the music stand, is he writing WITH HIS RIGHT HAND?

-Attention all UK fans- you can pre order David s album via Amazon UK - so what are you waiting for - go get em! I am just "over the moon".

I was gonna say it's been a long time since we heard from you, but then I double checked the dates...and it's only been a week since you brought us into your recording studio! "Please, Sir, may I have some more?" We just can't get enough of you. Does it feel weird to be so loved by so many women and girls the world over? I think I'd be freaked! (Especially since I'm a woman! Joke. Now if I found myself beloved by men and boys the world over.....I think I'd be freaked!) And then I'd thank God for giving me the opportunity to be a positive influence on so very many people. I think it is beautiful that you have touched so many hearts with your genuine kindness and love. You are a true hero - much, much more than a mere Idol - you are a worthy role model. You are intelligent and sensitive, you are a gentleman, and you have a huge heart - qualities in a man that a young woman would be wise to seek out in guys she dates, and qualities that young men can emulate. You have blessed us with the gift of yourself. Please take good care of yourself so that you can continue blessing us for many years to come.

be real

Okay so....I remember when it used to be 60-some days. I remember when it was 45 days. Now it's 35 and it still feels so far away. But you are so incredible to let us in on things you are doing and are about to do. Some artists wouldn't bother to do that or even care, but that's what makes you the David that we fell in love with from the start, and the David we love so much now. You are so genuine and so real and so beautiful, that I couldn't let another moment pass me by without telling you so. This website is just the best thing ever. And I absolutely love "Light On"!!!!!!! Cannot wait for the CD, the Video or the Tour. Until then, take of yourself Mister and hope to see & hear from you real soon!!!! Smiling - Andrea

just wanted to say that....
even though u said singing this song was tough. it actually didnt sound like it at all. WHICH MEANS YOU DID A FABULOUS JOB COOK! keep up the good work man. can't wait for your cd to come out!!!

Hi David!
Thanks for a small look into your busy life putting your new album together. Heck, you could just video a day in your life and we'd be in heaven!! It's amazing how much of an impact you have on us fans!! I guess it makes us feel "connected" to you-- you are such an inspiration!! I haven't heard LO yet on the radio, but I'm still hearing TOML about every hour! I'm sure once the radio stations start playing it, it will, no doubt, stay on their playlists for many months!! We just have to be patient. And of course, all of us fans are anxiously awaiting the new album and the video for Light On!! We are definitely here for you!!
Thanks!

I've watch the making of light on and its amazing, you're so cute with the skateboard....

BTW are you gonna have a music video for this? can't wait for it to come out, surely million of fans look forward to it!

I could watch that video of you over and over again. My favorite part is you sitting on the couch talking and laughing, I want to do that with you someday and I hope someday it will happen. You look so relaxed, at ease and happy. I would love to have a conversation with you for an hour or two and just sit and talk to you and find out all your hopes and dreams, maybe someday. Well take care of yourself and I'm looking forward to your tour so I can see you perform again in person. I'm sure your busy with your album so have an awesome week and all your hard work will pay off big time, because you deserve it!!!! Talk to ya soon!! xoxoxo

Thanks for letting us take a peek at the making of "Light On" but we would love to see more behind the scenes videos. No surprise that you would put out a great song. The more I listen to it, the more I love it.

Promise me you'll never lose the tummy. It's a very yummy tummy.

Continued success!

That was a tasty cookie crumb, David! Thanks! But now we're watering at the mouth waiting for the main course — the actual music vid. (And crossing fingers Dr. and Andy will be glimpsed in it as well.)

By the way, gang, once that music video hits the TV ... hoo boy, pandemonium, I betcha. Not just among the diehard Word Nerds, but among the larger public. I bet Stacy ends up waving her Word Nerd numbering wand over a gazillion more newly minted Word Nerds. And this site will go bananas. Again.

Web nerds, are ya ready for the onslaught? FTW! Eye-wink

David--- Thanks for sharing some of your private moments. I'm just asking pretty please, another segment of making the record or better yet, what about a snipet of your music video I hear you're working on.
You're the best and always will be. Take care

I'm asking all of you to call the radio stations and request Light On....also, i think that we can purchase the download several more times.....could that possibly be a million of us!!!!!

For all that David means to us we need to support him.... He knows that his fans support him but lets show him that we really care...He has changed my world in so many ways...I want to show the world that he is truly a remarkable singer and performer and has a beautiful soul...

When will you host Saturday Night Live??????

You would have a blast, no doubt~
That's enough from me....going to bed now.

Is Andy gonna tour with you and Doctor? Are you basically re inventing MWK and taking advantage
of the Idol catapult? Or...are you really interviewing bandmates when not in the studio? I know
so many questions, so little time. I just don't wait well and being a bit disabled, I have way too much
free time on my hands.
Can you throw us another Cookie Crumb?

Please tell Doctor that I think his songs are brilliant!!! I especially like "Make Me" right now anyway.
Thanks for all that you do for me.

YOU

The only reason Light On isn't high on the top 100 is because not many people know it'seven out. I haven't heard it once on the radio in upstate NY. The only ones that know about it are the loyal fans who found it on your website or word of mouth.
Everyone should be calling the radio stations to get it heard by everyone else. It's a great song and I think this is not being promoted very well. Maybe David should do another Leno appearance or other tv spots. Once people hear it, it will go back up the charts, most likely #1.

David, have you noticed how many times your performances on American Idol have been played. Some in the hundreds of thousands and even one over a million times and another one 4 million times. That says a lot about what American thinks of David Cook. I tried to send this before and it got lost in cyberspace, but I just wanted to encourage you to keep on being true to yourself and don't let them make you too Hollywood. We all fell in love with the boy next door with the great heart and all that "charisma" that Simon didn't get. And forget the negative people who wish they could be in your shoes. The numbers will tell it all. Again, thank you for the clip and the blog, but everyone wants to see you sing.

--Thanks for sharing behind the scence in making your Record Ihope you have a great weekend

i love this song right now........and love david cook.......

David
I just listened to Light On - I love it sooooooooooo much!! You aren't going to be disappointing any of us that voted for you if you keep coming out with quality songs like that.
I hope you're enjoying your new life, and getting some rest !!!

What if he was going to cry, I don't see why that should matter. He is such a great artist because of .being emotional David you can cry anytime you want. ~franwessel

hey what's the point system???? what is that about????

Just checking in to say hi. Have been a bit busy the last few days.

Still love Light On and listen to it everyday. I am sure that as soon as the radio stations start playing the song and you get the airtime you need, that Light On will be No. 1 again.

Not sure when they will be playing it on the radio here in South Africa as I am sure you know that we are a little behind you guys.

Love ya

the single doesn't make it to radio stations until next week, and the songs that are in the iTunes Top 10 have had radio play for weeks now. all the die-hard fans have bought the single, but regular radio listeners who don't follow David's career like we do haven't even heard of the single yet.

i really wish people would stop acting like the sky is falling just because Light On isn't #1. it hasn't gotten the exposure his iTunes competitors have, and it won't until next week when it hits radio stations. then, more likely than not, it'll climb back up the charts.

are you really gonna give up on David and the single that fast?

Where are his fans and support to buy his single?? BUY and Request it on the radio everyone, it is important that you do or else it wont make it on the radio!
