I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... well he's hot. But that's not the only reason. He is a very excellent singer. Also by watching him on Idol and all his interviews and things of that sort I can tell he is a very funny, caring, kind, giving person. And I don't know what it is but whenever I am sad about anything listening to a song from his album pre Idol or one he sang during Idol or one from his latest album it just makes me smile and be happy. He is also very strong. Going through Idol you really need to be strong, Really strong. But David Cook had to be strong on the show and off the show. His brother had cancer. And when a loved one is sick with cancer you have to be strong, not just for you but for your family and the one who's sick. Trust me I know. When I was two and my cousin was six she died of leukimia. When I was six my grampie died of colon cancer. And now when a girl who mine as well be my sister is seven she has neuroblastoma. And that's hard enough. But going through Idol at the same time that's just absolutley amazing to me. And maybe that's what makes me smile while listening to him. Even though he doesn't know me he understands what I am going through. He knows what its like to wake up in the morning and put a smile on your face even when you want to break down and cry. You have to be strong because the one you love needs you to be and needs you to be there for them. With him having a brother with cancer it made me realize that I'm not the only one going through this and there are other people out there suffering to that I can lean on. And again even though he doesn't know me I can rely on him as a romodel to stay strong. Whenever I feel like I can't be strong anymore I can just play one of his songs and realize in the end everything will be okay but for the time being I need to be strong. So thank you David Cook for letting me realize I'm not the only person going through this and there are people I can rely on and for showing me how to be strong 24/7. No matter how bad "my sister's" condition is or how many things remind me of my cousin and grampie. Because you went through your brother having cancer and going through Idol at the same time. And that's amazing to me. Cause some day's I don't want to get out of bed and go to school with "my sister" having cancer at the same time. So that's why I am a David Cook fan, even though he doesn't know me he gets it. Not a lot of people I know understand. So knowing people out there do understand is amazing . Especially knowing he understands. Because I'm a huge fan. He sings amazingly and he's funny and caring and no season can compare to Season 7 cause no other season will have David Cook. He made Idol amazing for me. Watching the Behind the Scene's videos on americanidol.com made me laugh along with other interviews and videos on youtube.com. He's just an amazing person. If he didn't win I would have cried. Well I still did when he won. But they were tears of joy, I also cried when my mom got tickets to his concert(: I can't imagine where I'd be if he didn't audition for American Idol even though he wasn't planning it. I LOVE DAVID COOK. And I can't believe what a difference he's made in my life. Before I knew who he was I didn't understand how people could be such big fans of singers or actors but after Season 7 of American Idol I finally understand. And its a great feeling. All of this is why I am a David Cook fan and can't live without being a fan of his.
