It was a devastating blow, but Cook handled Adam's death like a veteran, continuing with the race and the tour. The stage is his home, he said, "and I find comfort there. It's therapeutic, surrounded by people who care. And it sure beats the hell out of lying in bed, crying."

The experience also bonded him with audiences going through their own devastation, he said, especially in areas hit hard by the economy.

Alright, let me just warn everyone, I'm long-winded... lol! So here's a link to my blog recap of the Manila gig:

MANILA RECAP

In a nutshell, it was un-friggin-believable and I wanna do it again! Thank you David for an amazing experience. Here's to an Asian tour sometime down the road. And yes David, the rest of Singapore is even better than our airport! LOL!

PeachMango, its all DC's doing! He's the one that makes us whoop along with him, I'm still in awe of his live show and I'm glad he got to experience an arena show such as Manila! Can you imagine the original MWK members getting to perform Make Me on that gigantic stage to 40,000? I'm so thrillled for those guys!

reydalupan, I really hope he comes to Singapore soon too, hopefully an Asian tour is in the works especially after he got to talk to fans from around Asia during his time in Manila.

Every song punched you in the face but cradled you before you hit the ground.

One word: UN-FRIGGIN-BELIEVABLE

Alright! Typing this up now while I still have some brain cells that aren't fried by fever. LOL! There were 5 of us inclusive of me who went to Manila from Singapore, the Singapore contingent so to speak. I'm sure there must've been more peeps from here that went but aren't active on the boards.

Why I'm a Fan

Its called ESCAPISM and it makes me HAPPY!

I'm really glad to be a David Cook fan. Everyday, there is something or other to put a smile on my face. I could be on the train on the way to work and listening to his music or remembering a video clip or an interview or some banter from the tour and I'd be smiling like an idiot for no apparent reason! My text message ringtone is David saying he's about to be exposed and THAT puts a huge grin on my face.

I heard Terry on KCRadio and I downloaded the audio thanks to the DC fandom and that baby is now on my cell so that I can listen to it whenever (my cell's my mp3 player). I literally laughed out loud at the one physical AB comment and I choked on a muffin when Andrew asked Terry if he liked Michael Jackson and Terry answered with "Who?"

David Cook makes me happy and I guess that's the main reason why I'm still a fan. And to think I had actually RESISTED thudding for the LONGEST time! I know how I get when I start liking a singer/celeb, it takes up a HUGE chunk of my time and mental energy so when I watched David on AI, I was pretty firm with myself about remaining a CASUAL fan. Usually when AI ends and I'm not a fan of any one of the contestants, I like to be pleasantly surprised when so-and-so puts out a record or I hear their songs on the radio.

So I resisted thudding for the longest time with David. I looked out for him each week and I refused to go to any message boards or fansites, I just read a few official sites here and there. I never knew what David was going to sing ahead of time, I never knew his back story, I was spared a lot of the angsting and that was exactly HOW I wanted it to be. Casual fan enjoying the show for what it is. But alas, resistance is futile when it comes to Cook!

Right around Top 3 week, I started panicking about not getting to see David every week for much longer. And I started getting worried whether or not he would win the whole thing. That's when I realised I had thudded without even realising it! *facepalm* I told myself I'll just go on the message boards to download his performances, I wanna save those but I WON'T participate in any discussion. I'll just look at the pictures BUT I won't save any of them. NOW, I have an external drive chock full of David videos and pictures. I won't tell you how many pictures I have cos even *I'm* afraid to know how many I have! Lol! So much for resisting!

I'm very glad I'm a fan because many aspects of this entire obsession (I hesitate to use that word cos it has negative connotations) make me happy. I will admit to STILL resisting at times, and trying to CURB the obsession but who am I kidding? Lol! I call it ESCAPISM. It may not be entirely healthy but it makes me happy so I'm just gonna go with it.
